Default Whiteline lateral Arms

I purchased a few whiteline products last week & I must say there paint finish is shockingly bad, esp on the kateral arms. You can't really tell at a distance & on pic but trust me they were chipped scratched & scuffed ( tut tut .


But me being me it needed addresed, so here they are now
I'm happy

Paint quality on most stuff is crap.

I've got a Cusco underbrace thing on my car, it was rusty as **** after about a month.

Whiteline rear ARB fared a little better.

Whiteline stuff is notoriously bad. The original stuff was truly awful but they did address it and it improved slightly. Still pretty poor though imo.
I did hear that they will replace items that have rusted but suppose they would need to be fairly new items. I can't see them replacing an ARB that joe blogs bought 3 years ago...lol...

Buy nice new shiny item. Take to powder coaters. Have **** finish blasted off and decent powder coat applied. Yeah makes perfect business sense to sell stuff like that lol yet they are still popular. I have heard CDF have a better finish.
