[QUOTE="swoop1156, post: 1925529, member: 580"] I finally got the orangey parts back from the powder coating shop. The first run didn't go so well, and I had them redo everything. In hindsight, I'd probably order the [URL='https://swarfworks.com/raptor-rear-trailing-arm-guards-2021/']orange option direct from SwarfWorks[/URL] and call it a day. However, having both powder-coated in Superchrome underneath and [URL='https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/powder-coat-color-to-match-fox-live-valve-shocks.76793/page-4#post-1917073']Prismatic Tropic Orange[/URL] on top, followed by a clear cerakote... it's close enough. The [URL='https://www.foutzmotorsports.com/products/full-length-aluminum-shock-guard-for-gen3-ford-raptor-raptor-r-for-rear-shock-pair']Foutz Full-Length Aluminum Shock Guards[/URL] are awesome, and a welcome addition to the factory guards behind them.

I went to Lowes and got rubber washers for everything so I could imagine that the paint wouldn't rub off being metal on metal. Yeah, I'm that kind of guy. Time will tell.
