I finally got it after shipping problems with UPS...
My question is that I have used it to jack up my kj already and the powdercoat finish has already come off...
Should I just clean it and paint it with some good ol' rustoleum or what?

I love it btw, just want it to stay new, like it is, and rust-free!
Thanks!

Just spray a little oil on it and call it good. These things chip the finish pretty easy every time you use them. There is a lot of weight on two painted pieces of metal sliding together. Just chock it up to proof that you use it for recovery/jacking, and not as a decoration.

That said, paint it if you want, but better buy a couple cans, because you'll be doing it a lot. :D

What he said. If you use it there is no way to keep the paint on it.
