Pro 1 Aluminum doors

Now that I have my doors on the way I need to figure out how I am going to get that shiny aluminum black to match my rhino, whats everyone's opinion? Anodize, powder coat, or just a spray bomb them. I talked to one body man and he said aluminum was hard to get paint to adhere to, IDK. The internet says that anodizing is cheaper than powder coating. Lets get some opinions going.

Powder Coating is the way to go on aluminum. However, my doors are painted. There was no way to match it with powder. If they know what they are doing it can be painted.

As soon as they get here I am going to see another paint shop and look for somewhere that powder coats and anodizing. Another suggestion that I got was to have a vinyl skin made for them, I may check into that too. I could have the club decal printed into it.

That's not a bad idea.

I know......As soon as the doors get here I am going to take them to our local decal shop and see what it would cost to have them done with a black decal and the club logo printed on them.

It sure is taking them a long time.....

They said they had to build them for the rhino

I got the tracking number on my doors today, I don't think I will deal with this company ever again. This has really been a mess.

Damn right!

Well they did fit good and look great, but the customer service is awful and that means a lot.

now the plunger on the passenger side is sticking, driverside works great
