How does the powder coating protect the skid plate?
The Italian AkzoNobel powder-coated finish provides superior scratch resistance, corrosion protection, and a long-lasting aesthetic appearance.

The Rival skid plate is a must-have for any serious Ranger owner. The fitment is perfect, and the aluminum is thick enough to handle anything I throw at it. The powder coat looks great too.
