Well the one I got has kind of some surface rust on it....so I was wondering what everyone does to prevent that...my plan is to paint it black and then put a couple of clear coats on it. Anyone have any other idea's?

 

painted mine with undercoating and has been tough as hell in any weather.

 

I repainted mine a few times but when I use it it takes the paint back off so I gave up.

 

I powdercoated my last one. Current Hi Lift hasn't got bad enough to have to do anything yet.

 

I had my cousin sandblast and paint mine. Just picked it back up today.

 

I spray my with WD40, but I also store my inside my rig so it doesn't get covered with dirt.

 

How did the poweder coating hold up to being used?

I haven't found a way to do that yet because it takes up a lot of room that's why it's on the outside for now.

 

The powdercoat was holding up pretty good, while the jack lasted. If I ever do anything with my current Hi Lift, I'll probably powdercoat it too

 

Well looks like I am getting it powder coated then thanks!
