Paint was applied to protect the metal, then clear coat was applied to protect the paint that protects the metal, then ceramic coating was applied to protect the clear coat, that protects the paint that protects the metal… to protect all of that you need a bill bar… it all kinda makes buying a beater the sane move.I've just made peace with the scratching of plastic, especially after moving my drawer system in/out a few times over the past few days (both side panels are scratched, both cargo door cards are scratched, etc.
I see it the same way as I see the paint, that too is and will continued to get scratched as it gets used![]()
