Have it powder coated, alot more durable, and its inexpensive too.

some parts are plastic tho. i was thinking about airbrushing it a little. i found a bad ass video online i want to try on a few things and see if i can do it right. do you think air brushing with alot of clear will hold up

enough clear should keep it from corroding, not sure how tough it will be as far as scratch resitant. Worth a shot tho, I would imagine good enough coat on it will help. Let me know how your airbrushing works out.
