Looks good man! I'd like to do this myself. What did you do differently this time than the last time so that you won't get any chipping?

i think it was the two primers that pretty much the key along with making sure the piece is clean before you spray them. mine started chipping about a year later but all i used was adhesion promoter the first time. then i broke down and just had them professionally shot lol

So what is the benefit of using a "self etching primer" with this type of application? I Thought this was mostly for use with bare metal type situations.
