TJM & Powder coating
those of you with the TJM`s has the paint on it faded ? i was thinking "when" i get mine, having it powder coated, is that a waste of money ? or would keeping a good coat of wax on it prevent it from fadding ?

Hmm...evidently they are using crappy powder. You can get them sandblasted and powder coated again but what you want to look for is how good is the company's pretreatment. Where I used to work we used acid for aluminum for an etcher and iron phosphate for iron and had a special sealer for the last stage. Anyways...Tiger Drylac has a line of "super durable" powder that withstands some UV fading and is pretty solid. If you want it to be even more durable to the elements...have them powder coat a clear over it. I'm a powder coater...just my 2 cents

This is about the best one I have:
linex
The linex has faded a bit, but I think they have something to treat it with to help prevent that or restore it. Certainly no rock chips though
