Just spray pain 'em. That way if they get scratched up you just give them a quick shot and they'll look like new.

Agreed. Rustoleum to protect them, perhaps?

I believe Stubbs recommends Hammerlite Spray from Home Depot.

Hope this helps.

Yeup, that's what Richard had mentioned before.

I actually did mine with two coats of Rust-oleum primer then two coats of Rust-oleum flat black. Paint them before they go on if possible it's a LOT easier! Scheduling wise it made more sense for me to do it after and it was "fun".

I used the rust-oleum hammered finish stuff. It came out smoother than the cap texture but it's still damn cool

And I believe we missed a spot that needs to be re-done! That's what you get for having a spray can in one hand and a margarita in the other.

I'm kidding, they turned out really good. I need some.

Do this in the garage, with the doors shut. Do you have any idea how HIGH you would get? sweet!

So you had been sniffing glue for 7 hours straight? Did you at least save some for his mom? drunk:
