I love this stuff. Sprays great, covers really good and gives a nice texture (it is on the rougher side) that holds up. I'm going though all my things and paining them this. Most of the powder coating didn't hold up.

Sorry, for digging this up so much later but I'm just now catching up.

I use this stuff a ton. The bad news is it doesn't stick well to anything. The good news is the parts I paint with it need touched up all the time anyway and it touches up amazingly well. :yup:

My Poison Spyder flares are aluminium and ir chips off pretty easy. I prepped it correctly but it just doesn't hold on well. It also comes off the sliders kinda easy, but like I said... I still love it because I can touch it up and it's like nothing ever happened. :yup:

In Army aviation, aluminum panels required zinc chromate as a base coat for the paint to stick to. I have great luck with spray on bedliner in a can.

On another note: that is a sweet transfer case. How about a plexiglass panel on the transmission tunnel, so you could look at it from the drivers seat.

Other than it being anodized red, what are the differences/advantages/disadvantages of this vs an atlas?

3 speed vs 2/4 speed. It's built for strength and horse power. It's more well known in the "rock bouncer" community vs crawling. It bolts directly to the 6l80e without any adapters. I was able to customize my gear ratio.

Sounds awesome. I wish my Atlas was a 3 speed. A middle range would be nice. Hopefully it shifts a little easier. Im still learning how to properly shift the atlas. You can't shift into low while stopped.

You're not even supposed to do that with the stock TC.

What did you choose for the gear ratios? 2.72:1 and 4:1?!?!
