Hi Matt

I bought my kit last year came as standard powder coated to a high quality.

Cant say the same about some of the small parts but I don't want open that can of worms again.

If I were ever to build another westy I would choose to get the chassis uncoated, then I could clean up some of the weld and remove the splater and short ends of mig wire that were left on mine. But that may be me being picky.

all the best

Maybe depends how good business is, but I was offered powder coating FOC if I placed my order when I had my test drive ….

Also with Silver/grey chassis you would see cracks better.

I am going up for a factory tour and test drive and I plan to save my negotiations for then ;)

Thanks for the advice people.
