Default Side steps that wont corrode?

I purchased 110 side steps from hunters prestige 2 years ago and after 2 winters the paint has completely flaked off on both sides and looks like **** now.

Any recommendations on where to order all black 110 side steps that will last?

The quality of the powder finish and prep for materials especially aluminum is very important. Not too many manufacturers will do high quality finish in an attempt to lower pricing. Our aluminum products go thru an ECC process to prep for powdercoating. This is done at a facility that is similar to corrosion protection performed at auto manufacturing plants. Similar to anodizing, it creates a bond between the aluminum and the finish coating that prevvents corrosion creeping and flaking. It may chip with an impact, but will not cause corrosion to creep under the rest of the coating as with most other aluminum products. Good prep for steel and other metals is also very important. This is another case of getting what you pay for. Proper finish work is not cheap, so it tends to make the finished product more expensive.

We do not sell a proprietary step only, the step is incorporated into our rock sliders. Here is a link to those
