 and my Tahoe even is getting a body mount that is so rusted that I've got to watch it, and I'm going to have to scrap that thing into probably another year or less because I've let it go. So that'll protect it. As far as the paint go, well, guess what? NHOU also sells a ceramic paint sealant as well. So contact them, ask them about that, and that will protect the paint from both salt and the UV rays and things like that.
