I detailed my dad’s truck like a month ago and I noticed some rust spots on his side steps. It’s weird because it’s a 2018, southern truck and not a spec of rust anywhere else. I figured it would be an easy job. Six bolts a side, throw them on some saw horses and sand the rust spots, prime, and paint. Boy was I wrong. Their powder coat was shit and all flaking off, then I noticed the insides were rusting out.
I sanded them down. Tomorrow I’m priming and painting. The insides are starting to rust out so after the paint is cured, my dad is going to POR-15 the insides. I was going to surprise him since he was so happy when I detailed his truck. They should be fine after all of this, but this is unacceptable. I had Rough Country side steps that looked exactly the same but were $200 cheaper. N-Fab is supposed to be better. I sold the Canyon a few years ago, but never noticed any rust.
Things escalated quickly
