What do you guys do to keep them nice under torque?
What kind of paint are you using? A good epoxy is scratch resistance but takes longer to dry than enamel or lacquer, you might have to wait overnight at least
are they rattle can or gun? The epoxy you can mix w/hardner if it's a gun. But you can find it in a spray can..Vernski
