Its still going to happen, I polish on it a little bit everyday, hoping a silver lining will appear. I have sanded them down some more and they appear to look less "Pitty"......But I think the powdercoating will be easier to keep clean.

The pictures make it look worse than it is, I'm waiting on my powdercoat guy to get back with me.
