I have had mine for 6 months or so, I don't think the coating is as hard as some but it's not peeling anywhere. It has taken a couple of hits and rubs resulting in exposed base layer. I just taped it off, sanded the area and hit it with flat black rustoleum. You can't tell. The coating on my smittybilt rails and src rear bumper is a bit tougher.
Still really like it, however.

Mine started peeling inside the well where the winch goes after about 4 months (ran it for a couple months without the winch till I got the $$ together). The shop I bought it from had it replaced under warranty within a week and I've had no problems with the new one for a year now.

10 Months with no issues 6 or so with no winch in the well.



No matter what you buy you may have issues but for what you are spending on this bumper the quality is solid.
