Unfortunately, I don't have any metal working skills, nor do I own one of these, however since I started a thread for the wooden ones I figured it was only fair to start one for those with metal stands as well. So lets see some pictures of those custom metal canopies and stands.

Are you guys just using spraypaint to coat these things or are you powdercoating them to hold up better?

Is that sprayed on or brushed on?

Have you have problems with the paint chipping/peeling off?

The truck liner can be brushed on, they sell kits, i think northern tool has them

I haven't had any issues with chipping or peeling, I prepped it pretty well, good primer and lots of coats

I like those metal stands, they look great. Anybody ever line the inside with wood for a metal/wood stand look? Just curious, as my buddy was going to do this on his.
