Black powdercoating is no longer available and has not been for quite some time, as that color only accounted for approx. 1.7% pf our total color demand in sales- therefore it was dropped.

Default Black?

Just curious why the color would be important. When it is installed you can't see it unless it is on a rack.

Our thoughts also... Most folks like and want red, so that's what we produce.

Glad I got one of the last black ones then. Just a personal preference for me but I wanted black and got one of the last ones about 9 months ago. Great product in any color!

When I get a lift, I will be constantly camping out in a lawn chair underneath, staring up at my car. This will bother me since red clashes with blue.

Do you guys sell them with no powdercoating?
