it'll chip anywhere you hit it with a wrench or a rock or anything
but eh, it's a 50, takes no time at all to rip it apart, clean it, scuff it, paint it, and throw it back together. For me it's always been a 1 afternoon job lol
Mine's nothing special, just cheap under $30 paint job's both time, the white was 96 cents a can at walmart lol
my first paint job, metalic blue

and before I got a black seat on it

and my current paint, had this done for almost 2 years now.. First pic is when it was first done

and today almost 2 years later

ahh if you use car paint you'll be good, a lot better then spray paint
but it will still be just like a car, wack it with a wrench or something, and it will chip.. Compared to a quality powder coat job, that you can wack pretty damn hard with steel and not have it chip
Either way, it's easy enough to paint, and cheap enough, so screw it and do it!
