TiAg splitters yellowing!

gonzo · 07-24-2007, 06:23 AM

Has any one noticed a change of color on their splitters? It seems mine have taken on a yellow/goldish color. I will take some pics later. Mine are silver and have been on about 3 months.

.... could be due to a cheap paint job

I don't want to trash a company on here.

If they will not offer some good will then maybe I will disclose the seller.

We need picts.

If primed and painted right...yellowing should not occur. There was a group buy a few months back...I purchased a ACS replica lip...the company might have been the same you got the splitters from. Anyway, there were issues with the painter they were using...my lip came and the paint was all cracked and peeling. The painter didn't mix the paint right and left out the flex additive. He did replace...but I had to wait a while! Perhaps somthin similar happened with your splitters?

It is still a little cloudy here. When the sun comes out I will post a pic. That is when it is most noticeable.

Maybe its contaminants from the splitters being mounted so low. Did you try claybarring?

maybe its just cheap paint.
