Default Not sure it is paint?

I am surprised after being on the market for 4+ years, everyone still says the same on the finish. I swear they throw it in a tank of black oxide or graphite powder before shipping. Not sure I would call it paint. Some people paint or powdercoat (what I did for detail) them to clean them up because it sure does not arrive "clean". Thankfully, the "function" works very well, though the finish, as received, is sub-par.

As folks have said, it does make a difference on the Tundra. Cost effective mod with results!
