Chief Products jumps out in front of the off-road accessories industry by shifting to E-Coat (Electrophoretic Coating) for all of our steel products. E-Coat provides the very highest corrosion protection available for steel automotive parts. Deposited from a water-based solution using a high voltage DC charge, the process coats all wet surfaces with an extremely tough and highly corrosion resistant finish that is unlike any other process. The automotive industry has long been a user of this process for the undercoating of car bodies and it is largely responsible for all but eliminating rust in modern vehicles.
