I bought a DAS roll bar off of eBay for my Cab. $450 delivered. It was listed as mint without a scratch and I believe the seller. It was shipped to me in So Cal from Ohio via UPS. The seller had the UPS store professionally package it in a ton of bubble wrap and tape. When I unwrapped it I found two good scraps and a gouge.
I put a claim in with UPS and we'll see how that goes.
Is this something that can be fixed by the same folks that powder coat things? Or, is there another avenue I should look at. TIA

Chuck,
I thought it was bent or something. Once you powdercoat it, you'll never really look in that area. If you really want to get rid of it, I suppose someone could weld in the holes and then grind it down?
BTW, I'm a picky SOB and those marks wouldn't bug me.

Indeed you'll never see those marks. You got it for a very good price, so if I were you I wouldn't feel too bad about spending a bit getting it powdercoated to cover it up.

That's a great price. As Mark said, the damage is in an area where it will be hard to see. Here is one solution:

Hey, if you can get some bucks from UPS, do it. Maybe jugger911 aka our resident UPS specialist can make sure you get taken care of.
Good luck, Chuck.

Are you going with a different color? Why the repaint?

Hey Tony,
No, it is just scratched up a bit and I would like it to look new. It is more of a medium black and I want to go with flat black.
