Aluminum Swim Platform corrosion / powdercoating problems

Being that it's an '05, the warranty on it may still apply. It's obvious that Baja is getting some replacement issues on this. They may extend the warranty on a pre-existing issue.

Had an issue with the platform (dark red) on my '03 as well. Had to have work done to platform becuase of a dent. The powdercoating company owner looked at the platform and stated that it should not be faded and peeling. He then put some chemical on a rag (don't remember name) and rubbed it on the platform, it came off on the rag. He stated that it indicates that the platform was never cured properly. Platform has been re-done and it looks better than it ever has........

Does Extreme still make Baja's platforms? If so, the one I bought for my Cig bubbled after a year or so (red). No ground wire. In fact they still use a picture of it on their web site.
I stripped it (a major pain in the azz) and re-painted it myself.

No, thats who I contacted and they blamed it all on the ground wire and discontinued supplying Baja, from what I have read here the new supplier seems to have the issues as well. Thats why I wanted to take it locally to Hanover Powdercoating and just have Baja reimburse the expense, but that isnt the way they roll, My new yellow one is ordered.

I'm still dealing w/ the issue. I was thinking of spraying it w/ LINE X the stuff they use on truck beds. Buddy has a shop and says has been doing alot of Coast Guard boats. What ya think?
