    Rattle can painting

    That's my experience as well. It's pretty easy to get a great looking finish from a rattle can, it just doesn't last. Even with lots of prep work, good primer and plenty of clear coats...

    Are new tyres just badly made?

    I haven't noticed new tires degrading any faster than older tires. Seems like it would come down to a few factors like how they're stored, conditions they're used in, and the rubber compound used. Softer tires wear faster, harder tires wear longer but crack sooner?

    What is the preferred method of paint removal from steel?

    Re: Re: They usually look fine, they're just not as durable as a powder coat or the expensive paints. That may have just been the paint I used though.
