ive just got a few quick questions for all the splitter owners out there....first, how much paint did it take to paint the splitter? does a pint cover it? oh yeah, on a side note, i went to a few places today trying to find some paint, and every where i went, a little pint of paint cost around 70-75 dollars....that seems steep to me, but i guess paint isnt cheap. the other question i have is....should i go ahead and install it before the splitter gets painted to go ahead and get the holes drilled, and see if it is going to fit right? thanks for all your help and advice, you guys are always a great help....
