Yes there was something in there they couldn't get out after two attempts. I meant the heat used for curing the powder coat. They sand blasted first, cleaned, air blasted whatever to get that area clean, then they powder coated. I went to look at them and said they were definitely not going on my truck the way they looked. They started over by blasting them clean again, re-coated them and they turned out looking the same, so I had them blasted clean and paid them for that work only (sand blasting). I really wasn't aware that steel rims were so much work.
