    New m1009 with rust question

    Yes it does peel from wear and tear I used to have to scrape the cars and then reapply it on almost every car that came in for touch ups.

    snow plow question?

    Ok good to hear. I figured it would but wanted to ask first. It would be a good deal for me as the owner is only asking 1400 for the truck with plow beats buying new even if I would have fix a hose or seal. Plus I can part the truck out and maybe make some money back.
