Spray Painting Recommendation for a Hitch with Scratches on it From Shipping
Question:
I just received my hitch. It looks fine. It does have a couple nicks on it. Should I put some touch up paint on those or not worry about it Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
Sometimes in shipping the hitches can get a few scratches or nicks on the surface. I would go ahead and hit them with some black spray paint, especially if you live up north and get snow and the salt that goes along with it.
I attached an FAQ article to the right on rust prevention that you may find informative as well.
