Question Trouble with SLP bolt on SFC's Rusting?

Has anybody had trouble with the SLP Bolt on SFCs rusting? A guy the other day was showing off his SLPs to me and the quality did look pretty good. However the SLP ad says "high gloss black paint". When he called and ordered them they said they are out for Powdercoat and would ship in a week. Well when he got them, they are this dull flat black color, looks like they were painted in Rustoleum flat black spray paint. Just wondering if anyone had trouble with them rusting easy or maybe this is just a flat powdercoat paint or rust protectant? Just doesnt seem like the paint would hold up well as others I have seen, Just curious if any has had trouble?

Seems like SLP is having there powder coating done differently now, the first ( I believe it was 2001 ) SLP driveshaft loop was gloss black the second one ( 2003 ) was flat black.
