Default Powder Coat on SFC

Does anybody jack their car up using the SFC? My question is how does the powder coat hold up? does it peel or chip off? Thanks

the paint i used on my SFC's didn't hold up too good, so now i'm getting them powder coated. I'll make sure to use a piece of rubber on my jack. thanks

Not really a direct answer to the question, however the main benefit of powdercoating I noticed is that it's generally a lot easier to clean, but that may not be the case either.

Put something non-metal on your jack, whether it be a rubber orplastic insert or even a small piece of wood. That way you don't get the metal on metal contact.

I use a folded up shop rag, maybe two, to insulate the jack, from the SFC. no problems with the coating.
