I've had mine for about 3 years and yes the paint is going bad, but I have used and abused the crap out of it. Last week I put about 400 pounds of heavy timbers on it, I wouldn't recommend doing that but I needed to get them and it was my only choice. It held up fine. I will probably take it off in a month or two strip it down and repaint it. Most of the corrosion occurs near the welds so I'm guessing the weld are not cleaned well prior to painting. I have got a lot of use from the rack and have been quite happy. I got the rack without the tire carrier and highly recommend this option. Without the tire rack you can actually fit two tires plus plenty of other stuff and have much more flexability for what you can carry with the tires off the rack. If you get the tire mount version it may look cooler but is definitely not as functional.
