This Hugger is not painted. It is the black ABS plastic ready to be primed and painted. This Hugger is made of ABS plastic without the holes predrilled so you can mach it up and simply drill the mounting holes. It is a perfect fit not like the other companies low grade fiberglass. Since our Huggers are made of ABS plastic they weigh about one third the weight of the fiberglass huggers. Yana Shiki USA continues strives to beat the competition with quality, price, and service.
