A more durable finish on the rings would be to powder coat flat black, I think this only cost about $40 for the four. I think I'll do the trusses too.
Collimation is a must. Bintel sell a set of Bob's knobs & springs for $96.00

I was quoted over $140.00 for Black Powder Coat of 4Xrings + poles.
Still havent done that one yet.

Dew Sheld also.
