Advantage to Having a Chrome Plated Ball Mount Over Powdercoat
Published 04/23/2015
Question:
Other than cosmetics are there any advantages to this Curt chrome plated ball mount over the powder coated version? Is one or the other more rust prone?

Expert Reply:
Chrome plating will offer a bit more corrosion resistance than a paint or powder coat finish that can be chipped off. Chrome plating tends to be a bit more resistant to corrosion because of this.
The part # C45295 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a ball mount and hitch ball. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
