That may be true, but I'd prefer the repair's finished state to look like it never happened. So since the subframe is only painted, my only concern is durability and color match.
Besides, wouldn't all that rubberry texture compromise a clean, flat mounting surface? Also, wouldn't the coating squish and tear a bit once the corners of th ASR mounting brackets gets torqued down, exposing the metal anyway?
