<pre>TeriAnn,
No, wrong!! They specifically state: "Grade 304". </pre>

OK, Grade 304 stainless steel 1.5 mm thick. Makes for very thin
bumper. But it does have 3 layers of paint on the back side to
protect the bumper.<br>

That is NOT plating, that is the composition of the steel to an international forging composition
standard that sets the amount of nickel, chromium, molybdenum and other metals used in the forge.
100% is not a grade, that is supporting the statement for 304 stainless which is the grade.
Nowhere in their statement do they make any claim "plated" or stainless steel plated.
They do state for marketing 100% stainless steel, and engineering standard for 304 grade.
It is an engineering thang ...

<pre>Sorry Alex,
You may want to do some fact checking. There is no grade for "solid stainless steel".
I do not believe a stainless-steel plating exists for plating over
mild steel technology exists a of yet.
