Good evening! Missed this morning because of a 5k run, came in second in my age group, but the real prize was a $50 gift card I won in a drawing.

Question, I'm taking a poll, is this a weld crack or a paint crack?

I would try to flake some of the paint off and make sure. I'm afraid it looks like a weld crack personally...

Congrats on your run and 2nd place, and the gift card!

Looks like a weld crack to me.

Looks to me like paint crack but hard to say for sure....

very hard to tell, but I'm guessing paint too. Heavy paint job, look over to the left for what looks like more paint cracking.

Will have to grind off paint to know for sure. If it is a crack goes from weld into nonwelded steel which would be somewhat unusual. If it is a crack v- notch crack then weld back using several passes of weld grinding flush then painting after finishing

It's a tough one but maybe paint crack. Scrape some paint off.

Simply amazing that you placed where you did in the race. If it was graded on a curve you would have come in first by about ten minutes. I sure hope you were wearing your TBN ribbon.

I'll guess it's a paint crack. There are some other lines to the left that look like paint "stretch marks".

To me, it looks like a paint crack...but you won't know unless you either strip the paint or have the area checked by magnetic particle inspection (more commonly call "Magnaflux").

Congrats on race Don.

My vote is paint, but a flick of a knife point could tell for sure., either way, I'm sure you want to repaint.
