Painting my Rock Sliders, really happy with how they look!

[ixo]

There was a thread recently that was giving me worry about the powder coating CaliRaised uses, they don't do it in house, and it looks reeally thin, so I had them send them to me raw. Local powdercoating shops wanted an arm and a leg, and lots of people say to just rattle can them as they'll take abuse, and even powdercoating will eventually come off, and you want to be able to retuch it on the fly.

I'm using a "Hammered" Krylon Fusion, and loving the color of these in the sun!

As they arrive:

Sanded them down a bit to give the paint adherance, then started laying this stuff on:

Think they'll match my wheels really well, which were darker than I thought they'd be originally:

Will post back once I have them mounted!

I found that the best affordable DIY solution is super tough Raptor 2K bedliner aerosol for around $38 a can. It’s a bit pricey but extremely durable. The finished product looks like it was professionally applied. Just be sure to purchase more than you think you will need.

That looks significantly better than their powder coating.

Looks Awesome man!

If I had to though, I'd choose maybe multiple coats of bed liner or raptor liner
