Rock Sliders need refinished

It depends if you are just going to tear them up again.

Powder coating does have it's advantages but it is expensive. It looks great and does look good much longer than paint. It isn't bullet proof though. You'll still get scrapes & gouges. The good part is that they won't spread. You'll still have to touch up the scrapes with paint so that area won't rust.

You'll be able to paint them 8-10 times for what it costs to have them powder coated.

A cheap upgrade to standard spray paint is Rustoleum Texture (spray) paint. The black texture paint is GREAT. Very strong... well, stronger than standard spray paint, and looks like powder coat, and is "off-road" looking.

I get mine from Lowes. Under $8 each.

I like plasti-cote truck bed liner, or any other brand of rattle can truck bed liner.

It's a little more scuff resistant than plain ol' paint.

Might be a good idea to prime & paint with a rust prohibitive like por 15 or rust bullet, then a top coat of bed liner...

Since most of what gets scraped off isn't visible, it could be touched up with a brush or roller...
(Most bedliners are available in qt's & half gallons)

Brush on is much stronger than the spray on. I've used the DupliColor one both ways. The spray on version scratches off easily.

Somewhat along the same lines.....wonder if that's also true for the GatorBack coating....rolling on vs. aerosol spraying on....
