If they're getting used... something cheap that comes in a spray pack...

Nothing you can spray on will last if being used. Even powder coating will get chipped when your dragging your arse over rocks.

Use a brush so you dont get overspray.

I just used a cheap can of tyre black on my old 'Runner, just brush it over the scratches after you've washed it, stops 'em getting rusty.

Rattle cans will do the job easy :cool:

Cheap to start with and cheap to tidy up the sliders after a trip ;)

Slight hijak..but my Mav didn't come with side steps and I think that they are a good for protecting the doors from carpark dings...

S/Steps tend to be about 150.00 down Melbourne second hand.

How much are sliders and do they make alternative side steps and would they protect the doors from getting dings. Looking for a manufacturer in the SE suburbs.

Weld them up to suit yourself, include a step. Steel side steps are often pretty strong. Set up a speed camera and you can buy them for all :D :D

I painted my sliders with cold gal (brushed on). It is an extremely tough paint - but like all coatings the rocks still beat it.

I painted my rear bar in POR15, and then with their chassis black over the top as the POR15 is not UV stabilised. Generally it has lasted pretty well, but does end up a pretty matt finish. There is a few little chips now from hitting rocks, but walking on it doesn't scratch it off like spray cans, which really are pretty ordinary. The spray can primer does seem to work very well though, just the paint won't stick to it....

This stuff is not cheap though (Approx $50 for 250mL), but does go a lot further than you would thing. It also takes a while to apply due to 24hr drying time and required about 6 coats, the more the better protection. It is a brush on paint too.

Try www.por15.com for more info.

For what it's worth, I was going to try powder coating for the next items, as it yields a nicer looking finish and wasn't really any more expensive.
