Paint powder coated sliders?

[jjdbike]

Hi folks
Picking up a set of used Metal Tech OPOR Sliders. They are powder coated & have some wear on step surface and a scratch on bottom.

There is a local powder coat place but I assume that would be cost prohibitive.

I will not be rock crawling mostly using as steps and some added protection for light off road.

I’d like to touch them up so they look a little better and to protect them from rust / corrosion as I run on salty/sandy ocean beach.

What would you recomend? A little added grip on top would be nice but not if it’s just going to fade, peel and look like crap. Would any type spray-paint stick to powder coat? What kind would you think would stand up to wear & tear of sun, weather, salt, road cinders etc?

Thanks in advace.

Hey folks, I e-mailed metal-Tech & this is what they said.

"This is what we use in our shop.
ACE Premium Enamel Black Satin. P/N 1373695”
Thanks!

Sounds like some good advice for sure. I would have just grabbed some rustoleum flat black.

Sandpaper and some black enamel.

Make sure you don't overspray the body

I've done that once or twice...

Thanks folks.

Along w/ a couple coats of the black spray paint, I was thinking of adding some type of textured grip on top for when I’m using as a step to access the roof rack. I read somewhere that spray-on bedliner can work but the rubbereized stuff doesn’t do well w/ UV and fades to gray. Any suggestions?

Hey Land Crusier, where did you get that pic? That in addition to your tag “I break stuff make me chuckle every time.”

Thanks again.

I’m thinking of doing some type of texture on top to add grip. Looking in to Monstaliner. I like that it is UV stable & won’t fade, at least for a while. Only need it on top. Good idea? Any input on this?
