Rattle can
Paint them as cheaply as you can cause if you use them, they are going to have to be repainted. Mine are less than 6 months old and in desperate need of a paint job and that is only from two wheeling trips! If you got someone who will line-x it or powder coat it for free, go for it, but anything more than a rattle can on something you are going to have to repaint at least once a year is a waste!

Why is that?
1. Line-X'ing or Rhino lining will not let your aforementioned sliders do the job of SLIDING.
2. If you USE your sliders regularly, then they'll get so scarred up from use, that you'll need frequent touchups.

I'm surprised it didn't rip it all off if it ripped the bottom off... but another vote for rattle can! I couldn't bring myself to pay more for a coating thats going to get scratched than almost the whole set of sliders!
fyi, if you want good cheap sliders let me know... I can get you a set for $150 with a rattle can finish...
PM me if interested!

I got my sliders from stubbs (I think same person u gave cept the website i got from was www.stubbswelding.com). He personally told me to use spray can stuff. I got hammer-ed (i think) to put on them.

You better ask what thickness of powder coating your getting for your money. For exterior use, you better get at LEAST 30 microns.
I choose LINE-X. Much tougher and more durable than anything that's powder coated. You know what powder coating is, right? It's just paint powder.

Powder is applied electrostatically by charging the powder particles and applying them directly to the grounded part. The charged powder adheres to the surface until it enters a curing oven where the powder melts, bonds and cures to the desired surface characteristic.
That being said, i'd still use Krylon for the reasons mentioned in previous posts. However, I would use powdercoating before line x.

I have many customers that come in with powercoated grill guards. They tell me that the powdercoating lasts about 3 years before it eventually gets chipped and begins to peel (and rust). We LINE-X many of them. The good news is that we can spray LINE-X right on top of the powercoating.
