touched up my sliders and started on my hitch...
figured i wasnt going to try to rattle can them on my truck as its pretty windy here this time of year. also, i used the same stuff i sprayed them on with and a fowm brush (i think it does a better job without streaking)
the goods!
before sliders....
after...
hitch before....
after...
all i did was whipe em down real good, sand em a bit and throw some paint on there! now ill just touch em up when needed. the 8oz can of paint was PLENTY and ill have enought to put another coat on them tomorrow and still have about half left for touch ups or some frame/axle work!!!

looks :bigclap: nice. the "before" pic is what mine look like all the time, lol (got new ones coming) but I use to repaint them after every wheeling trip, that got to be a pain.

if your gonna wheel, i wouldnt waste the $ on a powder coat job! i am not sure of its durrabilty but i would guess if you put it on a rock, it'll look like that reguardless of what kinda finish you choose! why red?

my sliders are powder coated. they've held up pretty well through the rocks.
a can of hammerite spray paint touches them up real nice.
this brush on paint business looks good tho.

no problem. thanks for the atta-boys! also, i used 200/400 and 600 wet/dry sand paper. i spent alot of time on the top and sides and just roughed up the bottom enough to get fresh paint to stick...as if it wasnt chewed enough!! ill put another two coats on there over the weekend.
