    All,

    I ordered some All-Pro Off Road sliders today and want to know the best way to paint them. Please post some pics of your trucks with what paint you used or just feel free to reply with what you used would work as well. Thanks!

    Plastidip would work. Easy to fix when scratched.

    Rubbed down with paint thinner because they are shipped in an oily substance to protect them during shipping. Then, self etching primer 3-4 coats. And finally Rustoeum flat black 3-4 coats.

    Added some ladder traction "grip-tape" for traction in the rain, snow and ice.

    Those look really good. Didn't realize they came with oil on them, makes sense though. Thanks for the advise.

    I'd like a bed-liner type of application - is there an 'over the counter' type of spray paint that will give that effect?

    Anywhere that sells spray paint should have that.

    Just mounted a set on my AC after painting with Rust-Oleum primer and satin black paint. Been using Rust-Oleum on hard parts for 25 years. It's easy to touch-up the scratches and dings. If you actually use the sliders, you will need to touch them up regardless of what you use.
