I got my sliders in the mail..

I am pretty bummed out. I bought them off ebay and on the description it clearly states that they were powder coated black... well to my suprise when I got home they were bare metal!

Any clue on the cost to powder coat rock sliders? Here is a picture of one of them. I like how they slapped the shipping labels directly to the sliders for a nice easy removal for me

 

Just paint em if your gonna scratch em..easier touch up
Sucks they ripped you...I would email them at least
Probably cost @ 100 to powder coat

 

If I were you I'd go buy some sort of truck bed liner spray and go that direction. It would look badass and hold up pretty well against the environment/scratches/

 

Yeah definately write them tell them you will give them a bad feedback, i would say $75-125 for the powder coat.

 

I'd say you're looking at $150 to prep and powder those from a shop. i'd just rattle can em

 

I was thinking of this but want them to be smooth for when my girlfriend gets in an out of the truck. She is short and slides out and I can picture the rough bed liner stuff scrapin up her booty. I want that thing nice and smooth!!

 

You think I should try and get partial refund? or anything? I paid through paypal and the auction on ebay said powder coated black.

 

Really i used the bedliner for my bumper not rough at all really smooth how short is your girl to rubb on the sliders lol.

 

I thought you step on them not sit on them....and the truck bed liner would be a better grip so your GF won't eat it on the way up!

 

Haha shes like 4'1"... jk I don't know her height but shes petite. And I think her legs would hit prob not her ass.

haha ok good idea then.. where do i get this bed liner stuff?

 

i got mine at kragen duplicolor bed liner awesome stuff its a rattle can

 

This stuff? Does it look all bumpy or does it come out semi smooth?

 

That sucks bro. I would just rattle can them, like everyone said, your probably going to get them all scuffed up. How does the quality look? I'm picking mine up this weekend at a steel price ($150)!

 

Semi smooth good stuff!

 

Are you getting the Trail Gear? Thats what mine are... they seem like good stuff just bummed they didn't come powder coated. They are also pretty damn heavy! Like 50 lbs each easy.

 

How should I prep them? Any primer, rustoleum etc? There are some spots that are a little rusty looking.

 

I'm getting the exact same ones, Trail Gear. Just buying them from a local guy who is selling them for $150.

 

I got mine for $300 to my door w/ $70 off from the ebay live.com deal. So $230 shipped brand new thought it was a steal until I found out they weren't powder coated! Lol.

 

Priming coudn't hurt. I would just do many, many coats of the liner. I know there are some members on here that did there bumpers etc. with the same method I hope they chime in and help you out.

 

if i were you, i'd wipe them down with laquer thinner, then scuff them up a bit, then wipe them with laquer thinner one more time.............then they'll be ready for coating.
