painting CBI sliders

was bored last night, started with a drill with wire wheel, took all the light rusting off from shipping.
prepped with TSP solution and degreased them, taped off the area's to be welded to the frame.
sprayed 3 ligth coats of primer.
then 2 coats of rustoleum bed liner.

i am going to spray 1-2 light coats of bedliner again and 3 coats of clear but am waiting for them to cure for a few days. then on to find time for welding to my truck. I will say the i am wearing a respirator next time. I hate breathing in all that crap.... I am very pleased with the way they came out and can't wait to get them on my truck, plus my new wheels.

 

Looks good! Did you get them welded on yet? I like the look of the cbi sliders but I'm concerned that the kick out doesn't have any support in the middle

 

Looks good

 

Crazy I found this thread after wire wheeling my cbi offroad sliders, how did eveything come out?

 

ah still sitting in my gargage, i am working nights at the moment, work has been kicking my ass, i just got back into my home after a few months living in a hotel due to a very incompetent contractor,
but i am getting them installed in a few weeks, hopefully.

 

that looks good maan. how much did you spend on supplies? or is it just cheaper to have them paint it?

 

lessoned learned, There is alot more to painting than i thought. it was starting to get chips just from moving them around. i checked area's on the sliders with a screw driver and was removing paint after applying very little pressure and was like ok, off to powdercoating, for a $150 to have them sandblast and powder coated seemed like a good deal. i should have them tomorrow and welded on my truck friday.
