    same shit as everyone else
    I'd use a self etching primer and then just a flat black or the Napa rubberized coating. The rustoleum spray on bed liner is on my sliders and hasn't held up any better then just regular flat black rustoleum paint.

    Self etching primer and spray paint of choice, or duplicolor bed liner would be my choice

    That is what I am going to try for all mine. change it up a little. Im not to sure how red will look on a silver/ black fender flare truck will look, but that is why it is spray paint.

    Red skids are going to show where they did their job as well... Red paint on all the big rocks! Haha.
    I was thinking maybe doing red skids on my truck, not sure if it would be too much red on red, or would tie together nicely. Hmm

    For finish: I vote self-etching primer . . . then roll-on herculiner bedliner.

    Kinda want them to stand out, my front skid is black and looks good. Grey would look really also but I think a bright color is what im trying for. I will just repaint them gray after I have scratched all the red off

    IMHO the roll-on stuff is just way too thick and not easily touched up for skid plates/bumpers/sliders. The rattle can stuff is much easier to apply, is cheaper, and obviously is WAY easier to touch up!

    Just my .02, not that using the roll-on stuff is bad... Just overkill!

    I agree with ya, I take 5 mins after a trip to keep rust off. But if he is not planning on scratching to much the texture would give it all a nice look.

    I threw this out in the norcal section and got shot down pretty fast. What about red sliders :D? Not bright red of course, maybe a darker red against a black truck.
