    If you plan to use as armor, paint for sure. I used por15 as a basecoat on my sliders topped with bed liner. This has worked very well. Still need to touch up after the winter with all the road sand

    Paint on sliders and skids for sure, those get sand/gravel blasted pretty bad and quick. Bumpers will hold up a bit longer so it comes down to a saving time vs saving money on those for me.
