    Look to get some sliders for my 21 Pro. Any reason to go for bedliner over powder coat finish? Does anyone have pics of the two options? Hard to tell from the website.

    Heres a pic of the powder coat. Not sure on your question though.

    This has been asked a few times around here. If you're asking, hopefully you won't smash them into shit much. Consensus is to get them powered and then touch up with bed liner as needed.

    Might be easier to touch up over powder coat?

    Also texture, I think bedliner will be more "grippy"

    Lastly, cost. Powdercoat costs a bit more to do. Bedliner you can pretty much do at home with a spray can

    I intend to smash them but this sounds like the right move.

    They seem to be charging more for bedliner for some odd reason.

    I did powdercoat for the tubing but bedliner for the filler plate so it has extra grip for stepping.
