    Leveled with Bilstein 5100 shocks, Falken Rubitrek AT 265/75 tires, Redline hood struts, R4T tailgate lock, Matt Gecko LED strips in bed and under hood, WeatherTech hood guard, OEM bed mat, Husky floor mats, Carhart seat covers, Grille replacement with Toyota letters, Sony AX6000 head unit, OTT lite/mild tune, and an occasional splash of fuel additive.
    My 2017 has some wear/tear on the predator steps, especially on lower side. I need to do some touchup painting, probably will use a shaker can of some type. What kind of paint would you suggest to use to do these touchups?

    Find someone who can sandblast & powdercoat them.

    I bought a set of used steps for $100 and a guy refinished them for another hundred. Well worth it, made them look like new.

    I used Krylon rust tough semi flat, it was a good match with my powdercoated RCI sliders.
