    I hit a rock on the trails that took a nice ship out of my C4 bumper powdercoat and exposed the steel. It was rusting so I sanded it down and sprayed primer then touch up paint (paint is still wet) over it. I masked it off but (not very well as you can see :smack:) there's primer running everywhere. It's fairly thin and may just fade off but any tips on cleaning it up?

    Powder coat won’t last very long. Have it LineX’d and be done with it.

    Redo it with some spray on bed liner. If you are hitting rocks you will have to redo them often and it’s easy to touch up.
