    Just pulled the trigger and bought a Relentless fab "Honey Badger" bumper for my 09. Im debating on how to paint or coat it. I like the idea of powder coat for corrosion prevention but I want something that is easy to touch up. Im stuck between a high end epoxy paint so I can touch up with rattle can or having a line-x coating on the faces that catch the rock chips. What have ya'll done out there for your bumpers that holds up?

    Rattle can it. Clean it well then a couple coats of self etching primer followed by 3 coats of rustoleum bed liner. Easy to touch up and plenty durable.

    I was thinking about doing the same exact thing. Unless I can talk my buddy into powder coating it :D. It's good to hear the rattle can method is holding up well for someone
