Spray paint

 

por15 then some rustoleum bedliner

 

See above

Does the por15 act as a primer or is primer not needed for bedliner?

 

Did you order yours yet? I wonder what the turn around time is on the cbi swing out. I just put in an order for a new rear bumper with a swing out but it won't be ready until April.

 

yeah, basically a primer. its a very good rust inhibitor. its not cheap but i think its worth it to put that as the base layer. read up on it

wont order one until i get back from TDY in may. plus need to get the truck running right before i do that too so i can actually go pick it up

 

rustolem red primer, rustolem satin black. Easy to touch up. That's what is on my front bumper. I rotolem primered the rear bumper and sliders then sprayed with bedliner. It's holding up. I may do the new bumper with red primer and rustolem satin black. Looks like powder coat but again easy to touch up.

 

Go pick it up in Idaho? Damn that's a journey. Are you going to make it to ure?

 

hell no im not going to pick it up in idaho. i ment pick it up when its shipped here i wont have it delivered to teh apartment.


i plan on going to URE. ill be back from washington apr 27. as soon as i get back and figure out whats wrong iwth the truck, ill get it fixed. hopefully i get it fixed this week if its jumped timing. if the timing chain or tensioner is fubared. ill get it fixed when i get back from washington

 

Awesome, Ill look into it.

 

nothing to do and no money to spend

 

Chris,
I used Rustoleum bed liner spray paint on my bumpers and sliders. I have no complaints about it. If you are not going to powder coat, there is really no other option. Personally, I wouldn't powdercoat anyway. Too expensive and about impossible to repair any rock chips. Underneath the bedliner, I used self etching primer. This was the advice that I got from Relentless Fab. I don't know if this is more or less impact/scratch resistant than Ryan's por15, but I do know it is cheaper.
On a separate note, Rigid gives a 10% military discount. I am replacing my PIAA fog lights with a pair of their D2s.

 

Thats what Im thinking too. How many cans you think Ill need for two sliders?

Ryan, is a quart of Por15 good for two sliders? This shit is expensive.

 

ive used a quart on my front bumper, sliders, crossmember for the crawler. skid plates. also, got a half qt for free from my supervisor so now i have basically 3/4 qt of a quart left.

so yes, u will have plenty left over. also, make sure u dont fuck up the can and lid cuz it will harden up after it sits

 

So as promised here is a pic of the 255s...last pic before the plate bumper goes on.

 

My buddy sends me Chuhais and georgia coffee from Guam! I was stationed in Sasebo

 

I would get at least two cans of it, keep in mind that you will want some to do touch-ups. Sliders seem to be a natural rock magnet....

 

Those Georgia coffees have been the hardest addiction to break. That was my normal drink at leat 4 or 5 a day for 10 years...even at sea they had them on all ny ships. I get to go to sasevegas in august and plan on stocking a whole ammo magazine full!!!

 

That Georgia coffee was a life saver on the pier ecp or top side rover. I really miss beef bowl, yakiniku and pepper lunch. Spent three years on ddg 63.

 

true, but for just sliders, one can will be plenty. its not like u will have to touch up every week. just after u go wheeling
