For rust to sneak under and fester like a band-aid over an infected wound.

My sliders came with powder coat for free... I painted over it and when they get scraped, the rust sneaks further and further under the PC. I was under there last night with the flap disc grinding off powder coat covered rust from original pinholes.

IMHO, powder coat looks great, just never scrape it. So it's good for 90% of JKs.

 

Good to know that!

 

If they did a shitty "free" powder coat without media blasting the metal and properly cleaning it, then yes I could see that happen. If done correctly like my Slee sliders that have been beat on since 2008, you will not have this problem. I just rattle can the scrapes and keep on living life.

 

Whats a sleep slider? Or auto correct slee?

 

You know, hidden sliders sort of like "sleeper" race cars. Stupid auto correct.

 

Another fact, the Pentagon was entirely renovated after 9/11 and whole building is coated in LineX for blast mitigation.

When I was 17 I worked for a Rhino Lining dealership, we coated all sorts of things, floor mats, walls, conex buildings, you can use the stuff on almost anything, it was a interesting job for a young kid.

 

Half day work today, shutting down the office at noon, and my 4 day weekend begins

 

I showed my wife your last post of the tile. I'm not showing her this one I need to finish my truck first

 

It's pretty amazing, I had the electrical version for quick heat-up.

 

Yeah I'm definitely putting in the electric mesh radiant heat into the floors.

 

I'm on day 6 of my 17 day weekend.

 

Killing it on the homemade presents today!



My mom will only take gifts that dont cost a lot and she always loves them! I cant wait to see her reaction with these guys. I have a few more ideas i want to do but i ran out of horse shoes so i guess i have to run down and get more.

 

Oh man I like this idea I'll probably be in touch too!!

 

Jake she's gonna love those!!

 

They were the sliders off the RCI 2nd gen, so they had some age prior to me getting them, but not used in a slider fashion. I scuffed them and painted over them. No signs of being scraped or powder coat wearing off other than the rock chip prone surfaces.

I've touched them up quite a few times after they get used, but moisture still finds a way to burrow further under the powder coat than it appears... And i typically sand a good area around the scrapes.

 

How many horses died to make those gifts?

 

Regardless how old you get parents really enjoy the gifts that are made then bought Jake.

 

Not enough. Going to get more now
