    Help you do what ? Paint ?? I hate painting !!! But I DO like eating paint chips !! (as long as theres lead in them ), :eek::eek:

    heheheh, seriously though hi-end coatings are great as long as there not on something you KNOW is going to get scratched up at the very least, they are sliders after all. & I promise, you'll be kicking yourself the first time that high dollar shit gets pulverized on a rock. Good ol' Rustoleum enamel is what I'd use, apply 2nd coat after the first one sets & cures.

    It stays tacky for awhile til the drying period is over so make sure you set them somewhere to dry that doesn't have alot of dust & shit flying around. Plus its pretty much self leveling and drys hard, good shit

    & finally, when you DO scuff them up you'll say " Oh my, I've aquired a blemish on my otherwise perfect ALLPRO sliders." Whereupon you whip out your trusty can of spray paint & retouch them as opposed to " HOLY SHIT !! NOW I GOTTA HAVE THEM REDONE !!" Costing many $$$$ just my .02 bro'. :D:D

    Derek Rattle can those bad boys. Trust me on this one, youll be happy every time you touch them up and they look new. Powedercoat is nice and looks good, but think about why you put those sliders on your truck, im pretty sure it wasnt to look good at the mall. Mine were rattle canned brotha...
