    This may be a stupid question but here it goes... i got my weld on sliders in the mail and want to get them powdercoated. Can i powder coat all the parts then weld everything together, or will the welds not work over the powder coat?

    You should be fine because when the welder, welds them to your truck they are going to have to grind down where they are welding to have metal on metal contact.

    ok got yall thanks for the inputs. I was thinking of just painting on a coat of rhino liner or plastidipping them. Atleast all this can be done after they are fully assembled and on the truck.

    You're still going to use paint to paint the welds. Use liner or rustoleum paint because they get nicked up pretty bad. Especially if you offroad.
