    I’ve got a small area on my steps that chipped off paint and is showing off the bare metal.

    Any recommendations on a spray paint to help touch up the spot? I should probably get it recoated but I’m also thinking about replacing the steps with sliders all together so I don’t want to have it fully recoated yet.

    I gotta assume Rustoleum makes something close enough. My Preds are chipped and blasted to hell, but I have never thought to do anything about it. It's Aluminum so it's not going to rust.

    Or just Rhino line the whole thing.

    Take them off (only 6 bolts per side) and rattle can the whole thing. They're very lightweight, I can't imagine it would take you longer than a few minutes to remove and reinstall (ignoring the time to paint and dry).

    I would buy one of the mini brush cans of oil-based Rustoleum in Matte/Flat black. Tape it off. Use an artist brush.
