So now for the big question... Spend the money on Powder Coat, or do a good rattlecan job for easy repairs....?
On another note. I'm very pleased with how well these are put together. Most of the welds are damn good and the less than damn good are still pretty good.

Powder coat would look nice and last, but not easy to touch up. I'd lean towards SteelIt, it's expensive but covers better than any spray can I've used, looks great and can be touched up.

I actually painted mine the color of my Jeep because I like that look better. On that note it also made my hood that I had painted several years ago look realllly sun faded.

I couldn't resist the temptation. Can't do anything with them for now. But I had to see them! You got the Aluminum ones right?

Ya I don't even want to think of how it would be if I paint matched them to the stock color. The scratches and fading would become extremely obvious.

How many cans would I need for this? Because that stuff is very pricey.

Does it have more of a Matte or Gloss finish (I Hate glossy finishes.)

I believe it's Matte, there's a thread about it on here somewhere with pics.

Anyone used Steel-It?
Thinking about using this for my upcoming frame and cage build, looks like a great product... but it's not cheap. https://www.steel-it.com/ "In business since 1974, STEEL-IT® brand coatings from Stainless Steel Coatings Inc., which are applied just like paint, contain custom-engineered 316L...

I know this looks similar to the last update, but it's a big step forward with figuring out how everything is going to fit. I had to run a longer upper link than it had before, due to the location of my upper link mount and since I finally had a welder again, I was able to tack in the threaded...

I think I'm gonna try the Steel-it the Greg mentioned and see how that pans out. If it doesn't than I'll probably go to the powder coat.
I did think about the Bed Liner before and was unsure about how well it would look.
I have a few quarts of tintable raptor liner and harder with some dark gray metallic color you’re welcome to have for free if you want it. You can reduce it with a urethane reducer and spray it out of an HVLP for a much smoother finish. In fact, I have a spray gun with a 2.8 tip. That’s perfect for that you could borrow too. But if you go that route, you’re definitely going to want to use a self etching primer first.

I may take you up on that!
I've already ordered the Steel-it and am curious enough to want to try it. Especially for the fender Brackets. Though it might be cool to Steel-it the Brackets and Raptor line the Fenders...
