I'm getting a set of LOD Rock Sliders (bare steel). I plan on bedlining them. But here is my problem. Do I bed line them with a professional job like Line X and have a nice finish. Or rattle can it with Duplicolor or Rustoleum so touch up will be easy and in-expensive. I mean, it is a set of Rock Rails. There's gonna be contact with rocks.
I guess what I'm asking is will Line X hold up to abuse scrapping over rocks? Because if it don't, I'll go with the rattle can, so touch up jobs match in texture and color, Instead of paying Line X to do it every so often.

 

I just spray canned mine. Two coats of primer, then three of the bedliner. I took my time over several days and was surprised how well it came out.

 

Any pictures?

 

I got my first dad's bumper bare steel and did just as stated above.... Primed it good then I sprayed it with duplicator bed armor....

It's a self leveling spray! No runs, no mess!

 

Well if you use them then paint them,if not bedline them

 

Yeah my vote goes to DIY so you can touch up easily

 

Rustoleum bedliner has worked really well for me and touch ups are not noticible

 

This is actually what I used on my sliders as a "cover coat" to fix scratches and such..... Stuff works great

 

Might be a bit much for what your doing, but wouldn't hurt to look at MONSTALINER.........just like ice cream 39 flavors to choose from. Just as strong as Line X but better than using a spray can.

 

Has anyone actually hit/scrapped/smashed their bedlined rails on rocks? Does it hold up? Or does it go back to the steel?
