I got my benchmark evap skid, finally. It's just bare metal so I'm assuming it would be a good idea to hit it with some paint or line-x. I'm fairly new to painting metal. I'm assuming a need to sand it before hand but with what grit and is there different metal sand paper? I dunno do I never need to paint it at all? Whatya think

Edit: ha! I spelled skid wrong. Stupid phone.

 

I just cleaned mine up and hit it with some epoxy primer and then put a couple of coats of black on it and it has worked out o.k. I have no doubt I will have to touch it up from time to time, but would not want to put it in without painting or some type of protection to stop the rust.

 

I used duplicolor bedliner in a spray can..no fuss, easy and quick.

 

Same here, except was rustoleum

 

Ha! Ok do I need to sand first or clean n spray?

 

Sounds good thx for the help

 

No wonder he dropped the price. I got mine a year and half ago for about $100, I think. However it came painted or powder coated.

 

Apparently paint costs 25 bucks :p

 

I'm currently painting mine with duplicolor bedliner. I hit it first with a brush to clean it up and the bedliner is taking just fine.
