I've been asking around alot and I'm trying to decide which is better for my bumpers. I got some new ones coming in raw steel and wanna cover them as soon a possible so I can put em on. Any suggestions?

 

can of krylon primer + can of krylon semi-gloss black.

I just like it because its cheap, and easy to touch up. I would never powdercoat anything if its intended to take hits and protect your vehicle.

Never liked the look of bedliner on exterior body parts either.

 

I have never had a good can of krylon paint. I always use rustoelum.

 

and every rustoleum can I use gets clogged when it is 3/4 full lol. Never had an issue with krylon here.

 

the rattle can spray on bedliner that they sale at walmart is pretty strong, looks good (IMO), and at ~$8 a can, it is cheap and easy to touch up if needed.

 

I have had several offroad bumpers powder coated and its good but hard to touch up. To be honest the best coating for the money is good quality Engine Paint. The last one I built I went that way and wish I had done the previous ones. It's also probably the best paint from a can for wheels too.

 

I'm having good luck with Valspar tractor and implement paint on my axles. available at tractor supply co.

 

The engine paint goes on a lot like Valspar but it seems to have a thicker and more durable finish and dirt and grime doesn't seem to stain either

 

Well then lol... I should have used something like that tractor paint on my D30 when i did my swap.

 

No long term results yet, but I used it on my one tons about a year ago and it still looks great minus the parts that smashed into rocks.

 

Do spray on bed liner... dude... stuff is tough as nails and looks sweet. I love the stuff man... you wont be sorry.

 

I would also get bedliner. I did the rustoleum bedliner spray on my tube rear bumper. I reveresed into a large dumpster and no damage to bumper or paint just a lot take paint on it from dumpster. It is very tough.

 

team krylon... cheap little to no prep variety of colors looks excellent and easy to touch up never lets me down and if you put a lot of coats its pretty durable

 

Rhino liner

 

hurculiner!!! kit is $80 at Vato Zone and you get a big can, more than enough to do what you wanna do
