Repaint /powder coat
Good Afternoon

Although our side steps and sump guard are only a year old the powder coat seems to have come off in places,

If I wanted to paint them what's the best stages to go in .

And what paint ?

Or best to be repowder coated? Not sure the expense of this?

Kind regards

Use paint, powder coat just chips and then rusts.

Paint, Corroless S Anti Corrosive Primer followed by Corroless RF16 High Build Glass Reinforced Top Coat. Both available in aerosol or tin if you want to brush , roller or have your own paint gun.

Spray bilt hamber dynax s50 inside sidesteps

It would be best to remove ALL of the Powder Coat and Galvanise the bare steps, then repaint with some decent paint NormanD WE191

I have just re-painted my rock sliders & rear crossmember with Raptor,I know it's not smooth,but it's tough,the rock sliders were previously painted with Hammerite,which is hard,but, chips very easily.

In my opinion the best way would be to get them galvanized, then paint black. Everything I've purchased which has been power coated has had the coating peel off after twelve months. 1983 110 automatic OM606

My rock sliders are galvanised,but being in the firing line from stones the paint gets chipped,not a problem for rust,but the grey colour looks a bit shabby.It's six months since painting with Raptor,including a 10k trip to Morocco,Spain & Portugal,& no chipping. Thumbs Up
