    My first post. I’m purchasing a Lil B’s hybrid and wanted to get some options on painting vs powder coating. Thank you in advance.

    Powder coating is cheaper, and more practical unless you don’t plan on off-roading.

    $325 was the quote I got. Which sounds reasonable. How is hard is it to touch up powder coating?

    Welcome from Wisconsin! Powder coating... more durable. Don't know how hard it is to "touch up".

    Bedliner is another good option. Cheap, durable and easy to touch up.

    I got this same bumper. I paid $150 to have it powder coated. Came out looking good as well. I can’t tell where you are located on your profile but I did mine in Arizona. If you are there let me know and I will send you the company details.
