What Are Your Sliders Coated With?

I used a 1/4” nap weenie roller for the latest application of Raptor liner. Used it everywhere except the tread plate. Tread plate was Raptor Liner with crushed walnut shells and 3/4” nap on a weenie roller to make it nice and grippy. The 1/4” nap application is very easy to clean. The 3/4” with walnut shells might as well never get cleaned cause you can’t get anything off it. Same bottle of Raptor Liner though, only difference being the nap and shells

 

I used spray can Rustoleum bedliner. I think I also did the primer, the sanding, the wire wheel, the washing, etc. But the big thing is that I laid down that bedliner thicker than yo momma's thunderthighs. It's an ugly job with streaks, but I didn't care. You can barely notice the streaks anyway. But when I put it on, I put it on. I got it in there. And I did it again. And I really did the bottoms a whole lot. I mean, it's probably still more bedliner than slider. If I was going to bedliner it, I was going to do it to the point that I'd have no regerts. I covered that thing up like you'd cover it up with the $5 chick on the street corner in the bad part of town. I laid down the layers, playas.

 

I have the Toyota sliders. They have served me well and have taken some decent hits with no issues. I am able to jack the truck up with them but the paint Toyota used was terrible. Two or three 100 mile trips on dirt and the forward facing surfaces were completely blasted away and began to corrode. Prior to applying wool wax this winter I touched them up with POR 15 but really need to do something more durable this spring.
