EVO Fender Liner - Paint it Powder Coat

[Samuelh3]

I just received my EVO fender liners and I’m wondering if a rattle can is sufficient or if I should spend the extra money to get them power coated. Any thoughts?

I used Powdercoat on the main pieces. Used factory color matched paint and a hardner on the vents. Came out pretty good I think!!

Your paint code is on the inside of the drivers door. Sherwin Williams automotive is where I got mine made. I bought an automotive paint hardner from them couldn’t tell you the brand.

Neither. Powdercoat sucks. I have completely stopped using powder coat on everything, and have replaced it with LineX. Same price, same prep, 100x tougher, 100x the corrosion protection, ready to use in minutes, comes in colors, etc. Unless you want the glossy smooth look, LineX every time. If you want the budget version, rattle can it for a few bucks at home.

I like the line-x as well but couldn’t get it color matched. Either works I’ll see after a few more trips off the pavement how it holds up.

You mean your place only did black or had trouble matching your paint exactly?

Couldn’t match the Gobi color at all. Tan was the closest they could get. Not a hole lot of difference but noticeable. Tried the rattle can first. Didn’t hold up.

Interesting. My local shop orders their tint kits using the paint code, weird that they couldn't get close.

When I worked for a paint supplier years ago, linex would get paint from us and spray it on the last coat after applying their product. Unless they have changed over the years they were never UV protected. You had to put some coating on it after a while when it would chalk. Imo, powder coat is better never had a problem.

I have them on my 2015 JKU and I left them natural. They look good.

Are they aluminum? If so I think Ddays used sharkskin on his wheels I believe.

Here is a picture of mine. I did not paint or powder coat them. This is what I received from EVO.

Yes they spray a topcoat which shields it from UV, it makes the final product a bit glossier than regular linex, but the black is blacker and the colors pop more with it. I've had my rear bumper done, and it's been great.
