Paint them, so much easier to touch up if you really use them!

Rattle bomb them, especially if you plan on using them.

Just got a PSC brwler sprayed with self etching and flat looks great glad I did will save headaches down the road... Going to do the rest of the armor the same way...

I used rattle can bead liner. Works awesome and is pretty tough stuff as long as ya clean the metal of well before applying it. They have different textures of bed line too. Some lays more flat and some has more chunks in it for grip. its nice cause it applies to bare metal and needs no primer, so if you do need to touch it up you wont have to worry about primer.

I like powdercoat, but this is probably not the best item to use it on....once you damage powdercoat, moisture can wick in under the coating....depends a lot on how well they're coated.
Personally, I'd VHT them.....some light etch prime, then hit them with VHT spray cans....the GM Satin Black engine enamel is awesome...it covers great, its reasonably tough and its an easy touch up. VHT also do a "Small Engine Case" flat black, which is for painting motorcycle engine cases etc...pretty tough stuff. If you like the wrinkle finish style, use VHT wrinkle black....but apply to a warm item, and use a heat gun on low to bring out the wrinkle finish in a consistent manner.....without the heat gun, I've found the wrinkle paint to be very patchy in how it turns out.

Rattle can all day. If you bought those sliders to use them then they're gonna get beat up. No point in spending a ton of money on a paint job that's going to be ground against rocks.

I use rustoleum hammered black. Goes on evenly and is easy to touch up.

I say rattle can as well. I did rustoleum satin black and it has worked great. As others have mentioned, this is one of those things that will need touch ups if you wheel it. I would skip powder coating if it were me, just not worth it in my opinion and then trying to touch it up with spray paint. I did my bumpers and sliders in satin black, and just keep a few extra cans in the garage for when I need touch ups.

Decided on getting them power coated here is how they turned out !

The body shop that's welding them on asked me to find out exacly where should they be welded!?

I know I wanna weld them as low as I can on the frame. But how forward/back should it go ?

 

[BlackHawk08jk]

Place the front arm 3 and 3/4 inches from the body mount

and the rest arm 1 inch from the body mount. ( that's the backside of the body mount on both)
This is what you will end up with. Mine are also 1/2 inch down from the pinch seem on the body. Hope that helps.
