Powder-coated rock sliders offer the rig protection you need to handle the challenges of the trail. Sliders are already built to take some serious hits, but won’t hold up without the right finish. A powder coating creates a durable coating to shield your steel, simplify maintenance, and make sure your sliders look as good as they perform. Learn more about our powder coating process and the Powder Craft difference.
Why Should You Powder Coat Rock Sliders?
Raw steel or rattle-can paint can offer some protection for a while, but you’ve probably already seen how fast they break down when they interact with water, salt, and rock. Our powder coatings create a bonded layer that resists corrosion and trail rash. The results? You enjoy a stronger, longer-lasting finish that’s cleaner-looking than spray paint alone. If you’re serious about your ride and want gear that lasts, investing in an upgrade makes all the difference and enhances the style at the same time.
Risks of Skipping Powder Coatings
Problems quickly pop up when you skip the powder coating rock sliders. It may look rough and tumble, but the paint chips give rust an opportunity to take a strong foothold. Trail rash can also leave bare metal exposed and weaken welds and mounting points. Unfortunately, once corrosion takes hold, you’re now in a never-ending cycle of sanding, repainting with toxic paint, and touching it all up every season. It all takes more time, money and resources than making the investment in a powder coating from the start.
How Our Coating Process Works
The biggest win from a professional powder coating is the meticulous prep and curing process. We safely strip off old paint, rust, grease, and grime from the sliders and make sure every trace of grease is gone. Next, we apply our elastically charged powder for an even steel coating. Your sliders are cured in our high-heat oven, where the powder bonds into a hard, durable shell that lasts. We get the process done right to deflect the impact of moisture, scratches, and UV damage for long-term peace of mind.
Choosing the Right Options for Your Build
One of the advantages of powder coating is the endless range of finishes available. Our team at Powder Craft is proud to offer over 5,000 colors, textures, and finishes to choose from. Here are just some of the options you can choose to add supercharged style to your truck, Jeep, or off-roading vehicle:
- Matte black gives a clean, understated look that hides dirt.
- Textured coatings add grip and disguise scratches.
- Custom colors let you match your body paint or create accents.
No matter which finish you choose, our powder-coated rock sliders are about more than style; they also make your upkeep and maintenance easier while extending the lifespan of your sliders.
When to Recoat Your Sliders
Despite the long-lasting durability of our powder coatings, even the best finish will show signs of wear and tear after years of high-impact use. Deep gouges, fading from sun exposure, or corrosion creeping in around welds are all signs it’s time for a fresh coat. We also offer recoating services to restore protection, keep rust at bay, and reset the clock on your sliders so they’re ready to hit the next trail.
