I need to remove the powder coat on my rocksliders, it is old and peeling. I am planning to recoat my sliders with a roll-on bedliner like Herculiner. So I am looking for any ideas that will help me get the remaining powdercoating off. Ohh and if you have any other suggestions of a cheap coating for the sliders.

Thanks

I use an angle grinder w/ a cup brush. Works great

Herculiner and such will add huge friction drag versus a good paint job. Don't you want to slide over instead of hang up on those obstacles?

I agree with Mac...Personally I'd juist take the powder of and give it a few good coats of paint. When you go out and slide on it you'll scratch it off, but then you'll just have to touch it up. REmember, you'll mostly be touching the bottom of the rails with rocks, so it'll be tougher to tell you touched it up.

I used spray bedliner on my bumpers/ rails/crossmember/etc. its pretty tough, and really easy to touch up. also has some non slip qaulities. My interior is all herculined. its more difficult to touch up. good luck
