I need to repaint my bumper/brush guard and rocker's this spring as the paint on them definatly gave in to rust. What is a good paint to use? And where can I get it, I have a compressor with spray gun available to me if need be. Sanding them down is going to be a PITA.

i am by no means an expert in this field. however i did my nerf bars last year in march. and i sanded them all down lots of rust but no rot. sanded off all the rust down to metal by hand. it stunk but worth it. then i used rustoleum flat black in spray cans. 3-4 coates. its not the quickest to dry, but it's worth it because its almost been a year and they still look the same. and no signs of rust at all. however no normal paint will protect from scratches as well as powder coating. but thats expensive. just my 2 cents. i picked up the sand paper and spray cans of rustoleum at walmart. just incase you were wondering.

ive done this a few times for people, first remove rust use a grinder wheel with sanding discs for speed, you dont have to remove all the paint just scuff it up with 3m pads or sandpaper, prime it with self etching primer, then use 4-5 coats of trim paint. if you cant find self etching primer use regular primer and scuff it again before painting. it is fastest with a spray gun, though self etching primer is usualy only available in rattle can.

Krylon tough coat. i painted my bumper and winch plate with it, scratches dont got deep into it and it looks real good. i dont know is home depot sells it but i know MSC does you can find them online. and a red oxide primer works best on the bare metal as well as old paint.

Of course I am a rattle can man! I like the rustoleum "cracked hammed finish" I used it on my rockers when I built those. I also used it to detail the frame on my hot rod, it is a un-even black, silver, gray finish that will hide small imperfections plus it is a very durable finish.

I have had good results with a good prep down to bare metal. Then 3 or 4 coats of rustolium primer and 3 or 4 coats of rustolium color of your choice.

If you are worried about rust due to scratches/scrapes occuring on the trail, then why not rhino-line it?

Worst part about it is its not trail scratches, its the snow plow throwing rocksalt into it from 1 ft away on the city street making it rust.

wierd no rust on mine except the couple spots that I have slide over rocks, and even then i just sand it back down to metal and hit it with some more paint! can't tell how many times they have been touched up.

I think that 40 mile tow to my house didnt do any good for the paint either. I still have stuff stuck on my strap from it.

I did 2 coats of POR-15, then about 4 coats of rattlecan Krylon Textured Flat Black on top of that. I figured it would be easy enough to touch them up if i ever got any major scratches.

most spray paints will scratch and flake especially in the woods and the wipits. if you have acces to a piant sprayer and compressor the best results you'll get is to find a good epoxy primer and use a urithane paint on the epoxy within 5 hours before it cures. thats what i will be doing to my jeep this spring. done it to a few odd and end stuff and it looks great and is scratch proof.

Check out this site. I needed all of the derust prep I could find to paint my 2A. There is more to it than just sanding or wire brushing and priming. Check out Eastwood's products and get rid of the rust forever www.eastwoodco.comGood luck,
