Redo powder coating on bull bars

[toyotafan]

You know ... I've looked for a scientific study on powder coating vs spray-on paint and I can't find a study.

Plus ... will break down if exposed to UV? meaning the sun? Maybe that softened the top of it and when you stood on it the coating came off.

I couldn’t locate DuPont Imron paint so I’m going with 2X Flat Black Rust-Oleum. I’ll take before and after shots when done. Just need to get some time between all the other stuff to do.

It will work and look good also !!

Well, here’s the process. Off and ready for prep and paint.
Painting done and cured. Ready for reinstall.

Before installed, then back on. I think it looks bare. Wife likes it without the bar.



All done. I think it came out fine, although I wonder how gloss vs flat black would have looked. Bull bar on vs off???
