Mine arrive tomorrow! Cannot wait to get these painted and installed...
Placed my order last night (raw sliders)! Anyone have paint recommendations??
I’ve been wondering this myself.
Mine just showed up today at the shop, what a great deal! Thanks Metal Tech!!!
@LandForce1 when did you order? I'm gauging turn around (which I know differs) time for which location to ship mine.
I just caved and bought a set of raw steel sliders for the 100.
Last Thursday May 2nd, I'm located in Tacoma Wa. Just north of them.@LandForce1 when did you order? I'm gauging turn around (which I know differs) time for which location to ship mine.
Woohoo! Great news everyone.
Mine were delivered today, too. Now I need to paint them.
Ordered mine last Tuesday and they arrived this morning. Ups lost the box with the hardware so mark will be sending a replacement box. Bought some self etching primer from big box store and then will use my leftover duplicolor bedliner over that.
Mine arrived today! Thanks Metal-Tech for doing this group buy. What a deal!
Mine are scheduled to arrive Monday. Looking forward to my wife's complaints to shift from no step to spending too much money on the land cruiser.
Guys, if you really want to paint it and have it rust proof, sand it down with some rough sand paper, like 120 grid at the finest, these are sliders they don't need to be smooth. Clean it well with rubbing alcohol, and then coat it with POR15, a couple coats if you have time, when that dries, it's hard as a rock. Let it sit for a day to fully cure, then sand that down a little then rattle can your favorite finish and clear coat it. That should keep the rust off until you grind them over a rock.
How about brake cleaner vs alcohol?
Yep, that oughta work as well, basically any degreaser, cleaner will do. Sometimes manufacture will coat the metal with some form of oil or coating to keep it from rusting in storage, you want to get all of that off so the paint will stick.
Great advice!!! I had previously bought a six pack of 4 ounce cans of Por-15 along with their metal prep spray. Tonight I first degreased them with brake cleaner, once dry I sanded them by hand (maybe 5 minutes per slider) with an orbital sanding disk wrapped over a sanding sponge, then I hit them with another blast of brake cleaner to remove the sanding debris. When that evaporated I doused the sliders with the por-15 metal prep spray and let it sit for 15 minutes. After the spray sat, I hosed the sliders off with water and let them dry "bone dry" in the sun. I was able to do a single coat application entirely to both sliders with 1 single 4 ounce can of por-15 using a cheap 1.5" brush.
