Painting the Z71

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

I say paint from bumper and I would powdercoat the side bars. Just those things will be getting beat up with stones. So if you paint them then you have to worry about chipping. Powdercoating is a lot thicker.

I think powdercoating is the way I am going to go on my nerf bars since it is more durable than just painting it. The main reason I was contemplating Line-X was because of rocks and debris, but with powdercoat I can still get a gloss finish.

I think if I were raised and not lowered I would do the Line-X for that rugged look.

Plasti dipping the running boards

So after some thought I figured what the hell, lets Plasti the running boards.
Z71 running boards are super easy to remove, 3 15mm bolts on each side and they come right off and the black end pieces just slip off.

there are too many tabs inside the metal board to remove the plastic black footstep so I will tape some of that off and get to town!

Heading to home depot for some plasti dip and will post pics in a bit.
