So on the 5" rough country lift kit I bought, it had a differential skid plate, and a torsion bar drop kit which I am going to paint red (the same color of my truck). I want to know if there is a "scuff resistant" paint. I am thinking about rustoleum, but I just wanted some other people opinions, please note after my dad trying to do some projects with krylon, I hate that spray paint.

 

powder coat or red bedliner is the 2 best options I can think of. Spray paint no matter how well prepped wont really have the scuff resistance your looking for

 

Hmm, I might try the bed liner, my dad has some left from his bronco, so I'll do that tonight and let you guys know how it goes, thanks for the idea 02_Black_On_white.

 

good luck let us know how it goes!

 

Quick update, I did not like the brushed look of the brush on bed liner, so now I am trying the spray on stuff.

 

if it helps any I had good luck with the texture of 3M bedliner spray, its probably one of the least textured ones I've found.

 

I've found some red plastidip, I've heard of people covering their cars in this stuff, would this be a good thing to use?

 

didn't even think of plasti dip! I have it on my front and rear bumpers, been off roading, power washed it... The works, no chipping, pealing, anything. The first week it will be soft so try to lay off the heavy power washing and mudding. prep is everything with this stuff if if doesn't stick to every little spot it will start to bubble and you'll have to peal it off and start over. I'm not sure how you'll like it under your truck if you plan on doing hard core off roading. I hunt in mine and thats about it.

 

Lol, I don't do any offroading, I just like cool trucks. I have a week before the kit gets installed, so I sprayed some plastidip on it, can I spray paint over it to make it shiny?

 

Yes there is plasti dip clear coat! Dont try to use regular clear haha, it will be right next to where you find plasti dip its called "glossifier" spray it super heavy to the point where its about to drip but doesn't, if not it wont have the shine your looking for!
