Rock Sliders Are Painted!!!

Though they may not look as good as they would if I had them professionally done, I did save about $130 bucks when it is all said and done. If you have the money, then yes it highly recommend having them powder coat your rock sliders for you. But for those of us on a budget, this DIY to paint your own sliders will save you all some cash! Thank you as always for watching!!!

Damn, my man be living wild! No mask when throwin’ down multiple coats and only raisin’ that garage door 1/2 way

[@russellwebb3523]

Those are going to look sweet Jon. I just order C4 Fabs Sliders and I will be doing the same thing. I got a quote here in town to Powder Coat them and they wanted $165 for both. I was like no thank you. I will be doing what you are doing. Thanks for the video man. Love what you are doing g for DYI people like me.

[@TRDJon]

Of course man!! I may go with satin black to finish it off. It’s a little to flat now that is all dried up

[@tacoma_jon]

You’re killing me Jon. I’ve been eyeballing the Cali raised sliders for a while now for my Tacoma. They look good.

[@TRDJon]

They really are looking good! Can’t wait to see them on

[@CSC1steel]

Boy, this ones just great too

[@MiGGsixoye]

Another great video. Those are going to look SICK on your rig.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks man!!!!!!

[@johnjohnston1573]

It’s gonna look clean can’t wait

[@TRDJon]

Can’t wait either!!

[@310to703]

Very nice job man. Day 1 sub here let me just say your vids keep getting better and better keep the content coming man #toyotaislife

[@TRDJon]

Thank you bro!!! I appreciate the support man!

[@JB-by8tw]

Thanks for another DIY video! The sliders will look great! Can’t wait to see the install video. I ended up ordering SSO’s sliders (flat top plate with kickout, onlycome bare metal) after changing my mind hundreds of time between manufacturer, angled or flat, kickout or no kickout, etc. The only thing that sucks is 8-10 week lead time (ordered them a week ago).

[@TRDJon]

Oh man! That’s pretty far out there! But I’m sure they will be worth it in the end. I almost went with SSO and just went and picked them up.

[@paulf9653]

You'll love the SSO, I know I do. They are only a few minutes from my house but I still had to wait like everyone else. Only good thing is they will powercoat them for pickup.

[@blackackcl]

Sliders are looking great Jon, can't wait to see these installed... maybe.... one day? :P

[@TRDJon]

Hahahaha I know :(

[@luisandluisgabriel6778]

Nice job man.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks man!

[@geminij610]

Nice!!!

[@TRDJon]

Thank you!!

[@LesFishingMoreCatching]

I like using the Rustoleum Rust Reformer to touch up the frame. Hitch area and hitch parts. Then I use the Rustoleum Satin Black to finish it off. I find the flat was too flat and the gloss is too glossy. I put the undercoating on my onewheel fender and it is chipping off now. You want to use something like the Rhino Liner type spray that they use on the spray in bed liners.

[@TRDJon]

I thought this 3m was gonna act like that but it definitely didn’t. I may do the satin black after these 3 coats. Since it’s really dried it does look a tad to flat. So I may get the satin. Thank you!

[@augustus5003]

When it’s all scratched up from being used you’ll eventually have to repaint it anyways why not save money and learn now great point 👍🏻

[@dave1096]

I did the same on my SSO sliders. Powder coating was also way more that 150 from them i believe. I wire wheeled mine, several coats of etching primer then sprayed with a gray hammered finish. Finally I bought a small can of the same and dumped a bag of silica in it then rolled a couple more coats on. Thick and abrasive .....

[@TRDJon]

And when they scratch up, bam easy touch up

[@dave1096]

@@TRDJon and my kids don't slip off them and fall on their heads..

[@TRDJon]

That’s why I really wanted to do the Berliner on too but I didn’t like the way it sprayed when I test sprayed it

[@dave1096]

@@TRDJon same here....rhe roller fixed that

[@lanix17]

Curious how many coats of primer and paint you did?

[@bam5235]

How are the paint holding ? Have you tried VHT high temp can?

[@dangerousbutdoable9638]

So how many cans of spray paint do you actually need per side

[@TheRspct2all]

Let us know if you find a better bedliner type of spray or paint to put on those step plates. I've been doing some research into sliders as well, and the obstacle is painting and adding some nonslip layer. Thanks Jon!

[@TRDJon]

Heard nothing but good with raptor liner. Just super expensive

[@graphguy]

DIY always

[@TRDJon]

Could not agree more

[@graphguy]

Blue TRD Jon I just bought a MIG welder. One of the goals is to see if I can fabricate some of my own MODs, starting with rock sliders.

[@TRDJon]

You definitely can!!! Nothing more gratifying then that

[@bwax1542]

I like DYI, and especially so to save some money in the end. Regarding the $130.00 you are saving, is that the savings after the expenses for your painting supplies? It's gonna look great.

[@TRDJon]

Ish yes. I belibe it’s $150 for the powder coat and about $50 more for the top plates too so I guess $170 ish saved after materials

[@iantru9929]

Can u list all the paint cans that you use b plz. Everything that you use. Injustnorder the raw version cali rock sliders for my taco.

[@TRDJon]

I used rustoleum base primer then it was an ace hardware brand of the rust stop matte black

[@dexteww]

Now you have rock sliders next you need snorkel and bullbars🚜

[@TRDJon]

She needs to be a little higher

[@brianabston4280]

How is the paint holding up? I just finished the SSO slimline and didn’t pay to powder coat. Would you use that paint and setup again?

[@TRDJon]

Super good actually. I'll do an update vid for it.

[@TRDJon]

Many different ways you can go about this...but this was mine. Thanks for watching!!! check out the sliders here: caliraisedled.com/collections/2014-2020-toyota-4runner-rock-sliders/products/2014-2019-4runner-0-degree-bolt-on-step-rock-sliders

[@theswitchbackco3914]

Hey Jon! I’ve been watching your videos for about two months and just found this old one from a google search. Would you mind giving me an update on the finish of your sliders? I’m looking at getting the Cali raised angled sliders and am leaning towards finishing them myself instead of powder coating. I get on the trail often and I don’t know that it’s worth powder coating them just to get scraped up. Have yours taken any damage? How often do you repaint? Thanks man!

[@TRDJon]

Yep! I have and just re sprayed that area and it was solid!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@theswitchbackco3914]

@@TRDJon Thanks!

[@Thatoneguy1452]

How long should I let the primer dry?

[@TRDJon]

I did it until it was just all dry to the touch

[@ront4782]

Are they made for KDSS?

[@TRDJon]

These ones no. I think they make have a KDSS model

[@sikjr3381]

How many cans did you end up using?

[@TRDJon]

I think 2 in total with both. Maybe 3. I can’t remember

[@UncleElroy21]

Looking good! but damn you didnt color match the top plates!

Nah to flashy
