Did some work today. Trying to avoid bed lining these sliders so I used rustoleum hammered black. I really liked the way their hammered silver went on so easily on my Diff covers, so I figured I'd try it out on my sliders.
Cleaned them off with mineral spirits, sanded them with 80 grit sandpaper, another thorough wipe down with mineral spirits, and screwed them onto my work bench. 3 coats of primer and 4 coats of paint. They're still wet my basement is unfinished so excuse the mess. (looks like bubbles in the paint, it's just a few rough spots on the metal, managed to get these painted sans runs and bubbles.)
One slider down, going to let it dry overnight and paint the other one tomorrow. Skins also came in today. Haven't taken them out of the box. (massive box btw)
