Rusted Step Bar

[JustMiller25]

Alright soo, my girlfriends silverado came with a chrome step bar when she bought it. Shes had it for a good yr now and the bar is starting to rust. Rather than buying two new ones, is there a way to paint these with some kind of paint tht will last with the issue of constant use? if so what kind how much and where can i get it?

if it's just surface rust it can be fixed and prevented from going through. I'm not sure how. you'll have to call a body shop and see what you can do. they might be able to give you a cleaning agent for it. you might possible after that have to send it out to get rechromed.

I had a friend that had the same problem, he sand blasted all the chrome off and put that spray bedliner on it. That stuff lasts forever. Looked really good too.

Tht sounds good, if i had a sand blaster. and would clearcoat last? to make it shiny do you think? or just keep it tht flat black?

[nugz]

I think they make both...I'll check.
