I’ll probably be replacing my front bumper soon, and if I get a used one I’ll want to repaint it. This got me to thinking about refinishing the racks. I’ve seen a few posts about using bed liner for a tougher finish.

If you used bed liner, what did you use? Professional or DIY? If DIY was it spray, rattle can, or brush on? How is it holding up?

I guess I have the same questions if you used paint?

I know powder coat is tough and has good abrasion resistance, but once it starts coming off it’s time to start over. I’d rather have a paint or liner than can be repaired/resprayed pretty easily.
