Took off KC bar for fixing. come take a look.(56K umm ya about that)
ok this weekend thing was take my rusting KC roof bar off and recoat it with the stuff i used on my brush gaurd. to much salt here and everything bloody rusts to fast. so time to make it new agian also i never did like my wiring job i did it in a rush when it was getting cold out last year.
here is the product i use all the time is a spray on bed liner the works wonders and is very durable.
ok here is some shots of it finished, after about 1 day of grinding to get it back to workable metal, and coating
here is the 4 holes that i personally drilled into it when i got it to run the wire loom into because there isnt any holes from KC so i made my own back when i got it
my buddy grant that was giving me a hand gets a little excited around stainless steel
here is showing how some of the bar goes togeather, for people that dont know
finally with it back on the truck. man 3 days with out it, makes me really hate my truck with out it
and here is pics of the truck if ya'll forgot

I was wondering....I would love to use this stuff on my safari bar and my hitch. What would be your opinion on How well that Truck bed liner stuff would stick to the powder coat. or do you think I would need to prime the bar in some way. let me know what you think and also. How many cans of that stuff did you use on your light bar?
Thanks

BOTH had powder coating. also did it on my dads trailer hitch before we installed it. what you want to do is take a grinder and grind off all the rust. then take like a orbital sander and stand down all the paint to rough it up. like 300grit 200 or so work good. then use a good paint prep like Pre-cleano that removes all the dust and wax/silicoen on the paint or what not. then hang up the part or what not. then start spraying work in LIGHT coats not thick. let dry for like 10-15 min then put another light coat. on my front bar has 2 cans my kc bar has 2 cans. everything is holding up good my dads hitch has 2 cans also on it and his hitch still looks like brand new! i love this stuff. let it dry ATLEAST a day and a half before re-install. and DO NOT use it if its really humid out the stuff acks funny. hell i did my KC bar 1 can on friday then went to work then on sat morning i put the secound can on. have fun and enjoy...
