roll bar paint/coating options

[RMB]

I am looking for some options for paint/texture for my roll bar. I am going to to Herculine my floor and I do not want the roll bar to have the same texture. I am looking for something smooth and durable. Did consider powder coating but looking to save some $$. It is in good condition. I looked into a enamal spray paint.

Thanx!

Are you looking for rattle can or do you have a gun? Any specific color (do you need to match the body) or are you going for black?

If your looking for something like Herculiner only smooth try Durabak. Plenty of colors and a smooth finish.

Black and would like to use a rattle can.
Thanx

I have used the Eastwood Extreme chassis black paint before on high stress and wear items. It's expensive but it is damn tough. It is very resistant to chipping and wear (it's chassis paint), UV resistant and it's epoxy.

Also, if you need to use a rattle can but can't find the correct paint, Eastwood also sells a pretty good little rechargeable aerosol type paint gun. -->> http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=14355&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C607%2C1550&KickerID=516&KICKER


Pete, that Durabak looks interesting. I guess you have the option of not adding the grit?

 

[Petescj]

Yeah you dont have to add it. I was interested in it at the time due to the larger color selection.

Thanks again. I will give the Eastwood a try. Being in Fl I am looking for something that does not fade.

Look at rustoleum appliance epoxy paint.
It's hard tuff stuff, I've used it on a jeep frame and it held up.
But like anything it's in the prep work.

You guy go to a lot of trouble, I just pad mine then wrap it with black electrical tape, cheep, easy, and repairable.

But what do you do when your roll cage is already 3" in diameter. :laugh:

Im taking it that that was a pic from the powder coating place? Cause that hood would look a bit funky on your Cj.

I had one of those and found a two inch roll bar at a swap meet and did the cage over.
