Default Rocker knocker paint?

Looking at getting some ps rocker knockers and I see they come raw. Wondering how most ppl cost or paint them? I liked how the tubes are black and the middle part silver . I don't play on the rocks much but I am planing on some Rousch creek trips. Any advise would be awesome before I decide to buy ..

For the tubes I'd recommend bed liner paint. Much more difficult to scratch then just regular spray paint. For the center I used Le Mans sunset (burnt orange) against the rescue green. Looks great. Just take your time so you get it right the first time cause the center can be a bitch to get out after the bolts rust

agree with the above. Bedliner is really easy to touch up and much more durable than regular paint.
Here is a set I did for a buddy. I used raptor liner and duplicolor perfect match spray paint on the centers

Sorry about the photo , it's the best I have on my phone of the rockers ! , I love the two tone in my opinion ! But I would recommend QUALITY Powdercoating if it's readily available to you ! It will add $ ! But more than worth it ! .... I couldn't see trying to touch these up once mounted ending very well
My .o2 ! !

Did mine at first with primer and paint. Had rust in a few places after first winter. Too them off sanded and primes ten coated with bed liner. Bad winter here so far in Chicago but no signs of rust any where. Go with the bed liner. When installing the inserts don't put then in real tight. The head of the screws will damage the paint on the inserts. They are rock solid.
