Default Shrockworks sliders Textured or smooth?!?

I Want to order these, but don't know which paint to order. Can people post pics and give feed back on what they have ordered and if they like it or not?

Personally I like the looks of the textured. However, if you use them like their intended and ride along some rocks, they are most likely easier touched up if they were smooth.

I installed my Shrockworks sliders this last weekend and will post pix as soon as the JK PIx site is back up... I have black, not textured.

And when you get ready to install, message me and I'll give you some insight...

I got textured and they look great, plus it matches my bumpers.

Too late/dark to take a photo of them right now, but if no one else has by tomorrow (and the forums are up and running), I'll take photos in the morning and post them.

I don't think it'll make a difference. You can get spray paint that has the texture. It's not a radical amount of texture or anything. This isn't the most interesting picture of the rails, but it shows the texture the best. One reason I like the textured finish is, because it matches the stock things like the fenders and bumpers.

VERY nice... You're right, the texture isn't too extreme... I was expecting more. With that amount of texture, I don't think you'd have any problem w/touch ups... and as you said, you can get paint w/texture in it.
