Change of plans...I decided to go with powdercoat. A local shop can have them ready for me by the end of week and the price was right. I'll post pics once I get them.

Powder coat is fine and dandy for a soccer mom, mall crawler like me... but those DIY'ers might want to look at Rust Destroyer, available at home depot. It's a primer that I've been using for some time. Expensive, but the only thing I've found to hold up in a marine environment. It's not quite as perfect as they claim, but it's far and above what the other guys sell... or at least as far as I could find.

As already mentioned, powder coat can be a waste on the "lower" stuff for those that wheel. Since we have magchlo here in winters, I like to keep all of my trail carnage touched up. Rust-Oleum Automotive 15-oz. Truck Bed Coating Black Spray Paint-248914 at The Home Depot matches LOD and Rock Hard 4x4 powder coated bumpers/sliders very well and I've pretty much adopted it for the other "black" areas.

I purchased a 50-inch Rigid Industries light bar along with the Poison Spyder A-pillar mounts for Christmas. These mounts come as bare metal so now I need to either paint or powder coat the them. The mounts will be black and I'm leaning toward painting them so that I can easily touch them up later if they get scratched up on the trail. I've never painted metal before so I want to make sure I do this right.
Any suggestions on what primer / paint to use?

Mine are the Poison Spider mounts also, however I am using a VisionX bar.
