Default Painting atv racks

I was thinking of using that truck bed liner stuff out of a can and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it or if y'all know anything better than spray paint. Thanks

Seems like it would work, make sure you get a wire brush and scuff it up really good before you paint it.

i built a gun rack and used it on bare metal for 4 wheeler...worked great as well...i'm sure quality is dependant upon how much prep work is performed prior to coating.

I would take the racks off and buff with a wire wheel on a grinder then give a few good coats. Not sure what kind of bike your running but its good to get the racks extended a little bit if you carry passengers. Just more room for then to sit. Any welding shop can do

I used it on a truck tool box and it chipped after a couple of months. I just touch it up now and then. Make sure you rough it up good first.

i used it on on my ATV racks. It doesn't perform like I thought it would. Its not much more durable than paint. I put numerous coats on it, but it flakes off pretty easy. I sanded the frame down with a wire brush and primed it prior to spraying it. The can stuff is just not as durable or thick as the true bedliner spray. If I had to do it over, i would take them to get sandblasted and have them sprayed by a shop. Just my opinion.
