what do you guys recommend for painting bumpers/grill guards/axles/steering/suspension parts? im just looking for black but it needs to be super strong paint since its outside getting beat by rocks.

Two words.... Raptor Bedliner........ Powder coating is the toughest of the paints but considering how you use this truck it'll just start chipping..... I'd go black epoxy primer, then black bedliner. At least with a textured bedliner it would be easy to fix as it is destroyed.

Nope, not a big believer in the POR at all. Tamco would be a good deal for considering how much stuff you need to shoot here.....

I was also under the impression POR15 was the way to go. It was actually recommended to me. The guy clearly was not an expert I guess.
