Looking for a recommendation for the Sacramento CA area. I’ve tried with no luck to reach Line-X in Woodland and the Rancho Cordova shop is closed due to a fire. I need to have my rock sliders painted and was deciding between powder coating and bed liner. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
On my hard used parts like sliders and bumpers I started using Krylon Truck Bedliner in a rattle can.

It's easy to touch up when needed and you can control how fine of a finsh it gives.
 
Powder coating is really nice and durable until you use your rock sliders as rock sliders. It holds up a bit better than paint but will end up scratched off by rocks and can't be touched up easily. Going the route of DIY bedliner like mentioned above is a better option if you think you'll be needing to touch things up.
