dunefreak Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I was thinking of getting some grip tape for my steps. Does anyone use anything besides grip tape to help protect them and keep your feet from slipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thats actually gonna be your best bet I know they make some paint on stuff but not as clean as grip tape or as easy to apply.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have grip tape on mine works very well and you can make sure your not kicking the panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp-guy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 My new rail has them and they are Chrome. I had a foot rest in the yellow rail and I had it sent out and had a rhino-liner company dip it. But since yours is welded to the chassis I guess that is out. Grip tape should work fine and if it comes loose it is a cheap thing to replace. I am sure sand will work its way in and seperate the tape from the metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadracer Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Pete talk to ken his shop does the spray in liners, they should be able to mask a section of them and spray them, my older truck nerf bars i had done that way they turned out clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don29palms Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 That spray on bedliner sounds like it could be a really good idea. The ones on my car are chrome and get quite slippery at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadracer Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 REALLY?? Cool...I might ask him about that tomorrow. I never thought of doing the spray stuff. you know he does.. I think its better than the tape it wont peel off, especially when it gets hot ( all this cold weather we have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 you know he does..

bp-guy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Atleast you guys seem to agree with the spray-in liner. My friends here are hard to convince that my idea was a good one. The guy didn't even want any money because it was such a small job. I saw his boy was selling chocolate bars for his little league so I bought $25 bucks in chocolate and took 1 bar. We both were happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvdunes Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 That was nice of you to support his son, fundraising for your kid sucks and it probably meant more to him for you to buy candy than to pay him for the job since it was so small.

Mine are welded on and incorporated into the frame already.

YamaPimp Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Well then just go with the sprayliner, x-press is in Henderson of course and can match your cars color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGP Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Im sure if he gets a spray on, it will be from Metro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGP Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The texture of the Turboliner Metro uses is almost like grip tape. It has a factory look to it. The nicest stuff out there in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Don't keep us in suspense. What are you going to do? I think I might just cut em off- that'll fix it. Maybe if I buff them, and glue on some grip tape. Whatcha think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Rhino Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 get some elmers glue and some sand get it all gooey (is that a word) and then smear the sand on. whaaalaaaa just might have to re-apply often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
