running board prep
I just brought some new running boards which has black powder coating on them; what are the reccomended preparation process for painting. Sand and paint or strip off prime, then paint. I was also planning on putting rhino linning on the boards instead of painting then has anyone else done this.
Thanks for any info

Just my thoughts and I have certainly been wrong before. Good luck.

Are you sure the coating is actual powdercoat? That would be nice from a rust standpoint. I would talk to the Rhino folks (or whatever specific brand you'll be using, they are different). Paint doesn't adhere well to most powder-coats, but I would guess Rhino does. I been wrong before tho!

Correction; I dought if its powder coating its the same thing that was on on my fenders when I purchased them I guess it a primer to keep them from rusting until they are pained.
