I also posted this on the 2004-Present forum, so forgive me for the double post. I have an 06 F150 Supercab with a mint set of the chrome factory steps. My truck is silver, and I am thinking that the black ones would look better. I have seen a few posts on painting them. My question is, what have you guys found that is durable. Most of my driving is on the road, but I hunt and fish regularly and want something that can take abuse. Also, some say to paint over the plastic step areas, some say not to, any good reasons either way? I would think it would be easier to paint over them and not have to worry about taping them off, but would it come off really easy? Thanks in advice for the advice in advance.

I would be interested in trading for a set of the stock black steps. I'm in Memphis, if someone around here was interested, that would be great we can swap them in a parking lot real quick, or if someone wanted to pay the freight for thier end, I will for mine, if it isn't too outrageus. Please email me at meeshforty@hotmail.com. Thanks.

 

so far so good on mine painted .... been turkey hunting a few times and had the coated in mud ..still look good ..... if you want to drive to arlington i'll paint them for ya for free .... i sanded mine w/ 600 grit then wiped them down w/ carb medic and painted plastic and all

That turned out well. Nice Job!

 

Very good paint job on the bars Gr8hntr.

 

You're the man! Yours was one of the step sets that I liked the most, Just painting isn't my strong suit. I tried to email you, but it said you didn't want emails and I haven't been around long enough to PM. If you would email me your phone number or something, I'll call you and see what I need to bring. Maybe a few cold ones for payment?!

EM at you.

I believe that they are the OEM steps. They look identical to mine that are the factory ones. Hope that helps.

The steps do look good. We used the Krylon Non Skid Surface paint. It has a good texture to it. Time will tell if the durability will stay. Thanks for all the work gr8hunter. We'll have to do a leveling kit sometime.
