Anyone used "steel it?"

Just curious of the texture and how its held up. Nothing but positive reviews that I've read but I trust you guys on here more than the reviews.

 

What is it? Is it worth stealing...?

 

Camburg uses it extensively.

 

I saw that. I just wondered if its textured and how it hold up..

 

I have heard good things but have no Personal experience. From the pictures I have seen the texture looks similar to powder coat

 

Bump? I’m curious also. I’m debating on grabbing a can for the cab mount chop location. 31$ a can though so ... anyone

 

We use it on some parts of the race cars. Helps cut down on prep time as bare metal gets rusty after going through the wash in Ensenada. The finish looks good too.

 

Ive been using it for years on stuff. its got a slight texture but its not like bedliner. As for how it holds up? 10x better than paint on suspension stuff ive hit it with. My tacos rear locker cover i did 8 years ago. after multiple winters it still looks like when i painted it


reminds me i need to prep my skidplate for a steelit job this weekend

 

Well I’ll give it a go. We’ll see how well it holds up to New York winters and all the salt they dump on the roads

 

I'm really debating doing this or a primer/ base coat on my new suspension. Winter is coming!

 

Huh. Thanks @Erichudgins, I learn something new every day here. Rave reviews but pricey ($31.42 for 14 oz rattle can). Recommended prep is blasted substrate or 36 grit scratches. Polyurethane with stainless steel flake...it should stick well and be durable.

 

They were sending free 4.5 oz sample cans.

 

Got this done a few weeks ago. I'm hoping it holds up well.

 

How is the Steel-It coating holding up over time?

 

I use it all the time. It's amazing stuff and highly recommend it.

 

Thanks for the reply. If you were to need to touch it up how do you prep the surface? I know the prep on bare steel is incredibly important but I haven't read much on touching up chips or scraped up spots on sliders.

 

I've just scuffed it lightly and resprayed and had no issues.

 

Awesome! Can't wait to try it. Thanks again.

 

No worries! I've done my whole inner fender well/frame rails/suspension etc.

 

Looks fantastic.

 

Pretty badass bump stops you've got there.

...Probably my first time uttering that phrase

 

LOL thanks
