Hey guys, I bought my oem rock sliders used a while ago and the paint was faded and it has a little rust on it, and it was missing a few bolts. I was wondering what size are the bolts for the rock sliders, and what kind of paint should I use to re paint them, what color would match the best and hold up the best. Thanks!

No idea on the bolt size, but I'd go with rattle can bedliner. Good tough stuff, a bit grippy if you want to use it as a step, and easy to touch up when you bang them up again. Just clean them up first and maybe use some rust converter where the rust is.

I will have to check the actual size, thread pitch, and length.

I use rustoleoum black on mine. Close enough for me as I end up needing to retouch after an offroad rock venture anyway. Each fall I prime and paint most of my underbody (brush) and any scratches/rust on the rocker rails gets updated as well. There is a grey/black color that is a near perfect match but it is hard for me to find. I use a flat/satin black rustoleoum but it is not a direct match - unless you paint the whole rail ;-}

I have a related question. I also have OEM rock sliders. Will they support the H3 if jacked up on one side with a high lift jack?
They sure will!
