What do yall with black ARBs use to touchup any rust spots? I have some underneath from where it looks like a car drove under my bumper and into part of it and also some on the top.

ARB has a touchup paint available that you should be able to get from an ARB retailer. Mine came with a bottle, but what was left I gave to another club member. Mine gets a complete paint job every couple years.

Don't know about the ARB, but a can of semi-gloss black Rustoleum did a fantastic job on my TJM. If I hadn't oversprayed onto my license plate and the TJM sticker, you wouldn't even know.

I was talking to a local powdercoat shop, they said that they would sandblast and powedercoat it for $75-$100.00. That will be my next project I think, at least then it will be gloss like the rest of my truck, and won't get that oxidated look.

Krylon semi-flat black is a perfect match for the ARB bull bar. Don't waste money on some ARB touch up paint which may be more expensive.

I use a flat black paint pen I got from Hobby Lobby. It holds up great and matches almost perfect.
