Power running board scratches - options?

[anmut]

2019 Limited with the power running boards. So far these things have been fantastic, although after three years of using them at the boat launch (lots of sand), I've got some spots on the driver side where the black coating has worn through to the aluminum. Any suggestions on how to touch that up with something that'll last for a season or two?

I'm planning to coat ours with bed liner if/when the factory black wears off.

I just paint mine in the spring with Tremclad rust paint in flat black.

Some different companies make nice stick-on pads that kinda look like a cross between a doormat and the material used on wake boards.

i use steel-it for my sliders instead of powdercoating or doing the bedliner spray.

reason being i can just spray it whenever and I don't have to do any sanding or anything after the initial application. the color will blend just fine
also because even if the paint part wears off, its anti-corrosion particles will remain on the metal so I don't have to worry about rust or corrosion.
