How to choose that option?

Their website only lists dimple plate ($300), DOM tubing ($60), and weld it yourself (-$300), as options.

https://hotmetalfab.com/products/2019-ford-ranger-rock-sliders

from their FAQ

Q: Do the sliders come painted or powder coated?
A: No, all of our non-specific slider products come bare metal, as they will all need to be welded on even if the main slider is welded together by us. However, our bolt on slider selection can be powder coated satin black for an additional 300$. Please contact us if you would like your bolt-on rock sliders to be powder coated.

The only Ranger sliders they offer on their site, which I linked to, are bolt on. And there's no option for finishing.

So every option can be chosen at purchase point online, with the exception of powdercoating? You have to call somebody to get it? Odd.

Here's what I got back from the owner about the powder coating option.

"We have an HMF paint guarantee. We guarantee there will be missed spots, and paint runs, we also guarantee they will get damaged in shipping. We're fabricators, not painters."

I got the vibe he really doesn't like to do powder coating...

Just pick up a few cans of Raptor liner, the stuff is awesome and super easy to apply, 2 cans did it for me.

Then farm it out? Google shows 2 powdercoaters within 20 minutes.

Thing is, I'm not a painter either.

Honestly, after hearing a response like that, probably not the folks I'd do business with. I don't care if he's Michelangelo with a welder.
