Yup, you want to get the clear coat off.

I hear ya. Once I get the chrome ones installed this spring, I think I will paint the OEM sliders gloss black and sell them on ebay or craigslist. There is not much of a demand for the OEM sliders in stock form.

Had to put another coat on this morning. Last coat of paint was not thick enough in a few spots to get a smooth gloss.
