Isn't that the way it always works though? Beautifully clear skies till you turn the hose on? then here comes the clouds.....

It has crossed my mind, but it would look stupid with the sport bumper...

unless I got it in white...

Still need to fix the rust spots first though. Can't just put bedliner over it without removing the rust and sealing it or it will just rust through. The passenger door has the worst of it. Drivers door is starting and the fender wells all starting as well with missing paint due to rocks off the tires hitting them...

It's sad that my old *** 1987 S10 has less rust than my 2000 Dodge...And the only rust on the S10 was caused by the douche bag in a 3rd gen ram that rear ended me and pushed my S10 in the ditch. So the rear bumper and tailgate are the only real spots showing anything...and like a tiny little spot or two on the fenders where rocks have hit it from flinging off other cars on the freeway...

Maybe you could mask some cool turn like thing on it. I see it but I don't know what to call it.
