Does it do good repelling mud and other splash up? Reason I ask is that I considered doing that myself, but was concerned that mud mught stick to it more since it is not smooth like the oem fender well finish.

We had some rain here in the last to days.. and going in and out of dirt lanes that are muddy but not super muddy . But with that pic and the rain we had yesterday i have not wash under there at least 2 weeks , if thats any idea ? IMO thats doing better then when i just painted them with the regular black... OH ! i just got an idea ..lol my bed has the roll on and its black of course i wonder if i spray paint over the liner with red ? Hmmm
