Default ABS Rocker Panels to cover the door rot? (Stampede or another brand)

Anyone ever use Stampede Rocker Panels? I see they come in black ABS. I can't find an image of them in black, the camo image is all over the place. I guess since they are paintable I could paint them. I just would like to know if anyone has used/seen them, I want to know if i can grind off the rust and rust proof the door then cover the mess up with this ABS rocker panel?

here is the camo image...

bump?

Does using the bedliner on the rockers cover up imperfections?

If you have a relatively flat surface, yes.

Spray on bedliner isn't going to function like Bondo, but it's more forgiving than paint.
