Default Finally did the rocker panels.

Well after contemplating it for about a month, and gettin a $650 estimate from line-x, i decided to bedline my rocker panels. The kit was $50 from my friends at advance. I saved 600 damn dollars. Turned out great too. Made a couple boo boo's which i have to go back over tommrow, but its not noticble to the untrained eye. I also did the front bumper, and the tailgate black thing and the top of the back bumper.

The mirrors and grille finally match the rest of the truck. the truck has gone through a huge change since i first got it.

That is exactly what I'm going to do. Damn door rust.[:@] Did the one kit have more than enough to do it then? I'm going to go along the same body line and do the entire front and rear bumpers too.

Looks great.

What kind/size are those wheel well mouldings? I think they look great on our trucks.

I appreciate it yall! One kit was enough, it comes with a can that you spray one coat on and then come back and roll it. I bought an extra can so i could do one side with one can. I forget the name of the kit, but i recon the bed will be next. i gotta wait for all these storms to roll out of here first.

Got a prep question, I slid down a hill and "canopenered" my rear quarter with a trailer. Do you think that the stuff would adhere well to bondo?

Also, what about doing the plastics inside the wheel well?

the kit i had came with a spray and a roll on liner. they say to use a coat of the spray first, then come over it with the roll on. i was thinkin about usin the spray on stuff on the insides, but i havent gotten around to it yet. Im sure it would adhere to bondo, because of the first layer of spray on.
