I use Rattle can Rustolem bed liner paint from walmart 6.50 a can , this stuff is great sticks to anything darn good and if it scratches ...paint it again .... One thing , Stuff sticks to it and its hard to keep clean . ....and dirt is a pain to scrub out if left too long , you almost have to brush it clean ... I did my nerf bars , undercarriage and wheel wells with it and it looks good but its hard to keep clean ... I thought about doing just the thin strip below the rocker until I found what a PITA the stuff is to keep clean .... .. And if you hunt geese ... It works great for flocking goose decoy heads ..

I use the Rustoleum bed liner spray on a lot of things, but I had my rocker panels and flares done by professionals. It's a LOT tougher than the rattle can stuff. Not even close. (provided it is sprayed on thick enough and properly). 4 flares and the both rocker panels = $500. make sure whoever does the spray for you premixes UV inhibitors in the plastic, or they'll dull pretty quickly.
Here's mine:

I got a friend who used the rattle can stuff, and although it worked great, it looks as though it will chip easy, with these things, prepping and sanding is the most time consuming and hardest part for a DIY'er

Now I just HAVE to get a pic of my truck as it is now. I just installed some Red 3/8" Scotchlite in the body line between the gray and the rocker black.

It's Scotchlite reflective tape. 3/8" wide. A real bugger to find. 1/2" is too wide and 1/4" is to narrow. It offsets the 1/8" red stripe on the hood.
