I may remove the light and light bar which was used for the winter work. I really wanna get rid of the rust I have which is why I am most likely going to line the rockers with rubber undercoating/sealant. And then most likely over that with krylon flat black to give it a matte look. If the rockers and fenders were black what would look better black or polished wheels?

4 screws, rubbing alcohol on a paper towel, wipe em down. Tape off ur reverse lights If u want to, then paint. And I did one even coat. 1 hour. And I have TONS more nightshade in my can and IMO my taillights are flawless. No clear coat either. But everybody has their own way to do things.

Wut about rhino liner? I've seen some actual Bedliner on trucks an it is jut Fine. But be sure you research it do it 100% right doing all required tasks of preparation. Cuz I've also seen some pealing off an it looks horrible then. Haha

I get my stuff from the fleet farm here and they don't offer rhino. They have herculiner and rustoleum bed liner.
