Default Bedlined rocker panels

I am looking for anybody who has used a spray on bed liner to spray their rocker panels to protect from rusting out. Curious to see how it looks in contrast to the colors of the different trucks. And also the price that was paid to have them sprayed.

Thanks!

I charge 650$ to do it depending on box and cab configuration.

No going over wheel wells at that price either.

Also it won't prevent rust if it rots from the inside out and the price is through the roof to take the box off and actually do inside and out.

Here is a pic of my Oxford White Ranger. The paint on my rockers was starting to flake and chip so something had to be done. I loved the way it came out - white may not be your thing but I plan on doing my '13 F150 XLT the same as the dollars allow. I paid about $450 for the little truck.

I think it looks good on trucks but its spendy.

If you do decide to do it make sure the liner they are spraying is resistant to fading.

It would be done on a 4 door so it does have more real estate. I am looking for ideas on how to protect from the truck rusting out since I live in the great midwest where we get lots of rust.

I spent a lot of money at line-x soon after buying my truck. I had the rockers and flare part of the fenders sprayed with the color match that has UV resist in it. I also had the rear wheel wells sprayed thick and a light duty bed liner (cap always on). Total bill came to just over $2,000 including taxes.

I know that prices are a bit high here in Winnipeg but I didn't have a choice.


I drive a lot of gravel roads and we use a lot of sand and salt in the winter. I am very happy with the line-x and it also washes pretty nice too.

Also keep in mind that I have about 200lbs of coating on the truck, so if you need all of your payload that is something to consider.

I did it with roll on Herculiner on my SuperDuty and it turned out great. I think I spent $150 and had quite a bit left over. Be sure to let it become almost dry to the touch between coats or it will get runs.

I've heard about the diy herculiner stuff. How well does it hold up?

How is it holding up to the salt and snow?
