Default Sprayed wheel wells?

Has anyone spray painted their wheel wells, and if you have what did you use, and how did it turn out? Also if you have pics would love to see them.

I took my truck to our local Rust Check and I had the works done and they sprayed my Wheel Wells and it turned out great. I am also going to be ordering the Penda Liner rear wheel liners and installing once I get my leveling kit and rear block installed.

I noticed a channel in the rear wheel wells on my truck that tends to hold dirt and sand, it would have to hold salt in cold weather areas.

Why doesn't anyone plasti-dip the front/back along with all the rusty looking suspension pieces?

just a heads up if you use duplicolor bed liner make sure you clean the heck out of the area first and wipe it down w/ degreaser or alcohol before spraying. this crap adheres a little worse than plastidip. I plan to just paint mine flat black then go over it with the matte clear chip guard spray.

Plasti-dip will come off eventually, I prefer to use bedliner or something else that's made not to come off
I cleaned & sprayed everything around the wheels well, differential & anything else until I ran out
Will be doing more in the Spring/Summer
