Nice! I did it to my 05 XL and loved it. But I love my 06 lariat wheels too much for a 5 dollar can. Haha.

I like it. How did you go about doing it?

Left them on the truck.
Cleaned them with a degreaser first then washed them with soap and water then wiped them down with isopropyl alcohol.
I cut some trash bags up and covered the rotors before spraying them.

I'm going to do my rocker panels today.

Does it seem like they'll hold up?

Time will tell. Eventually I will get some aftermarket rims.

I think you should get some factory fender flares and paint them like the tan on your rockers. That would look great

That look makes me wish I hadn't sold my stock XLT alloys... That looks extra sharp!

They hold up well as long as you don't nail a curb.
