Was it expensive to get done?

My 08 has this too, I flooded touch up paint over it but I was wondering if an aftermarket fuel door unit would cover it?... Don't they have a trim piece to cover it??

Yes it was. 650$ including the 4x4 sticker. but i wanted it to be good for the restbof the trucks life. They salt the roads like crazy here so if its not done right it will rust right away. Just checked it this morning still looks new. Btw they cleared coated and painted the hole left side of the bed. I know this cause of a deep scratch that was at the rear near the tail light is gone. So I guess they must have sanded it down... I dont know not a body guy at all hence another reason to get it done lol.

Ya I know like I said pricey. But thats actually the rate around here. But looking back it was worth it since it still looks great after two years of salt abuse.
