Default Minor Improvement



I decided to repair the chipping and peeling paint from my rockers caused by rocks and gravel. I spent yesterday sanding, removing minor rust, and then spraying with bedliner paint. It looks a lot better in my opinion and my buddy said that when he looked from a distance it gave the illusion that the truck had been lifted when in fact it hasn't.

I did that on my black truck. Loved the added protection.

I thought about over spraying the bed paint white but figured flying rocks would just chip it and I would be back to square one.

Nice job... that's looks good enough that maybe I'll try the same.
