Bed Lined rocker panel thread.

WILD_PHIL · Jan 24, 2013

Considering bed lining my rocker panels in a couple of weeks. Lots of different ways to do it, so lets see what you got. Personally I do not think I am going to go over my fender flares, but we will see. Help me out guys.

I've considered this as well. Make sure you get the UV protected line X or it'll go flat.

Where can I buy it? Considered letting it bo flat because I can spray my bumpers and accessories with BBQ paint. But if I can keep it glossy on this truck I will since im going to order new bumpers for it.

You have an idea on how you will do yours? Over the fenders, or just the rocker panel? I think im going to just do the panels but bring it all the way up to the top body line of the panels.

I have color matched al's liner I did on mine I rolled on. It is ok but isn't near as hard as I would like its really rubbery and is peeling pretty good now

We bought a 80 dollar kit from the part store a year or so ago and did my buddys. It stuck good but went a bit flat. Didn't turn grey like some do, but its still on there.

Im thinking of having a company do mine, just so i don't have to spend all that time on prep, plus the warranty with fade.

I had my old truck done, would definitely recommend it!!! Had a local LineX company do it. (Don't mind the key marks lol)

this is my old ranger but i did it myself. i got the spray on kit off ebay and its a legit car base style paint and you can put the rubber stuff in it to give it the rough texture.

I did the bed, and rockers and over the flares. I had 8 hours of hand sanding and prep to get the look. then only maybe 20 min. of spray time

mine had anti fad in it. I have enough to do my super duty next this spring

during:

after:

it never faded but was a b*tch to clean. and it never chipped

I had mine done by a nearby Rhino-Liner Dealer. Lifetime Warranty. It went up and over the wheel wells too. They actually could color-match it to the truck. I saw a blue chevy with it done, looked good.

WILD_PHIL · Jan 25, 2013

How much are yall spending to have it done by a shop?

TooMuch03 · Jan 25, 2013

I want to say it was about $600-$700. I had other stuff done at the time, like touching up a few areas and repairing the typical rust areas under the cab corners, so I am not exactly sure off hand how much just the Rhino-liner cost...

You can't really tell from the pics, but it is on pretty thick.

That looks good, how hard it it to keep clean?

TooMuch03 · Jan 28, 2013

It actually cleans off pretty easily with normal soap and water. There is some cleaner that you can buy that really shines it up nicely.

Check into this product called monstaliner by magnapaint. Its a diy roll on or spray bedliner. Did my 250 and a buddys jeep. Awesome product if prep is followed exact. Very durable. Its available in 20 colors i believe. Its a great product and their customer service is great also. Talked to the president of the company a few times during the jeep build and he was extremely helpful every step of the way.

Sent from the drivers seat.

That stuff looks pretty good, I just wish i had the time to put into the prep. I can do it and would do it myself...but my time is way too short lately.
