Balzer
and Mean Girl *truck*
So the other day I took truck through an auto car wash, you know those ones with the super nucular hair dryer at the end.
Well the dryer kinda blew the chrome rocker crap off my driver door a little bit and exposed what I had already feared. RUST and destroyed paint!
I have wanted to get rid of the stupid chrome rockers anyway and bedline the rockers up to the first body line.
Rhino liners quoted me $1200-$1400 do fix the rockers line them and line the bed. Just too damn much in my oppinion.
So my plan is to take the rockers off, sand to bare metal, and use rattle can self etching primer, then most likely doing one of the DIY bed liners such as als liner or monstaliner. Is this a good plan? Is rattle can primer going to hold up under the bedliner?
I have done a few quick fixes with rattle cans but honestly I dont know how well they have held up over the years because I have sold or traded those vehicles off. I dont want to spend a ton at a body shop but would like to do the best a DIY guy can do, something that will last more than a year.
Please help me out with some advice, sugestions and oppinions.
