Need some help

[stuntmanlogan]

Hey guys I just got my box of Raptor liner in the mail and im going to be doing my rocker panels on my obs its a 96. If any of you guys have any tips they would be helpful. If anyone has pictures of theres that they have done with either raptor liner or any other type of bed liner that would be very helpful to see those pictures. Thanks guys.

prep work means everything!! and the cleaner your making job, the cleaner your final product will be.. but, prep means EVERYTHING when doing it..

Thanks buddy. Also I was wondering how high you guys would paint up, I have the black moldings still on the truck I was thinking about taking them off and painting to that body line. Or would you go higher?

 

[noremac]

the only ones that i have seen done, left the molding on, and did to the bottom of it...



i did a search on google for line-x rocker panels, and came up with this set of color matched rocker panel jobs... on nbs's though...

Yeah ive never done any type of painting on my truck so hopefully it turns out alright. Im doing it cause ive got some rust bubbles on the cab corner and rock chips behind the rear wheels.

 

[noremac]

definitely get rid of all the rust before applying it.. because, all you will be doing otherwise is adding a bandaide to the rot. it will still continue to rust if you dont stop it now.

yeah totally man. my cab corners on that truck are sheetmetal thats formed really close coated on both sides. the nice thing about that thick stuff is being able to hide flaws easily. there are a few areas that were not preped as well as others where rust is coming through. so you have been warned, prep the **** out of it man!

Prep the paint like a **** man. Tape off where you are going to line it, then prep it.
I went to the top of the body line with mine, but thats just the way i wanted it.
