Rocker panels and wheel wells

I lined and taped off my rocker panels and wheel wells and my step son sprayed them with plasti-dip. Just trying to see if this will help with road rash since I don't have any mud flaps. We sprayed about 4 coats and will come back later with some more coats after this sets up. Looks pretty good to me, I wish they came from the factory like this.

 

looks good! makes the truck look taller also.

 

Looks badass!

 

Looks good, but not sure plasti-dip will offer a whole lot of protection. Maybe some bedliner, or something along those lines might be better IMO.

 

x2^ I did my nephews 1st gen with plastidip in the exact same fashion. It chipped away from rocks, etc.

Bed liner or Line-X or Raptor Liner or whatever would be a better solution.

We replaced it with Duplicolor bed armor and it's held up much better.

I guess it all depends on roads and use too.

Looks badass though!

 

Thanks guys, yea some bedliner might be in the works later on, but just wanted to see what the look would be like, and I think it looks really badass. Thanks again.

 

Looks great!

 

looks good and I love your rims!

 

What size tires are you running?

 

Been thinking of doing this with some bedliner or linex but higher up. Probably up to where the wrinkle finish stops.

Looks good though!

 

Looks good. Now hit those emblems...

 

Tires are 315/75/16's and yes I had to do the cab mount chop.

 

your truck looks awesome! love the bronze and white. i wouldn't worry about the plastidip chipping or peeling, i'd rather it chip than the paint.

i don't think i would put line-x on the side your truck, it always ends up fading and looking bad.

 

That's awesome. Looks great.

 

Looks really good, as others mentioned line-x would offer a lot more protection, but the Dip is good for giving you an idea of what it will look like.

 

Cool. I haven't seen anyone running bigger than 285 on those rims. Even with the cab mount chop I am sure at stuff you still rub all over the place. I can't tell if you trimmed your fenders. Those tires are freaking huge! Are you worried about 315's on a 7.5" wide wheel? I want to go bigger than 285, but I love my wheels.

Back on topic.

Great looking truck. I like the way it looks with the derp on it. Definitely, going to need some bed liner to make it actually protect the rocker panels. This is on my endless to do list.

 

Looks sick! It reminds me of a concept truck at sema

 

Mike, that's a great looking truck. As far as your tires hang out, like Beavis mentioned you might want to go higher with the next coat.
