i messed up big time

i tried peeling my door trim off, it went fine all the way up to my driver door and it actually peeled the paint.

do any of you guys have pictures of what your truck looks like with rhinoliner on the bottom door area?

I've seen it on a couple trucks and it looked pretty sharp. They were all color-matched, i.e. black liner on a black truck, gold liner on a gold truck, etc.

I know you're in MO and don't have to worry about rust too much but my bed is completely shot rusted through and my doors are starting to rust I was thinking of doing the roll on stuff. Wish I could afford line-x but I can't. Did you sand all the paint off? Do you think ill need to sand the rust down as much as possible its just surface rust so far. I've never done any body work before. Gotta love Wisconsin snow and salt all winter long

No you don't have to sand the paint completely off just a nice scuffing will work. You can sand the surface rust off but make sure you rust treat it first. I got the kit on sale at o'riley's when it was on sale. The kit runs about $80 here.

Address the rust, i.e. sand it off, use some POR-15, etc. but if you just coat over the rust, you'll end up with bedliner as your door, and not metal.

There is spray can bedliner available now too. I just picked up a can a few weeks ago for my fender flares and door bottoms. Too cold to use it yet so no idea how well it coats. It was about $8. Cheaper than the roll on that was available at TSC.

Has anyone tried the roll-on bedliner on the plastic bumper steps or plastic running board covers?

Phil I think some black line-x would look awesome on there since you're going for the red and black look.

I used a rocker panel paint that is textured to paint mine. I used the same thing to paint the floor of my truck because I pulled the carpet out. The only bad thing is that it is not chemical resistant. View my photobucket for more before and after pictures: My Truck :: WithoutFlares.jpg picture by robinsonpowerstroke - Photobucket
