Looks great, I have that same rear qtr panel ding from a tweaked stock bumper during a tight, 5 point, off road u-turn in a canyon. Then again, it's not been an easy life for the off road bumper either.

I don't see much rust forming on your bare sheet metal either.

Did you use a spray paint can of Wedgwood blue?

315 70 17. Had to trim front inner fender liner by firewall. Especially with 2.5" spacers. Rubbed on the leaf springs at full lock without spacers.

Yours doesn't look too bad. Yep can of spray from AutoZone. Primer stayed pretty strong.

I used the engine degreaser and gloss spray from Autozone. I believe Gunk is the brand name.

Put plastic bags over all electrical including alternator, let degreaser sit for a while and sprayed off with hose. Very hot day so it all evaporated quickly. Then sprayed in gloss. Been looking just that clean for months now! Did the same on my wife's Escalade and it looks brand new!
