Started doing my bed liner around the bottom half of my truck. i started with this section first because i had chipped off some paint from wheeling (which you can see from the first pic) right down to the bare metal. wanted to get it painted before the chemicals of the north took its toll on it.

put a good three coats on her.









i got the paint on and got the tape off, it started to peel off the edges of the paint. i had a tough time taking the tape off of the tailgate too when i painted that. but it was too dark to take a picture so it will be up tomorrow.

 

Are you doing behind the rear wheels and on the bottom of the tailgate too?

 

oh yea i just didnt have enough time today and i was worried it would be too cold. i did the bottom of the tailgate a couple months ago to fix a nice scratch i put in it. and figured id continue and go all around. the back corner panels will be tough with the bumper in the way. and i also have that famous dent in the corner that all rangers seem to have lol

 

Are you doing the inside of the door jambs?

 

i did like a inch inside the jams. just on the lower half. also going to do the bottom of the door. its starting to rust really nicely under there. but im going to need a heavier grit sand paper for that.

 

I know what dent you mean... mine has one too! The bumper isn't a big deal to take off to paint behind.

 

haha. its crazy how many rangers have that same dent
ill take a look. my guess is a few rusty bolts to take it off. somehow i gotta punch out the dent otherwise just paint over it and call it a day.

 

So far so good my friend! cant wait to see the final result.

 

What bedliner are you using?

 

its duplicolor armor. i bought of quart of it and just brushed it on. comes out nice. but deff use it wen its warm out. its not curing as nicely as i hoped.

i had a hard time taking pics with the right amount of light.

 

Looks good!

 

thank you. im pretty happy with it!

 

Nice! Looks good!

 

looks good i think ill end up doing it to my blue truck also.

 

nice e-brake cable. looks good

 

Just cut yours in the clear too.
That way the insurance will pay for a new truck and you won't have too

Looks good man. how much sanding did you do for prep? because that may also affect how it cures.
