line-X rockerpanels

Hey guys,

I have an 08 nissan frontier NISMO. The rockers and bottom of the bed in front of the rear wheel (bottom of the flare, if you have seen one close enough) is getting pretty chipped up. Has anyone tried this approach. I would like to get something on it to protect from future chips, and rust from all that good salt we get on the roads here.

Thanks

A friend of mine did the rockers and flares on his XJ Cherokee. It looks pretty good.

I will be doing this to my Celica. Chuck talked about doing the interior of his Scirocco for rally cross cleanup.

Line X rockers, exteriors, and interiors are very common on 4x4 forums for good reason. Basically some guys use bedliner on anything they possibly can. Are you going to color match or just stick with black?

plan on doing that to the ol'beetle in a little bit (next week)

I did the rockers on my 2wd GMC truck the other day with the rattlecan truck bed liner.Since the truck is black, it looked like I just touched up the paint. No real reason why I wanted to do it, but it looks decent and hopefully it saves on some panel repair in a few years of dealing with these new england winters.

I just did my Sidekick yesterday. I'd bought the Herculiner kit for the interior, but didn't think I'd have enough left for the rockers, so I bought a couple cans of the Duplicolor spray-liner for the rockers.

After spraying the rockers, I didn't really like the look of the Duplicolor stuff. There's no texture to it. I had plenty of Herculiner left, so I rolled some on the rockers & like the look much better, & honestly, it went on much better over the Duplicolor stuff than it did in the interior on the bare steel & OE paint. Makes me wish I'd sprayed the interior first.(The Herculiner instructions said it would work on bare steel, FYI, it just didn't cover some areas very well).

Some of the guys say it's really difficult to clean on the exterior, though & reccomend using a clear-coat over the top.

I've been trying to import a Herculiner kit to do my sammy's bed and rockers, and eventually the whole floor. It's pretty much standard procedure for modified 4x4s. I'm also planning on doing an area in the AE92's trunk where the factory jack normally scratches the paint.
