I just did my bumpers this past weekend and I plan on doing the rocker panels as soon as I have time to take care of some very minor rust just behind the rear doors on both sides. I bought the POR-15 starter kit on sale for around $25 shipped to clean, prep, and convert/seal the rust before lining the body. Here are some pics of how the bumpers turned out, I ended up taking them off so I could hit the backs of them with some rust converter spray and prep the entire surface easily.

Just Rhino-Lined my truck a few weeks ago..came out great! prep time is where its at! i scuffed everything with 80 grit then cleaned everything really good with acetone then taped & masked off everything..then i rolled mine on with a 4 inch stucco roller..2 heavy coats, 2 hrs between coats!! This stuff looks really tuff once it dries & sets up!! get alot of compliments when people see it!!..Good luck with your project! https://blazerforum.com/forum/member...re-a-27431.jpg

OK, I didn't have a full day to do the whole truck, so I decided to do the grill and bumper instead. here are some pictures of how it turned out. I'm pretty pleased with it! the next full day I have free, I plan on doing the rockers. I think I'm a bit OCD, so these things take me longer than they should (mostly because of all the prep work involved). Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks Trubble618...that's about what i'm planning on doing. I like the black on black look of your truck! Very nice! i'm using the spray on instead of the roll on so i'll probably end up doing 2-3 coats to make sure it's protected. the grill got 3 coats to protect it from all the abuse a front end takes.

looks real good. definitely an idea ive been thinking of as im in canada and salt is a terrible thing and unfortunately the jimmy has a few rust spots. on my old car i fixed a few rust spots but didnt like how it turned out but i like the idea of bed liner as its not supposed to look the same as the paint

Decided to do some digging in the forums and came upon this thread. I have also bedliner'ed (new word lol) my rocker panels but every year they chip. This winter here in MI has been a tough one and today I washed my truck for the first time since like november and I can see more chipping of the bedliner (sprayed it on this past summer). What I did is used a wire wheel to take off ALL paint down to metal. I cleaned the metal with alcohol then primered, then bedliner. Figured that would work the best. But its still chipping bad. Should I not prime and just clean the metal real good with acetone? I dont want to have to do this every summer.
Heres part of the reason I did the bedliner. had a tiny rust hole, I started cutting away the bad metal and turned out to be this big of a spot lol.
This was the first summer I did the bedliner, hard to see. This was before the big patch. I also did the fenders and the rear bumper.

Ive used two brands. Different one each summer. Boh I just went to the auto store and grabbed a couple spray cans of it. In the bottom picure you can see one can but I dont remember what brand that was.
