Rustoleum in the quart cans. oil based, goes on thick, smooths to a nice finish, lots of colors, easy to touch up (if needed) i pinted my whole rig with it. and about 4 previous rigs too. $ 8 a can. 3 cans will do a K5. 2 a Baja VW, 3 a XJ. u


used a 3" wide roller to apply. goes quick and smooth.

I painted my rockers with a spray on bed liner. It’s awful. It keeps fading to gray and I have to use Mothers "back to black" on it to keep it black. Yet before I sprayed my rockers I used a roll on type bed liner which was much thicker and stayed BLACK! When I get the time I will be going over the spray with the rolled type again. I also will be painting my bumpers with this.

I used the rustoleum hammered paint...and i really like it so far...if you look at it in a certain light it looks dark gray, then in other light it looks black...and it was fairly cheap.
Heres a pic of my jeep and what the can looks like.

I did my bumpers, flares, rockers, lower doors and mirrors and one can was more than enough for 2 coats. I used rustoleum roll on with a kit. Looks great

Lol the spray on stuff costs $3 a can, what did you expect it to last forever?

I painted my lower rockers, front and rear bumpers with the Rustoleum spray on bedliner. It looks good, just freshen it up with a new coat every 6 months and youll be fine.

You can get it at Napa, AutoZone... really any autoparts store. It should be by the paint and its called Roll-On Bedliner, sometimes rubberized undercoating ect

I used Herculiner bed liner, it comes with 2 rollers and a brush. The important thing to do is rough up the bumpers prior to painting and take some acetone and wipe them down then roll it on.

Rustoleum hammered is awesome and has that rough look, I would go with that.
