well its suppost to be nice out tomorrow so i think im gonna remove the side trim and paint my rockers. i picked up 2 cans of spray on bedliner, along with a couple different grit sandpaper, basically for anyone who has done this, how did u prep the surface? i was thinking of basically sanding down the clear coat and then just spraying a couple coats on. but i want it to turn out good and not chip, so should i sand it down to bare metal and prime it then spray it? or should i just sand off the clear coat prime it then paint, or go with how i originally was gonna do it and just sand off the clear and just spray a few coats of bed liner on it

 

For bedliner, you could use an angle grinder with a wire cup brush to get to bare metal, then prime and bedline. That would be plenty of insurance that it won't chip off.

 

I just did mime so I can't speak to longevity, bit I used one of the drill attachments that removes rust and paint and took off the clearcoat then sanded with a sanding block, primered, and then sprayed. It went on really well. I did a couple spots in the jams without sanding well and primer and it went on pretty good too. It's really easy to do. Good luck!

 

responded to your PM. Mine's been on for about 8 months or so with zero chips.

 

I sanded all the clear coat off and scuffed the paint. I bedlined my whole jeep last spring. It hasn't chipped flaked or anything it's still on there as strong as when I first put it on. What kind of bedliner did you get that matters too.
