I also use spray on bed liner, but the duplicolor brand (blue can) doesn't run as easily and is tougher from my experience. (ive used both) Rustolium takes alot longer to cure. and bed liner wont chip from road debris like regular paint.

I had to do it after all I have read on here and heard from other people about the orange can of death. The oil was a personal preference after a friend recomended it.
Wait what's the deal with orange can of death?

Tell me about it. I'm so glad I took an extra day to get the lift on before I went home on leave. At least I got to show it off, ya know?

Cut the front fenders, cut and folded the rear fenders and bed lined the bottom of the door, rocker panels and rear quarter panels.

Also got one Infinity component speaker wired before I had to pick up the kiddo. Hopefully I can get the other side done sooner rather than later.

Picked up a set of 5 turbine wheels, with 4 perfect center caps, in super good shape. I LOVE CRAIGSLIST! He also had a red stock 97 cherokee with 60k miles, and a 69 corvette. I'm gonna take some pics tomorrow. The guy had the tires for so long, one of them was delaminated. Thank his wife for making him sell them:-)
