Default Truck bed lining rockers?

The paint is beginning to chip very badly on the rockers of my 98 Xj. I was planning on truck bed lining them to keep them from chipping and later on rusting up. Anyone have any ideas as far as what brand bedliner to use?

Anyone attempt this on here... pics... suggestion...?


Thanks in advance,

CW

How much was it? Please let me know how it turns out and how much of the bed liner you used to complete BOTH sides.

Thanks,

I use duplicolor in the spray can. Used 1 can per side.

I typically also use the dupicolor spray, but this jeep had herculiner on it when I bought it. Seems pretty darn durable.

I plan on doing the same thing later this summer. Monstaliner over a layer of POR-15 or Chassis Saver, since I have rust to fight with here in PA.

A lot of people swear against the rattle can kind, but it seems to work well for others. All depends on the prep.

Yeah I rattle canned my front and back bumper... came out nice... holding up well so far. But I was thinking about upgrading to something a little more thick and tough for the side rockers. I think im going to get herculiner!

I sprayed Duplicolor bed armor on my Xj's bumpers , sliders , Gastank skid , and rockers. It's holding up great even after Moab , and local trails.
