Duplicolor Truck Bed Liner works well and has a texture that will help hide any small scrapes and bruises.

Yeah mine takes a lot of beating. I heard great things about Duplicolor. What did you do to prepare them? Just a good wash?

Heck no. I took those chrome things off within one hour of arriving home.

However, I have used it on other things. Just wash them and scrap off any and all rust. Use several coats until you are happy with the finish. It takes a long time for the truck bed liner to cure. It'll be soft for several days but it will harden up.

Another route to go is just plain old flat black paint.

P, have you got any stinger missle carriers?


Oh, looks like you need an alignment.

Mine are still on. I'll give it a try this weekend and post the result. Now I'll have to try to find some DupliColor. Any old auto store should have it right?

Yep, they should. If not, just go with the flat black. I suggested the bed liner because of the coverage, but you have to make due with what you can get.

I'll go take a look tomorrow after work. Thanks.
