Bed lining Front Pillars?

I recently bought an 07 White Xterra with the dreaded paint peeling on the pillars and the rain gutters. That type of stuff doesn’t bother me, and I was able to touch it up fairly well.
BUT...
After spending some time on the forum I noticed the bedlining addiction shared by many XTerra owners. I’m now considering bedlining my whole roof and the front pillars to cover my temporary paint job and give the X a new look.

Has anyone bedlined the front pillars specifically? I’ve seen people do the roof but not the pillars. Also what is the best product to use for this?

Following for the impending pics... Would love to see how just bedlining those few areas looks

Im considering doing the same thing. got paint( avalanche white) peeling / flaking around the windows.

probably next year ill do a bed liner type DIY paint job on the whole truck, sans fenders. thinking a light grey, not sure i want to do white, though it would be nice to keep it the same color..

I gotta do something about it to prevent rust and just to make it look better, but a decent paint job is way more than i want to spend hence the diy approach.

since i dont have a air/ spray set up, Im actually considering using like a roller or something to apply it.

Negative.

Go to a rental site and get a 20 gallon air compressor .

You can buy a bed liner spray gun from TCP Global for $22.00
While on the website you can buy some Raptor Liner.

It was mostly dry yesterday and found a little duplicolor truckbed coating left in the garage. Work time was about 45 mins per side.

This is how it went:
Motor vehicle Automotive exterior Windshield Automotive window part Machine


The problem:
Office equipment Composite material


I masked around the rack instead of taking it off:
Product Yellow Textile Khaki Tan


There is one area that the channel comes really close to the plastic; here is how I opted to handle that:
Leather Silver Satin Silk



I approached this more as an experiment but I think it should make a good insurance policy against more paint flaking off. Hope this info helps OP and others.
