Hi,

After riding some gravel roads I have noticed multiple chips on my rocker panels. The area next to rear wheels above the rocker panel seems to have some sort of a clear bra / protection installed. I am wondering if is suitable for the rocker panels. If not, what are the other options. I know that mud covers scratches and paint chips, but I'd like to do something to protect the metal. Has anybody tried putting line-X on rocker panels yet?

Cheers!

Mine came with some clear bra stuff in front of the rear fender well. Its getting beat up pretty good, best bet is to rhinoline it or something similar.

I used Herculiner on the rocker panel and lower doors.

My solution is on page two of this Chips in Rocker Panel thread.

Just FYI, I still have the mud flaps on and still have chips in the same area- do a lot of gravel roads getting to where I need to be.

any type of spray on/roll on liner seems to be the best protection.
i noticed a new silver frontier on the west side of vegas, with rhino lining from the front all the way to the back. covers the fender well (the part that sticks out) down to the rocker and to the back of the bed. it looked nice and matched the silver.
im doing mine within a few weeks, if it doesnt get any hotter!

Do you have to scuff the paint surface prior to using the herculiner? Primer or anything else for better adhesion?

 

[Muzikman]

Yes, you want to scuff and clean the surface well before you use any spray/roll liner. I used 80 grit paper and Xylene to clean it.

Once you realize that once the stuff is on there it's not coming off makes it easier to destroy the paint.

Yeah, I could definitely see that. Thanks.
