Looks good Wygate. I did that to my current truck and also included both bumpers. Shouldn't have much worry about paint chips now and it helps set off that long white look!

Who's system did you use Rhino or LineX? it looks great.

I did this in my home shop, no special toys needed, 1/4" nozzle under coating spray gun($30), roller that comes with and a bristle type brush, if done correctly you can't tell between brush and spray.
Product is Durabak , comes in smooth and ruff (mine is textured) and sticks to just about anything!!! About $120 a gal and this job took one gal. I did the sheet metal under the truck too, just about 3 coats on the parts you can see. Takes about a gal to do a short bed also, my next job...
This is the 4th truck I have used Durabak on and love it. I do have to say it is not as stuff in the bed as I would like, but dragging an axle is a pretty tuff test!!! Good news is its easy to top coat, xylean rub and paint.

I can go deeper if anyone wants.

Oh yea thank you guys, I spent a lot of time trying to do it right!

Yea it will work great, knock off the loose rust and coating, 3 coats should do the trick. I buy right from the company,
Google durabak, get it by the gallon, you will find more stuff to cover also if you are careful you can reuse that gallon until its gone. If you leave product in the lip on the can, good luck!!!! I have pulled that lip/dip in the can right out! Not an easy thing to do.
Follow the directions they provide and you will be happy, it sticks to everything, especially driveways, ask me how I know
