    I don't like how you can see the frame and little black spots on the white paint. Is there an available black body panel or piece of trim to cover it. I have looked at oem black running boards but I don't necessarily want a board. After market boards/bars look like they still show. Anyone seen a solution to make it look finished?

    Plastidip is what I used. Cheap and effective.

    I have looked at your album but you don't have a side profile pic that shows it very well. Do you have any?

    Or would you please post one if you don't mind and have some time?

    Thanks

    They are rock sliders made by Demello Offroad. Although their primary purpose is to protect my rocker panels from damage, they have been useful as steps.

    I noticed this today. I have a picture of my truck as the background on my work computer. I was looking for some files, and noticed that. Going to paint it asap.

    I can think of two really easy ways to solve the problem.

    1) stand closer to the truck. Then you can't see it.

    2) take the truck out and get it muddy.

    Also, for peace of mind, consider that 99.5 out of 100 people that look at your truck won't care. They don't care what color it is, or what brand it is. Much less what those little bolts look like. ;)

    Now then. I think I'll go out and tape off a nice low line and apply some monstaliner to that area. It will last longer than paint or dip. And hide those silly bolts. Just kidding, not today. Maybe in about 10 years when I do the whole rocker area like that to cover up the road debris damage.

    I agree with 99.5% but the other .5% is me. Those silly bolts have been talking shit every day since I purchased the truck. I like the idea of doing a bed liner coat, Thanks
