    98 Mud Bug. I might swap out the nerfs for sliders in the future, But i'm not too worried about them yet. I sanded it down to bare metal where there was any rust. In the other areas I just did 320 grit. Then I rinsed it down well and used lint free cloth with xylene or xylol til it was clean clean. Then I taped off the areas I didn't want lined with gorilla duct tape. It took a solid 8-10 hours. I wouldn't do it again. Make sure you use the UV protectant. You won't be able to find it in the stores so just order it online... Good luck!
