    I am! i plan on repainting the trim, back bumper, and side steps. They are gray and look terrible. Someone ran over them with a heat gun but it was only a temporary fix and i think it actually made one curl and face faster. I also want to rhino line the bed as soon as possible. and get off of these terribly lame tires.
    The paint has a few spots i am going to fix.

    Nope. Put real sliders on it. Use Monstaliner to finish them.

    Mostly over spray on a window or something. minor stuff. does anyone know how to get water spots out of paint though? noticed a couple. My truck had to sit in rain freshly painted because we had some bad storms and i couldnt cover it.

    Inside your bed as well. Also good for bumpers and lower rockers when they get beat up.

    i have never plasti dipped. Is the monstaliner better than rhino? i would do all of the plastics at once (step rails, bumpers, etc. ) id also like to do something to protect the tube bumper. no winch yet so it is left vulnerable tp rust. ive painted it yes, but flecks have came off andwater sets on it sometimes.

    It depends on who you ask. Both pretty good. The things that rocks about plasti-dip is that if you don't like it then just peel it off.

    is there anything DIY ish that i can spray under neath to protect the frame and stuff more? obviously it would take a few days to celan up the under carriage etc. but I worry about some rust. I bought it from a guy in SC and being in the salt air it has some surface rust and a couple spots i worry about.

    I have seen plasti dip on someones rims. I dont mind how it looks, as long as it wont turn to grey in 2 months, I just want to protect my bed! i haul alot of stuff. Hay, boats, etc. I am scraping my bed. yes, thats what its for, but i figured i would get it all protected at the same time.

    Like I said , sliders would be sweet and you can get bolt on sliders so no welding is necessary. They are a bit much for me at the moment so I'm really enjoying my predator bars.

    Rhino or monster for your bed would be great. I derped my badges and my wheel centers caps about 5 months ago and they look pretty good as you can see.
