lots of people get them line-x'd

however im sure that stuff would work great as well. just prep them properly.

I used rustoleum bed liner on my rangers wheel wells. sanded down good, cleaned etc. then sprayed 4 good coats. Has held up so far to rocks, snow/salt, etc. i drive gravel roads a lot, and my tires throw up a lot of rocks. no chips in mine yet. and actually dampens the sounds from rocks to.

So I say go for it. Will look a lot better as well.

Post up pics if anyone has done this. Definitely a cheaper alternative but I'm curious as to the texture and quality.

So nothing close to the texture of line x or comparable companies? I'd assume the deezee is very similar to the rustoleum. You can only put so much in a spray can.

the 3M rubberized undercoating is close to rhino liner and goes on thicker than the "truck bed" rattle can spray. no matter what you do it's going to chip off at some point but you can touch up!

Interesting. I'm mainly curious for items like the fender wells, flares, hood vents, and bumpers. I would probably pay to have a large area like the bed done but being able to do a small area by yourself would be beneficial to a lot of people.
