Get the Rhino Lining. Almost any color you want. The shop in Wilmington NC. has some shop trucks with 100% coverage. They really don't look that bad. Only downside is it aint cheap.

I don't care for the rough texture of the Rhino. Besides that, my brothers Rhino is chipping.

Thanks. I've been driving the truck in/out of the garage, thats about it. I got the bed primed this evening. I'm gonna try to get it sanded & ready for paint by the weekend. Don't have much time to work on it anymore. I'm real close to the finish though.

Thanks. I haven't painted the bumper & grille yet because I decided to get the bed on first. Then I'm gonna decide how to do the colors. I'm still debating between black or grey.

Just think J.....What this would cost if you got a body shop to do this type of restoration....I was quoted close to $10 to bo the same job as I done...Thats how I justified buying the tools and doing it myself(bought the tools several years ago for my 56 project)....Do you have another restoration project after the truck???
