If nothing else buddy, keep the pictures coming, the truck is turning out pretty sweet.
I coated the entire bottom side with Zero Rust. I sprayed 3/4 gallon on the bottom & bedsides. I couldn't get pics because my wife had my camera, but I did snap this. It is dusty in this pick.

I coated my inner wheel wells with Duplicolor bed liner. I made a brush hooked to a pole & gobbed it on so that it ran down between the wheel tub & bedside. I also did inside of my doors same way. I took a few pics.

I made my mind up. I saw a truck today which actually made my decision for me. My wifes Jeep Liberty has a dark charcoal grey on the bottom which is very sharp. I am gonna spray the fender flares, bumpers that color & color matched grey Line-x on the rockers. I know some of you don't care for that, but I like it. I think this will look good, if not, I'll redo it.

Thanks guys. I bought the paint today, no turning back now. I'm almost ready to spray the front bumper & grille, then the tailgate & its off to Line-x. My plan is to have it done for Diesel Dawgs April 25.
