Line-x

Well, I am considering getting a Line-X bedliner which from what I have read should fit my needs.... I was wondering since there is pretty much no protection from flying rocks and whatnot in the wheel wells on the 04...... does anyone think it would be a good idea or even possible to spray a thin layer of the coating in there too?

Thanks for reading

It's possible to coat the wheelwells, but a little pricey and difficult for the installer to do without getting the Line-X coating on other things you don't want it on. You can however do what I did that was far less expensive and has worked out great on my truck. I bought 2 cans of Duplicolor's Truck bed liner spray @ AutoZone. I removed my rear wheels and the plastic inner fender wells covers, and taped off everything that I didn't want coated. I lightly scuffed the paint surface for adhesion with 400 grit sandpaper. I then applied three coats to the painted areas of the wheelwells. The stuff then requires 24 hours to cure properly. After that, I peeled the tape and put everything back together. So far it still looks great and cleans up the looks of the rear of my truck (i.e. no body color paint peeking out of the wheelwells). It also eliminates the possibility of rust accumulating in any nicks you might get in the original painted surface. Give it a try.

Let me first say I have not done this, but...

My RhinoLiner dealer will spray whatever you want.

The key is to make sure the part to be sprayed is extremely clean.

After that, you are good to go.
