Looks good. I would have already Fusioned my bed rails if I did nothave Bondo Black Restore on them. Not sure how to remove all that stuff. It dries hard and is like a dye with a hard finish.

About every 3 to 4 months. It's easy to do, just apply with the sponge applicator and it looks very good. But, I would not want to use it any where but the bedrails.

I dont think they offer anything close to the color of our trucks except black. You might be able to swap for some king ranch bedrails, i thought they came in a color similar to the tan on the bottom of your truck..

Those rails pop off pretty easy for anyone that doesn't want to have to tape it all off fyi.

I guess it's preference. I prefer taping myself. I have done enough taping that it goes quickly and I don't have to find a place to lay them out for painting.

Yeah I thought they might come off but, my dad is a finisher and a pro with painting and all that goes with it..learned a few things

And they offer just about every basic color in gloss or satin. Nothing that would match the body color unless its black or white I don't think.
I was debating, but chose the gloss it looks much better than the satin would have.

Looks good .

Keep us updated on how they hold up to normal use (ie. flaking, cracking, peeling, etc...)
