In and effort to save some green i'm looking at dipping my factory running boards on my 06 F150 but i was curious how much does one can do? Could i get away with a can per side or would i need more? I am kinda thinking on doing a pretty heavy coat on it to building up some thickness to is considering its so susceptible to being hit by rocks and object thrown up from the tires.

 

2 (1 per side) would more than likely be ok. I'd do 3 cans just to be safe. You really want solid do 4. About $24

 

i took mine off, hand sanded them with some 220 grit, got some spray primer which was like 5 bucks did a couple coats with that then like 3 with a can of flat black rustoleum spray paint and they turned out really good!

 

that plasti dip will come off when stepped on. spray it with some rustoleum bed liner
