Three coats of spray bed liner so far (after wet sanding of course). I'll do at least one more before replacing them tomorrow. I'll post pics when i get them back on.

I have no experience with painting vehicles, let alone the liner stuff, so excuse my ignorance; but could this have still been done by just taping off and covering the rest of the vehicle while you painted the fenders?

Well i could have and thought about it but after looking closer at the fenders I decided I would get a better result by removing the fenders. It was easier to get in the "nooks and crannys" this way.

What do you all think?

Duplicolor Bed liner spray from Advance. $9.85
I've had good luck with it before. I painted the bumpers on my 72 Bronco with it two years ago and it still looks good.

4 coats in about 3 1/2 cans
