Before my paint guy paints my rocker panels and valences he asked if I wanted to put a light bedliner material on first to protect them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Has anyone done this? How does it look?

I have some vague recollection of seeing a fair amount of rust behind some truck bedliner material that was later removed. I can't remember where or when I saw this, but it's stuck in my head. Perhaps the surface wasn't prepared properly either, who knows? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I don't know that I'd use it on my already rust prone 914 sheet metal. Strictly my opinion and what I would do or not do.

There you have it. bedliner, will not rust metal. Metal that is rusty before the bedliner goes on will continue to rust after it is there. As often as not, bedliner is used to cover over rusty beds, rather then keep them from rusting in the first place.
