My longs are rock solid and have obviously been treated at one time. Seems odd that the outside would have been an aftermarket application as the covers would have needed to be taken off.
So...did they come from the factory this way or could the PO have had it done? I'm also curious as to why the front half seems so much darker/cleaner than the back. Thoughts? Thanks. Attached image(s) |

I believe they were body paint color from factory, this looks like dealer/aftermarket undercoating.
I'm guessing the back section gets more road 'crap' thrown up into it from the front wheels (and a little from the rears..). If you watch the spray pattern on tires, it isn't very much of an angle, so the front part of the rockers doesn't get as much. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Removed rocker to do some winter maintenance; long looks just like mine. Front good shape; rear not so much. Black but will repaint original green. |
