Bed liner on rocker panel

[TKMSavoy]

My 1962 Plymouth Savoy is definitely a driver. It’s been in the family since it was new. I have done a great deal of restoration work on it. Time for a little body work. The rocker panels need to be painted as does the lower two or 3 inches of front fenders and rear quarter panels. I do my own bodywork and although it’s not much to look at looks OK from 15 feet. At a car show recently the owner had painted his rocker panels and the bottom 3 inches of the fender and quarter panels with truck bed liner. His car was black so it matched easily. My Plymouth is white and truck bed liner is also available in white. My question is has anyone tried this on their Mopar? There are both spray on and brush on versions of truck bed liner. The reviews seemed to indicate that the brush on provides a longer lasting result with far better adhesion. It seems like an ideal repair in that even when I’m done with my prep, the original metal is less than perfect and the truck bedliner would provide great protection and a decent look. Looking forward to your input.

Id go with Rocker Guard.

I can't stand bedliner painted anywhere on cars. It's nasty and rough, takes skin off.
Looks like a quick and dirty shortcut.

I like bedliner for the underside. Not on every project , but I used tintable raptor from upol. Did it on the rotisserie and it was nice. Wanted a little added protection underneath. As far as rockers, I would go with chip guard though.

Thanks for responses, I am checking out chip guard and rocker guard, I think it’s the right way to go — i’ve seen it on a couple of cars. It’s not noticeable until you look close. It seems to provide great protection. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I use it on the bottom of the rocker not the sides & use clear shrink wrap on the sides to protect against stone chip's
