Bed-liner style undercoating. Loving it :-) That stuff(or at least the professionally applied truck bed version) is super tenacious. I'd go ahead and do the same to the front doors(and the other side, rear door). Not just to unify the look, but also, as a preventative measure.

Thanks, Yes I did do the other doors and I even taped off a sort of nose bra on the front edge of the hood. This stuff was very cheap and holds up great against rock chips and other road debris.

Probably not a bad idea. It would also help deaden sound and road noises.

Hey, nice idea with the bed liner, how well has this stayed on after a few months?

[sig7707]

Thanks,
It has stayed on for about 9 months now.  None of it has come off.  I was actually involved in an accident where another car slid on some ice and hit me right in that door, right on the repair.  Even though it dented the door the repair held with no scratches.  It was funny the insurance adjuster thought it was factory applied stone guard and gave me another 200 bucks.  Anyway I am very happy with this stuff and no more rust.
