here is a pic of my wife diving right in on the project were using the Rust-olium brand that you can pick up at most auto part stores for about fifty bux not bad considering it didnt even take a gallon for the first coat but keep in mind i didn't do the top, i decided to go with a thinner flat black for the bumpers and roof

one of the concerns with using truck bed liners for paint is weight added to the jeep but think of it this way...can your truck carry two gallons of paint without dogging down(mine can):thumbsup:
