Been down this same path with mine recently. Just be careful not to pull to hard and break the clip mounts off the back of the Cladding. What is your plan, paint or something else? One more question, what do the rear quarter panels look like in front of the tires? Was going to do the rust repair myself but finding the time is almost impossible. Taking it to a body shop next week for an estimate to remove the rusted metal and have new welded in. Good luck and keep us posted. My next piece to come of is the front bumper cover.

I haven't really thought it through yet... Im thinking about going with the bedliner but then again I want the quick results of krylon.. the bed liner would be more durable n would last longer but would require more prep work n time... What route do you guys think I should take?

Does anybody know much about the krylon fusion paint? My main concern is durability.. will this stuff hold up to rocks from the road and from common hazards while off-road. (Brush, tree branches, and the mud.)

I really think just about anything is going to get beat up and need touched up. Paint is bonded onto the metal parts of the truck and it chips. Plastic is a little more forgiving when things bounce off of it so it may work. Another thing you might try is some roll on bedliner material. It won't be as thick at the spray on stuff but once it's muddy, I don't know how easy it will be to get clean with all the little nooks and crannies that's in it.

That's a good point mike.. I actually decided to go with krylon fusion paint I called a shop here in town and he said that if I take my time and prep the cladding right I won't have to worry about touching up at places.. he said that its pretty durable. He said if it were to get scraped then it would be deep enough to gouge the plastic as well .he told me that the front bumper cover may need a little touching up but he said add a couple extra coats and it would take care of that problem.

Yes sir! Number 166 of 306. Engine and chassis numbers match. All 100% original parts.

I really like how you did the lower reliefs on the cladding... I may have to consider it!

I was wondering how the Krylon would do on the cladding... looks very nice. Is this the normal paint Avy owners are using to get their sweet results

? Also what "Prep" needed to be done? (sanding or chemical wipe?) i have heard of a few different things to do as prep when it comes to painting cladding but not sure if it is good info.
Thanks

it turned out.... ok.... i used flat black krylon when i should of gotten the satin finish... ill be redoing it this spring or summer

as far as prep work i just used 120 grit sand paper and just scuffed the surface a little... i didnt push hard enought to remover the texture but enought to make the surface rougher.. then i took some acetone and wiped everything and waited till it dried. then id spray bomb it. i guess everybody has tried their own ways.. we have gatorback, restore refinish and krylon...i know im missing some... it just comes down to budget and preference.
