I'm restoring my bj42 right now. I put "monstaliner" on the interior (pretty much a roll on version of raptor liner non UV sensative). It looks really good. I bought it with sort of a home built tub with quite a few issues. I almost spent the money on a new tub but decided to fix what I had instead. It had lots of flaws and welds in a lot of different places. I put the monsta liner down and it does a very good job hiding those flaws. It saved a lot of work smoothing things out and looks great.
Now I'm looking at the bottom few inches of the cruiser. The rest of the body is in decent shape but the running boards, and bottom 10" or so to the bottom of the doors doesn't look great. Especially the door bottoms. I've welded up the holes, grinded it off. But if i want it smooth it's going to take a lot of work. I'm not keen on welding in new patch panels, and the bottom of doors is not a great place for bondo. The cruiser is going to be all black. So I was thinking about more black monstaliner for the bottom part of the quarters, running board, bottom of the door, and first half of the fender to hide some of the flaws.
Has anybody else done this? Are you happy with it? My biggest hurdle is finding a good breaking point where the monstaliner stops and the regular paint starts. I'm also not sure on the black on black contrast. If my cruiser was going to be white with a black rocker I think that would be a easier spot to pick a breaking point. The first raised part of the metal in the door seems like the best spot but I'm not sure I want to go that high. Does anybody have any pics of what they did?
