Rhino lining the body of a 60

What happens if you paint over bedliner with regular body paint? I want to put a stripe around the bottom of my truck, because there's already something thicker than standard paint down there, but I'm not sure I want two tone. So I'm thinking strip, primer, bedliner the bottom of the panels, then top coat with original paint color. Will that work? Will it stick?
 
Total for me was 60 bucks at a car-co, sanded grinded sanded some more and grinded also did some filling and sanding took about 5 hours had black rust converting primer and bought 3 cans of generic spray on bedliner

Is this a serious quote? If it really is I doubt it would hurt it by more than .5 mpg. Remember we drive Landcruisers.

I think it might help the fuel economy by breaking up the air better, like a golf ball.:idea: I think it was scion that recently made a car with dimples making it look like a golf ball and that car got better gas mileage with that body!

Toyota engineers strike again!

But seriously, I like this one best. I think that's the direction I'm going when I get this done. I like the line that someone had put to go up on the front of the hood too, I forgot his name though.

#1- With the Rust Bullit on being a semi silver surfer truck, and showing some LandCruiser Love
#2- Finished product :grinpimp:

 
I think the weight if you did the whole vehicle would be more impediment to mpg than just the lower panels... dont think the roughness is enough to make it worse than driving a brick like we are already.
 
Rustoleum Satin Olive Green and Duplicolor bedliner brushed on, with a shutz gun spatter coat to give some texture.

I'm thinking bedliner on the bottom body line, and then just red/black paint for the upper sections.

I just painted my front bumper black on bottom with red hoop and am planning on painting my swingarms on the rear red as well (bottom section already black). So that way it will all tie together
 
Nice work! I'm looking at doing the same, maybe just the rockers and inner lips of the wheel openings. How did you like working with the rust bullet? Brush, roller or spray? How about the Duraback? Any recommendations now that you've been throough it?

Thanks,
Jim

Me likey
 
Gotta murder it out though. Chrome on that color combo looks retarded.

Yeah that was the only profile-side pic of my cruiser that I had readily available. That was pre-lift, pre 31's, pre-bumpers, pre-winch..it was stock in that pic lol.

The reason i'm gonna do that color style is because of how I painted my front bumper, and how i'm eventually painting the rear.

And then the swingarms are gonna be red.
 
Bitchin'! Love the front bumper. Home made? Looks like a 4+ or if Slee made a 60 front bumper.
The black and red combo is interesting. The closest thing I have seen is this white one on Slee's site.

And my boss had a cobalt blue stripe on his white 60. And I did the sparkly green stripe on Sheila, my white 60.
I think I've seen a black one with silver side striping, but never red on black. Go for it.
 
Front bumper is custom fabbed by a couple guys in Arvada/Westminster, Colorado
Design was taken from one of Jim's (SROR)

The rear is a kit i bought from a fellow mudder (Fourrunner) and fabbed myself.
