    I appreciate using the bed liner spray and I’ve done several chassis using it, cheap and easy. I generally spray rust converter first according to the condition of the chassis. The chrome I have not done but I’m considering trying it when opportunity arises.

    I'm glad to see this truck left original for the most part. A little touch up can't hurt anything. Way to go team.

    That looks so good, amazing, would not believe it was chrome tape. Just finishes her off a treat!!!

    I like the idea of the chrome tape for the bumper. I can see a lot of applications for it. Another great video and looking forward to many more videos.

    I do car and boat interiors and I use chipgaurd on door panel and dash repair. It's the fastest way to match the grain and if you want a different pattern you simply move towards or away, let dry and dye the dash or door panel the color to match. It comes in black or clear so clear on lighter colors and black underneath darker colors.

    A good use for Rock Guard on a Jeep is to cover the entire floor on the inside. A friend of mine would go off-roading often and the insulation under the floor covering would always get wet and take a long time to dry out. They took the floor covering out, then rock guarded the entire floor then It would dry out much faster this way and it helped to prevent the floor from rusting. The only downfalls were it was a noisier drive on the highway and was more difficult to heat, making it colder in the winter. Then again they had a soft top on the Jeep so regardless it was a noisy drive and difficult to heat.
    Also, I have a tip for making it easier of getting the film off the back of 3M two-way tape. Use tape to stick to it to help start peeling it off.

    I did the chrome tape myself as a trim piece insert of y front and rear bumper and it looked great. Unfortunately here in the AZ heat it only lasted a little over 2 years before it cracked and faded and I had to do it again. Even so it was pretty cheap and made the vehicle really stand out. Awesome job with the truck it's looking really good

    Chad: I Know what you mean. I have a '57 Chevy Bel Air, the rear sides have these trim pieces that are aluminum with shiny strips going the length. A pair of these cost (new) over $600.00!
    I took a couple of 1/8" chrome mylar tape and applied it to where the chrome looking parts are! Cost me about $6.00!! Cant tell I did mine that way, they look brand new!
