Paint protection for lower third of truck

[flintlock]

Does anyone have experience with ppf or any other solution for the textured lower door panels? Will ppf adhere to the textured paint. Gravel driveway and I don’t want the paint chips….thanks in advance

PPF will adhere to the textured paint. I currently have it there and on the front of the truck as well.
Truck bed liner will work too, but its not very cosmetic.

Ok thank you for the response. I have only contacted one installer and was told they can’t do the texture sections…..I will keep calling around

I installed PPF on just the lower rocker panel sections to protect the paint from my clumsy feet hitting it when I step on the running boards. Went on well, no issues.

Did you do it yourself? If you did can you tell me what product you used?

 

[bobo57]

Yup, did it myself. It was pretty easy since the sections I installed were rectangular and didn't have to do any stretching or compound curves. I had the side steps installed which were the rough finish so I just covered them with aluminum foil so the microfiber towels for cleaning didn't get snagged.

Do you run mud flaps? Even small ones will help.
I would be concerned with durability of PPF, those rocks on a gravel road will come hard and fast.
Look into LineX those rockers, they have color choices now too,
But once, cry once.

I rhino lined my rockers looks amazing. Truck is white and I had the rockers painted black. The paint guy tried to talk me into doing the entire textured section. He said when he was done I wouldn’t even know. Required repaint of all the doors. I opted to wait until/if it ever need it.

Agreed I did the same on my RAM a number of years ago when I lived on a gravel road never looked back

Another option you have is to get the rocker painted with a heavy layer of hard clear. It may not stop everything, but the stock clear and paint is soft as hell and thats why it looks so bad, so fast.
