I would like to protect the paint of the bottom of the Jeep from chips. What do you think if I put Black 3M vinyl film, this is the part that I would like to protect from chips



Many Thanks!!!

That will likely not work, and why not just throw a nice set of sliders on like my Purejeeps? It will protect that area and look BA.

I agree that vinyl film will most likely not work for very long. There are quite a few different manufacturers that make various types of rocker armor. I've also seen a few people on here that have taped off their rockers and sprayed them with bedliner. Here is a link to one of the threads. You could bedline up the side as high as you want.

THANKS!!!!
But I´m not a fan of sliders / metal skin beacuse I do not want to drill my Jeep!

You can also just pick up a set of used Rubi sliders from someone for pretty cheap - and that doesn't require drilling into your body at all.

It depends on what you are protecting the area from. If you are protecting it from road debris and bugs, then a 3M film like you would clear-bra your Ferrari with will be OK. This will likely get quite nasty looking, though, if you repeatedly cake it with mud and spin rocks and gravel from your fronts onto it.

or you could just bedline it. cheapest way to go for sure, and if you scuff it up again just repaint it.

My local Line-x dealer showed me samples of this done on rocker panels. i had my Jeep done last fall and i think i might have them do the rockers as well as the fender wells in the rear ( once i get flats ) as well as the pich seam that is exposed above the rear bumper.

Not the best view but here's my bedliner job. Took off the rock rails and bedlined the entire area. Bedlined the rails too. It's holding up very good after a couple of months and several wheel'n trips.
