It's Rustoleum Bedliner Spray.

If you look back through my posts I've used it on a ton and it's holding up great.

Default Plastic screws

So I may have missed if this happened to anyone else in the previous 900 pages, but im attempting to do the grille mod, and the screws in my grille frame are plastic, as well as the plug anchors ~ and the damn screws don't back out! They spin like crazy but no progress. Anyone else experience this and what did you do to get them out? For such a "simple and inexpensive" project, I can't even get started because of this crappy Chrysler decision to use cheap a## plastic hardware
