Has anyone tried this? I got backed into the other day and the guy took off dented my rocker panel pretty bad and took the paint off and left a little dent in the door. Everything still opens and closes fine but I want to seal the metal up so I don't rust. I know this wont be the last good dent my jk gets and I'm thinking this may be a good first mod. What're your thoughts??
Thanks,
Alex

 

Rhino lining (or any liner for that matter) should not be used for sealing metal. I would make sure you use a good primer before the liner.

 

Okay. Thanks for the heads up. Why is that?

 

I would look into some rocker protection like this to cover it up...these are all cheap options;

Warrior Products 5500 - Warrior Products HD Sideplates for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door - Quadratec

Bushwacker 14012 - Bushwacker TrailArmor Rocker Panels for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door - Quadratec

Smittybilt 76887 - Smittybilt XRC Body Cladding for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler JK 4 Door - Quadratec

Then put a few coats of primer over the chipped paint to keep from rusting. This would look way better than just slapping rhino lining on the jeep in my opinion. Wouldn't even look like anything was wrong with it.

 

Honestly, I have no clue why. Just what I have learned from prior experience.

I kinda like the idea of just covering it by adding body protection. Just make sure you seal up the chipped paint real good before hand.

 

Cool thanks a lot everyone. I really like the WP ones!

 

That stuff costs almost the same as getting some real armor from EVO or Poison Spyder.

Yep, i agree...but considering he was just going to roll on some bed liner, I figured he would want a much simpler solution. The bushwhacked stuff for instance basically tapes on with adhesive and used factory holes for the screws. No rivets or painting the armor involved.

 

I would probably just get the door fixed, and get some good rocker guards to cover the damage

 

I took a closer look today and I'm just going to take it in and pay my deductible. It must have pulled all the rockers in and really messed up my body gaps. Dents don't bother me but I may as well just fix it
