Not intentionally, just the pinch welds prior to installing the RCI sliders.

But they likely caught some overspray.
How did the RCI install go? Mine are arriving this week, hope installation isn't too complicated.

Wasn't bad at all, I installed them by myself only using a jack stand to elevate one end.

Im in the Desert South West, but I just taped off, scuffed it with some 220 grit , and painted it with Krylon flat black. I have GOAT Fab sliders which hide most of it. Ive had no issues at all, self car wash sprayer and all???
I just bought the Krylon Fusion paint and was going to use that as well. Iā€™m torn between that and using some under coating spray or bed liner. Iā€™m sure Iā€™m over thinking this for such a small barely noticeable area lol.

How did your paint hold up?

I just used rattle can bed liner and plastic plugs from Amazon.

Iā€™m painting mine as we speak, but now Iā€™m wondering if I put my tape in the best location. I ran it right at the start of crease where the metal is bending and going horizontal. Iā€™m interested to know if people stopped there or went under the door sill more.

I had Line X applied for a variety of reasons, but I am pleased with results. Itā€™s not cheap because they masked the whole vehicle. My coworkers brother owns the shop.
