Making the Pinch-Weld ‘disappear’

[SupremoSombrero]

Bought some spray-in Bedliner and some blue painter’s tape. The results are fabulous (IMO). The truck looks higher because the painted body isn’t as low. I also coated that big control arm bolt, which will otherwise be a rusty eyesore in a year.

The matte & rough surface of the truck bed liner makes the pinch weld visually disappear under there:

I didn’t want to add weight and cost of rock rails or steps. I’m a not the typical Bronco owner:

Nice. I'd add a few blanking grommets to complete the transition.

That looks pretty good

Looks good! Good to see finished result as I planned to do this too. Have most of a can in the basement from another project. Like your Cobra too!

Very nice! Which spray bed liner did you use?

Very nice! A true artists touch.

Damn, I’m digging this look! Off to get some spray and painters tape

I did the same with Wurth spray can undercoating. It dries to a hard surface not gummy at all and can be painted. Works great.

Hurculiner, but I’m sure they are all basically the same

Nice look with the bed liner. I've got some rubberized undercoating left over that's going on mine.

Nice Shelby in your avatar. Had a '14,,, sold it a year or so ago.

did you sand it to rough it up first or did you just spray it straight on?

Cleaned and dried with a paper towel. That didn't really 'rough' it, but some microscratches. That stuff sticks to anything - and it worked fine. No need to worry about roughing it up.

Badass rig. Mine is lowered, too. I have to pussyfoot over speed bumps. I just bounce the Bronco right over them. It's a nice pairing.
