2013 silverado rot over rear fender

[pamoffa]

2013 silverado.. It's been a bit since I've been on here, I thought long and hard on how I wanted to address the rot over my passanger side rear wheel, looked terrible and bought a panel side from ray Buck, I cut out all the rot, cleaned it up primer and paint underneath, I cut the patch panel down and correctly used adheasive and put the panel over the fender. I think it looks great and think it will never rust out in 5mins like the origonal. I know its on the out side but its better then the hide it thing with the plastic flares. I dont think my upload pic is coming across.

I bought 24 eastwood magnets which are very strong along with vicegrips and got a very tight fit for the glue to hold, this thing is flat. Looks like the panel is 20 gage and think the truck was 22. Panel adheasive 3m 38315 but you have to buy the pusher also which I didn't know. I cut out the least amount of rot and got it all, cut the panel down to give me about 1/2 to glue to.

I bought a rough country inner plastic wheel liner and the plastic clips lined up with the holes in the ray buck panel.

It's about a year and it is holding up great, I sanded out the orange peal and think it's about time to do the other side.
