Fender undercoat?

My truck seems quieter and I don’t hear the rocks hitting like I used to. I would only do this after the bodywork is finished, it would be a pain to get off.

All I think of when I see the concerns for removing it, what are we doing rotating undercoat on the fenders? I mean come on, it will be applied and it will stay there for years and years and years without ever any reason what so ever to remove it.

I have never been a big fan of it, but plan on using it on my truck when I finish it up.

I'm more experienced with Model A Fords; it is imperative that you coat the underside of the fenders or you will get outward rock dents in them from the tires throwing stones. I've owned 3 ADs however, and never seen those rock dings in any of the fenders, despite the trucks being very high mileage. Maybe in their original configuration they didn't go fast enough to fling rocks ;-)

after 35,000 miles i wish i had done a little more paint protection on truk
spent a lot of time under the cab working on brakes last month and noticed issues
front edge of the bed steps have a lot of chipped paint as do the bottom of the rockers
i thing 3M Scotchgard-Clear-Paint-Protection film would have done wonders in those areas

i did 3m film on the painted cab steps and it has held up well, still no scratches in the steps well area
