Rocker panel repair
on my new 05, the rockers are still solid but no paint is there any longer. What should I do? clean it up, POR and rhinoline? or just paint it back to factory?

Re: Rocker panel repair
You could por them. If the paint has been all chipped/flaked away and they have some surface rust you could sand the rust to bare metal (if there are any pits, grind them out the best you can), clean it off well with a degreaser, give it a quick shot of an etching primer and a couple coats of paint and clear to match your vehicle. If you'd prefer for extra protection in the future and satisfaction, finish up with some rocker guard and paint to match if you'd like. Just a few suggestions. Goodluck!

Re: Rocker panel repair
after the paint is on, squirt some oil or atf up in the weep holes to hopefully get in the cavities. they rust from inside out
