    alrgith guys need opinions. Dylan and Dustin said to ptm the rocker, thats not a problem at all. the problem is if i ptm it theres a good chance that there is going to be a solid paint line where the new paint meets the old paint, im not sure how well i can blend paint since ive never had to do that before...and im using Duplicolor perfect match cardinal red paint. if i try to buff the spray paint it will probably just come off.

    my other option is to forget about ptm'ing it and just used bedliner like i used on the bottom of the rocker. it will have a definite tape line but atleast i wont be able to **** it up by trying to blend it.

    what do yall think? i need answers/opinions asap. my primer is drying and im just waiting to sand it down a little to fill any holes in my filler work. i havent opened the can of red yet.

    as long as the ptm is pretty close i wouldnt make a huge deal of it since its not that visible unless your doors open.
