Finally got a bath on Saturday since it was almost 80 degrees outside.

Welcome to my life lol. Started as a few little bubbles and now I have quarter size flakes of paint falling off every wash.

ive gotta decide if i want to throw the money at it to fix it or not, probably better to tackle it before it spreads too much. thats the only panel on the truck with any form of rust on it.

Right, the local body shop wanted to replace the whole bedsides for about $5000 which is ridiculous.

But I have a friend of a friend who is a body guy and he just did the pre-made patch panels on two of these trucks. I have a welder so I think I might attempt it myself this summer or have him do it on the side if I fuck it up. And I have another friend who paints so he could just paint the bedsides for me.

If it's small enough and can just be patched instead of the whole bedside, I can hook you up on a patch. No reason at all it can't be patched nicely if you have a body guy that knows what he's doing

I know. You say that every time I post my truck. Good news is I’m about to get 35s so something will have to be done about it. But I may just trim it.

You can make it look decent trimmed, just take off about 3/4 of the way up
