Any reason not to rhino line my inner fenders?

Hey guys, so I'm thinking about using a bed linner on my fender wells. I want something that looks clean but will hold up.

I can't see why it wouldn't work... but I turn to the masses for advice and info...

I have done a set for my 4x4 and my 2wd, with a different brand of liner, they look good and the will be strong.

Heck yeah, do it! I had both sides of mine done about 5 years ago when I replaced the rusted originals. I was so disappointed in the paper thin metal that LMC stamps these out of I figured the Rhino would help add some beef back into the cheap cheesy replacements. They’ve worked great. The Rhino also makes them much easier to clean.

I used a spray can bed liner on the underside. It gives it a little bit of texture and holds up well to rocks:



And went gloss on the tops:

Re: Any reason not to rhino line my inner fenders?

cool, thanks for the info everyone...

The pic of the rhino on the wells looks great.. my truck sets pretty low.. you wont see much but I don't want to leave it unfinished... It will be nice to have something that hold up better than just paint...
