discus,
Just curious, you posted using SEM Bumper Coater on bumpers and rear wheel trim. You seem fairly confident something like this would not work on the panels.....
Wondering why? Because of thickness of material, is that "key" to keeping it from cracking again? If the cracks are filled with something like caulk that can expand/contract, and the paint is flexible. it seems it would work (but I really have no idea!). But a few comments here imply it wont because of the contraction/expansion due to heat.
In your case, using the filler, filled the cracks, but it seems you are relying on the bedliner to eliminate the contraction/expansion going forward, otherwise the filler would just crack over time, I assume. Or is the adhesive you used "flexible" like a caulk?
Spending $400-$500 to have it sprayed with bed liner is bit out of my budget for plastic trim, although I am sure it works well.
Appreciate everyone's input.
I agree with you. Its not worth it.
I didn’t have to pay for product. If I had to pay for it, I would remove the plastic, have my body shop spray a textured coating that they use on the rocker panels, then spray it black.
There is too much movement in that large piece of brittle plastic. It will crack again.
Bumper coater is just paint. Not a high build product.
