Hi All,

So...

My paint is looking pretty rough and I am playing with the idea of using a bed liner product instead of paint. I have used it before on a truck to protect the lower portion of the doors and it looks great and works great.

I would think that it decrease the aerodynamics. My other thought is that I have seen textures that actually have better aerodynamics than flat surfaces. ie: sharkskin...

Has anyone had any real world trials with this?

Thanks,
Mr. Previa
