2000 4runner SR5 Running Boards Removed

I removed the stock running boards and it looks great. Going to order some mud flaps for the front. Does anybody know why the paint along the underside of the doors/body is so textured and looks thicker? I was thinking of doing a strip of Rhino Lining along the bottom but I think the paint might already be reinforced there. If you're thinking of taking the boards off all it took was size 12-14mm sockets/wrenches and a Phillips screw driver. The back is tricky because the tire is in the way of the plastic molding so you want to have a really short Phillips driver. Also, you can save some time by removing the 3 mounting brackets underneath while they are still attached to the board rather than taking apart the whole board, make sure you take off all the molding first though.

Looks better now. I have thicker paint there too, it's probably for added protection.

That is rocker guard coating under the paint. It is so the paint doesn't chip.

Thanks, I thought that might be what it was.
