Thumbs down Herculining Rocker Panels (pictures)

OK, I need an opinion - I sanded the rockers down most of the way tonight in preparation for coating my rockers with Herculiner - I pondered making a line in the back by the tail light and also the bug guard idea on the hood -- I need to know if you guys think it will look lame -- I cant decide- Public opinion is going to win and assuming all goes well tomorrow i will post the effect tomorrow night.

We will call this picture 1


Picture 2


Picture 3


Picture 4


Thanks for the opinions boys - and girls.
Katie

I think around the taillights would look good. i wouldnt do the hood though, just my opinion.

I agree with Pepsi, don't think the front would look good. I like the rear area though.

Post the after pics if you have a chance

My first opinion was the rear would look ok, maybe better if the line was curved in the corner slightly unstead of square L. The front didn't really hit me right for some reason.

On second thought maybe just the rockers would look the best.

I don't like the tails and nose covered on an aesthetic POV,

But seeing as how those areas are some of the most prone to damage, it may be a good idea...

Dunno if you're trying to sell the truck or what the deal is with the sign - but if it was for sale, I'd just do the rockers; looks better that way...

Ok, well here she is -- not sure if I like it yet -- the results came out as I expected though - Any opinions?

keep in mind that these pictures were taken when it was still wet -- it does dry uniform in color.
