for those with sidemarkers... do you have rust problems?
i was thinking of installing my sidemarkers today. i had it for a year now(still dont have the ***** to cut my fenders yet). i found this paint that supposedly protects bare metal.. what do you think? do you think i need it or will the touch up paint do?

No rust, had mine almost 3 years now, through salty winters and whatnot. When we did my sidemarkers we made sure to use touchup paint on every millimeter of bare metal. Also we pulled the wheelwell lining back and ran a bead of silicone around the sidemarker inside the fender.

Rep Power: 787 primer and paint. my holes kinda rough tho so I think some chipped off when I put the marker in. Just check it every so often. It shouldn't be a big problem.
