Polyurea is not just for beds. Bumpers, rocker panels, cab corners and inner wheel wells take stone chips, salt and slush all winter, and they are where many trucks start to rust. Adding them while the truck is in for a liner costs less than a separate visit. Bumpers are $85 each, rockers and cab corners $150, and inner wheel wells $90, all plus HST.
Why these spots wear first
Look at an older truck in a Muskoka parking lot in March. The rust is rarely in the middle of a door. It is along the rocker panels below the doors, at the cab corners behind them, around the wheel arches, and on the bumpers. These are the lowest parts of the truck and the ones closest to the tires, so they take the most stones, sand, salt and slush.
Once a stone chip breaks the paint, brine gets in and stays. Over a few winters, that chip turns into a bubble, and the bubble turns into a hole.
What we can coat
Bumpers, $85 each
Coating the front or rear bumper protects it from stone chips and scrapes, and gives a blacked-out look that matches the bed. Priced per bumper.
Rocker panels and cab corners, $150
The low panels under the doors and the corners behind the cab. These are classic rust spots on pickups. A layer of polyurea takes the stone and salt instead of the paint.
Inner wheel wells, $90
The inside of the wheel wells gets sandblasted by the tires every time you drive. Coating them helps protect the metal and can cut some road noise.
Fender flares, nerf bars and trim
These are quoted per piece. Running boards and nerf bars get a grippy surface that helps in snow and mud.

Why add them at the same time
Most of the cost of any coating job is prep and setup. When the truck is already in the bay for a bed liner, the masking and equipment are already set up, so adding a bumper or rockers is quicker than doing them on their own later. It also means one drop-off instead of two.
Adding a piece or two usually still fits in a same-day visit for standard and UV beds, but tell us when you book so we can plan the day. If you are adding several pieces, we may ask for a little more time.
What to check first
Coating over rust that is already active is a waste of money. Before we coat a rocker or cab corner, we look at the metal. Light surface rust can be sanded back and treated. If the panel is soft, bubbled through or has holes, it needs body repair before any coating. We will tell you straight when we see it.
Quick answers
Will coated rockers look odd?
They are black and textured, the same as the bed. On most trucks it looks like a deliberate two-tone. If you are unsure, ask to see a sample when you drop off.
Does the warranty cover add-ons?
Ask us about the specific piece when you book. Stone impact damage on any coating is not covered.
Rust in the bed itself is covered in the rust nobody warns you about.
