I am considering getting some diamond plating from my local surplus yard, either 1/8" aluminum or 1/4" steel to use on the YJ, primarily on the rocker panels to cover up some old bolt holes.
What is the best way to protect the paint/metal underneath from rust and such? I saw some tough guard gasket on quadratec.com that is supposed to go between the diamond plate and body, does anyone have experience with this? Are there better options?
Also, it would be silver, and I would prefer it to be black. Any suggestions on what works best, lasts longest? Thinking maybe spray paint, herculiner, or maybe even powder coating if it's cheap enough....
Thanks!
