Ozbox, I was being a bit of a smart ass when I made that comment. My daughters HZ ute had one and after a B+S it was almost a bannana. She reckoned that it was only from people sitting on it. Perhaps several people at once.

I stripped the remaining old bog that the bead blasters were to lazy to get out from the tailgate tonight and it doesn't look as bad as we thought. The beater is coming around Monday or Tuesday arvo so I'll get his opinion and if he still thinks a skin is better I'll get one from the "RustaProblem" guys. I definitely think an original one is far superior than the Repo one. Even if its ends up costing a little more than repo for a just the skin.

I actually had a little play with his "Easy Beat" tonight and pulled up lots of those little dings you get from the inside of the tailgate and filed it up. I will try to get some photos up soon.
