Thanks for the kind words, guys!
I used some Plastikote rust converter on, well, some rusty spots. I'm amazed at how well those spots look after the "treatment" I've been going along the bed where the 147 holes are--yes I counted them. He made and mounted 2 different tonneau covers on it. Getting the rust stopped, going to finish prepping this week and next, then shoot a coat of low gloss equipment enamel on it so I can get some pics taken for insurance.
It's 5 different colors, including the rust, so I'd be lucky to get it insured for $10.
