I've always wondered if the coating on the vans they sell is the same as
the coating they sell in a kit. The reason I wonder is I would assume they
have a body shop do most of the body repairs, prep and paint as well as the
lining on the rocker panels. Usually those 3rd party companies use a brand
of spray liner that is not available in small kits.

I haven't paid much attention to the rocker panels on gowesty vans in
person but defintiely plan to take a closer look at Syncrofest.

Also I've seen a ton of vans done in various brand bedliners and the one I
like the most so far is TuffSkin based out of Long Beach CA and Phoenix AZ.
In fact I'm trying to plan my trip so I can make a stop in and have my
rocker panels prepped and sprayed there in Phoenix.
