Thanks.
I'm not sure what you mean. It was a bolt on Sir Michaels, he welded the seams, ground and filled, primed and painted.

after you weld it in, you fiber glass it to help keep it water proof

you dont need to fiberglass it when you weld it in you fill primer and paint like any other metal part of the truck. i have mine done and ill tell you its much better molded in.

The underside of the pan was sealed and the undercoated. I dont see any fuzzy crap

like i said, its probally the cameras fault, it probally captured to much light reflecting off the corner and distored the colors and made the blur on the lower corner.
but this is what made me say what i said...

it just looked like it was touched up by an amature chopper, not sayin you are, im just saying what it lookd like to me...

The lower right corner is my black steel ehaust exiting behind the rear wheel but I cant see any issue with the paint on the truck there. Lighting was bad with 95* sunshine directly overhead. I will have t check it out closely next time i'm out, or washing it.
