At about $200 for a set of fender flares if you don't get some used or boneyard ones, I'd seriously consider having it color match bed-lined where the flares would go, to cover up your work and add very good protection....if you repair the rust properly.
Bonus, if you have damage that is or will be rusting on the rockers and bottom edges, you could prep those areas as well and have them sprayed.
If a big truck bed runs around $1000 to bed liner, including prep, I'd think you could get a little bit sprayed, already prepped and masked off by you for about the same $.
Define "properly." If I were to fix it PROPERLY, the rusty metal would be cut out and replaced with new, painted to match, and I would not want or need fender flares to cover anything up.
That's going to cost me a few thousand dollars, which I do not have or want to spend on this truck. It has already let me down twice in the last 1000 miles with stuck lifters. I just want to cover up the rust and pawn it off on some unsuspecting car salesman.
