Painting the floor of a '99 Jeep with truck bed liner, do I have to "plug" any holes?
I'm using Rustoleum's Road Warrior, and ripping out the carpet of my '99 Wrangler. I saw someplace someone selling "plugs" for the floor. Do I need them when I pull up the carpet? Do I have to know anything else before I do?

they are drain holes for water that may get into your jeeps tub remove them before painting then re install them when you're done

Not familiar with that specific product, but you have to pull the rubber drain plugs out they are already there and take out all the bolts that hold in the seats, seat belts etc. and plug them up with something majority of people use masking tape. Rough up the paint anywhere you are going to apply the bed liner with sand paper and clean it with acetone before you apply the liner. Once the bed liner dries you may be able to pull the masking tape out and replace the drain plugs. The bottom line is you have to be sure you remove EVERYTHING on that's going to get covered with the Road Warrior and plug every hole or you will use up lots of time and sweat trying to get the bolts back in or out.
