Ya I know I'm planning on flat black for the paint so I'm thinkin that the flat black on the gloss black will look good

I agree. And if you don't detail it, it'll be matt black soon enough!

Not sure that you can weld that pot metal? But you could countersink the hole on both sides and then fill it with JB Weld.

Heck no, your right, free metal is free metal. Doesn't matter where. As long as the rust gets cut out
What bed liner did you go with?
