I’ll be following, would like to do this also but fear if I mess it up it will be a nightmare to fix. I’ve seen a few post that say the prep work is very important, the application not that hard, but when I read something takes 30 minutes I’m still working on it 2 hours later. If you do it yourself, would you post what you did? Thank you & good luck!
I imagine the prep work is the worst part. I have watched a video or two and it looks tedious. I imagine the worst part would be sanding in the tight spots. I am like you though... If I mess something up, what is it going to take/cost to fix it...

Nothing wrong with that, I just chose to save some money, have done it the past and knew I could do it myself .... but for $500 you can't go wrong if a shop is doing it ...
That is actually a good price no lie ... I would jump on it
The bed is actually very easy too ... you don't need to remove the paint at all, you only scuff it up so that the bedliner has something to grab onto ... Raptor bedliner recommends not going down to the metal and just hazing up the clear coat and that is what I did ... the few spots that I did go through the clear and base I used their acid etch primer to cover up the metal spots ....
That looks great!
Thank you
Thank you no they did not do the rail caps I was debating if I should remove them but I decided to keep them on. I think it looks way better now then it did without it.
You get do the bedrails yourself with a can or two of raptor bedliner, just mask everything up, scuff them up and bam! that's what I am going to do to mine, I should of done them when I did my bumpers, grill, fender flares and bed but for some reason I forgot about them when I started masking everything up lol ... once I sprayed the bed and started removing the masking tape and plastic covers I realized I didn't do them lol ...
They leave them on, but I have seen people take them off cover up the holes and spray it and some spray the caps with the bedliner too which is what I am going to do first, if I don't like how they look I will remove them, cover up the holes and spray it
The prep work for me was pretty damn easy at least on the truck bed ... the chrome bumpers were a little more work but so far they are all holding up, even the bedliner on the grille and fender flares which are plastic
