Ok, my truck has been put to use and it has gained quite a bit of rust spots over the years. I have had the idea of fixing these spots then bedlining my whole truck grey with Upol Raptor liner. I'd just like to get a discussion going to help make up my mind and see the challenges in this. So what do you guys think about redlining a truck.

There are a couple guys on here that have their whole truck done in bedliner. I’ve seen a couple of trucks and a jeep done locally in line x and it really looks good.

I have my rocker panels bedline and it holds up well there other guys that have there whole truck the only negative is cleaning is really tough but other than that it looks bad ass and very durable against the elements 370334740c4850724011127005796021.jpg

I think it looks pretty sweet, just don't know if it will turn out good with the DIY route. However, I have everything I need and would really like to give it a try. Surely Bedliner doesn't show many mess ups and is easy to spray on?

I did mines myself it’s actually a lot easier than paint but it’s still possible to mess up I would say practice on something small once you get it down then your good

Super easy to do.scuff jt really good .and keep the gun at the same distance from the surface your spraying..and Do NOT WAVE your arm left and right across your body .that makes a rainbow motion.which sprays heavy at top of arch and thin left and right.think like the car auto car wash .and it will come out great .im no painter but i went for it.to save it from the north idaho rust..bought it rust free in Arizona.and wanted to keeep it that way...this is so worth the effort.never take a work truck to get painted again .and its tough as hell .had a brick fall off a fence and bounce off my fender. Only a graze mark that was wiped off with acetone.softens it up and makes it workable to a degree.
