Just got my truck back from having truck bed liner sprayed.

My neighbor did it for me, he owns a body shop. $250, and I supplied the U-Pol raptor liner kit off of amazon that cost $125.

He did 2 coats with 3oz of sand in the can of paint, then 1 coat with clear added to add some shine.









I couldn't be happier with how it came out. The bed was all scratched up from tossing firewood, coolers, and other camping stuff in it, and I was worried it would start to rust.

Nice!.
That UPOL raptor liner is tintable too.
You can make it the same color as your truck.

I know. My neighbor did his truck bed the same color as the truck and it looked really nice.

My wife didn't like how it looked because it wasn't the same gloss as the rest of the paint, so we agreed to just do it black.

I love your response "your wife didn't like it.....so you agreed"

You never did have a choice

I did have a choice.

I could either do black, or I could listen to her complain about it until we traded the truck in on something else.

Looks great! My truck came with the bed already done from the factory and I like this better than the drop in liners.

Throw a rubber truck bed mat on it and it will last a lot longer. Mine in a thick one. Can't remember what brand it is. I bought it from a commercial truck supply.

I have never asked my wife of 39 years what I could or couldn't do to MY truck....she has the car she wants

Looks good.
I have to say I am not a fan of the spray in bed liner that came with my 2011 RAM 1500, I ended up putting a regular bed liner on top of it.

I actually drive a 2011 Honda Civic. I drive 70 miles each way to work, so I needed something that got decent mileage.

The Truck is the "family vehicle" and the wife drives it most of the time. So we consider it "her" vehicle. Although she drive the civic just as often.

But whatever. I'm not unhappy with the black. If it was that big a deal, I'd have argued. Happy wife, happy life.

HA!...that makes a big difference. I would have gone her way also. BTW, I still would have gone with the black. Looks good

Nice job! I don't have a neighbor who can do this for me so I had Line-x spray in a liner. $500 for my short bed truck plus +$50 to remove and replace the rails for my 5th wheel hitch.. HomeÂ*|Â*LineX

I would never use anything other than Line-X personally. It's very thick and durable. I'm not nice to it at all and have never hurt it. Lifetime warranty also. Hopefully this works out good for you.

I love ours. Had my truck 10 years, and the liner is still in GREAT shape! I USE this truck too. firewood, cinder blocks, sand, dirt, etc. just a hose to wash out and no damage at all. Well worth the cost.

I am a LineX fan as well. Tough. Gas doesn't leave a mark and does scrap or cut

Reflex is good too. Very similar to LineX.
