you can buy Bedliner in a can for like $9 a piece but it goes on thin in my opinion. buy it in the quart can and use a small roller to put it on. much nice when done. more effective as a liner and not exspensive black paint

don't use the foam ones !!! trust me !!! use the little 3" nap ones, just like the larger ones only smaller. the Bedliner eats the foam on the roller due to the chemical reactions. it's make the little plastice tray it comes in "squishy" too

Oh okay! I need to look local for the bedliner. I want to do mine. Their faded, and it makes it look terrible. Do you wet sand first? And then clean with thinner before painting?

scuff it up with the green part of your kitchen sponge (yeah you know what i'm talking about) then wipe it down with rubbing alcohol or any type of thinner de greaser, then paint away.

I washed, sanded, washed, used alcohol, and then painted. It has held up extremely well on the metal. A little flaking on the plastic parts. If I could do it over again I would buy a gallon rather than a quart and I would do like 8 layers rather than 2. I defenitely recommend the duplicolor kit, it comes with everything you need. Keep extra for touch ups. I did my mirrors, fenderflares and bumpers too. Use blue painters tape and make sure your lines are straight.

Mothers works, but you DO have to reapply it. but everytime you apply it, the time it takes to fade back increases. for example, when i first put it on my jeep , they would fade back within two weeks. after a while when the plastic has soaked up some B2B over time, it now stays for like 2 months and never fades back as light as it was originally.
