I wanted to lineX my truck bed, but after finding out what it cost, I decided to give dupli-color rattle can a go. It was on sale for 7 bucks a can at PepBoys, plus another 10% for military discount. Overall it turned out great, as with any paint job, its all about prep work. I used the 80 grit harbour frieght sanding blocks. I used thease all the time, there cheap and do the job well. Next I wiped everything down with denatured alcohol. Then masked everything off. I did the interior as well. I have a few spots that wrinkled. After a few days I'll see what they look like, then hit them with some sandpaper and reshoot. Also on the bed there is some powder type overspray that makes it look darker than other areas, I'll give a few days then hit that with either the water hose or some light sanding. All together I used 11 cans. heres some pics... At the time the pics were taking, It was still wet. I'll take some more today with bed rails up and toolbox installed.
bedliner looks good...the grey patchy areas will fade..its just drying at a different rate due to slight difference in thickness
Yeah Line-X looks great, but just to expensive! Thanks for the tip fupabox, And your right! Went out to check it this morning and it looks much better, So in a few more days I'll call this project done! My next one is installing power door locks, just ordered a kit from Electric-Life. Not alot of room in the door panel, but if there measurements are correct it should fit. I'll try to remember to take some pics of the install.
