    Planning to upgrade to Tacoma, sell off '88, so want to keep bed repairs cheap (read, no LineX)

    I sanded off bed rust, sampled textured spray shown below, but I think the black spray might devalue a white truck.

    maybe best to just sand off bed rust, leave it at that.

    I don't think black would devalue the truck. Black and white look good together. If you did a good job, it might increase the value of the truck. BTW, does the company that makes the spray you're using make a white bedliner?

    +1 Most bed liners are black anyway unless you special order color matched somehow (ie, colored LineX or whatever). Even our 05+ with composite bed are black regardless of the vehicle color.
