truck bed refresh, anyone done it?

Hi,

My new-to-me 2020 TRD OR came from a desert climate and was definitely used as a truck. The bed is faded and dirty. Since I just got it, I want to give it a refresh.

I am going to wash it, but I think it will still need some extra love to get looking like I want, which is as close to perfect as possible.

Anyone used solution finish or cerakote on the whole truck bed? I'm wondering how far those cerakote wipes go. I care more about results than total cost, so if I have to buy 3 cerakote kits to get better result than one bottle of solution finish, I'm fine with that.

 

Power wash and roll on some bed liner. That plastic restore stuff is only temporary. You’ll have to keep doing it to make it look new

 

So you're not going to use it as a truck and haul stuff?

Put a tonneau on it and forget it.

If you want it open, do the bedsides with something like www.monstaliner.com and put a bed mat in it to hide the floor.

Cerakote is pretty good for some things, but not that. Well, unless you're flipping the truck and want to woo a buyer.

 

maybe get a Spray in bed liner done to it?

They usually take sandpaper, even to plastic beds, to prep to do that so it really doesn’t matter what it looks like currently.

 

I basically just want it to look like new so i can fuck it up myself. I don't need it to be perfect, but I like a fresh start so I can pretend it is new.

 

We need a damn picture to see what your damn working damn with

 

Put the oem rubber mat in the bed and you won't even know it is faded.

 

Spray in bed liner is the way to go if it will adhere to these composite beds.

 

I like your style.

 

Some plastic can be renewed with heat.

 

Wipe it down with 303.

Works great to restore and protect - but will be slippery as wet ice.

 

Same with the cerakote brand wipes. It’ll look great and last a while but will be slick as shit the whole time
