    I pulled my bed liner out and discovered lots of leaves and mud. I’m going to leave it off for awhile. I do have some scratches on the bed. Can I find original spray touch up paint. Also, is there a way to stimulate the seat belt retractor to be more active. My belt sometimes has slack and sags

    thanks

    Do a search for Duplicolor (the googles). You can get exact factory paint colors. Hopefully since it's been covered by the bed liner most of its life, it should be too faded so should match.

    As for the seat belt, it probably just needs a good cleaning and re-lubing. I know I've seen a thread from a guy that took it all apart and gave it a good cleaning. I really need to do this to mine, too. Wouldn't hurt to soak the seat belt fabric and clean that too. Mine's getting kinda stiff and gross, lol...

    I also saw a post a while back where a guy said he went to the self service car wash, pulled his seat belt out and spray it with the high pressure soap/rinse.
    Said it worked better after drying.

    As for the paint, some O'reillys make the spray cans. Many auto body paint stores will sell you one. Last one I bought (paint store) was about 5 yrs ago and they charged me $16.00.

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    The last time I bought a can of spray for touch up it was from O'Reilly. The had some hand held reader machine where they enter your paint code, then measure any fade from your existing paint to get a good match. No complaints. Note I think only select stores have someone on duty who can do this type of paint mix.

    Yeah, I know the O'Reillys on my side of town doesn't have one, and I keep forgetting to ask about the others. I know there are 4 in my town, so maybe one will offer it. Others on here have said it's fine for touchup or for trucks with rough body/paint. That covers both my trucks!
