    I would much rather just vinyl wrap it in tan color if it’s what you want. Bedliner is a huge commitment.

    I would be doing all of the work on my own, I tried wrapping a car I had in the past with a lot of difficulty and it turned out badly. That said, it would be more cost effective for me to bedline it myself than to pay someone to wrap it. And I like how it looks with the texture anyways. I'll either leave it or bedline it.

    Here is my 1988 hunting rig that I used Hurculiner on, when I got the truck the white paint was not very good. So I sanded it down some, an rolled the black liner on. Then I painted it tan with a brush really good with polyurethane car paint, sprayed it a couple times with clear to seal it. If my truck looked as nice as yours does, I never would have done this to it. But I have seen alot of trucks done professionally that looked great. Mine is a hunting truck, I like it like this.

    I did it to my truck when I needed a new paint job and love it. It cost $2500 at a pro line-x shop versus a $4k regular paint job. I only need to powerwash my car it for 15 minutes and done with it looking shiny new. No scrubbing, drying, etc.

    I also don't have to worry about where I park it and getting it scratched up by some other vehicle banging their door into me. With a new regular paint job, I would be paranoid about getting little scratches on it.
