    I would love to Raptor line someone else’s truck. I considered it for some time but chickened out. If I screwed it up I would never forgive myself and I don’t imagine it can easily be removed. Good luck

    ... bed lining the whole truck is one thing but when it comes to just bed lining only the inside of the bed .. . why not just throw in a heavy duty made to fit rubber floor mat ??? If the next owner doesn't care for it he just picks it up.

    I was at a crossroads myself. Just elected to get a MAACO special back to OEM.

    Some folks Taco’s come out amazing though. I just know I’d jack it up. Haha.

    *With Mil discount* - I painting the whole truck for under $1400. I didn’t think it was too bad.

    I should add mine is a natural white truck staying natural white. So I’m not sure if that would spike in prep work getting all the other body parts prepped for one color shot.

    I decided to get a little practice prepping and spraying my snugtop. It was lunar mist silver before but the gel coat was peeling

    Yes, it always fades even the people who say it doesn't come back a year later saying it's faded

    Smart man and good job with the practice of prepping and spraying. Lets not forget the masking tape routine as well. Surprising how some folks have a hard time with that. Clean sharp edges look good.

    Didn’t read any posts but the title. Saw this at harbor freight today. Had to do a double take but thought it looked like shit, figured I'd share.

    Raptor claims to have the same UV stability as automotive paint. A lot of the land cruiser guys on IH8MUD had done frame off rotisserie restorations using raptor liner for the frame, tubs, body, etc dating back to 2010 with good review to this day.

    a quote from my initial post.
    "Let me start by saying I despise Most bed-liner paint jobs.
    I can’t stand when people get lazy and spray over plastic trim, bumpers, door handles, etc.
    my plan is it respray the truck and treat it like a complete repaint.
    Bed, hood, doors will all be removed. Door Jams, insides of doors, will all be resprayed. I plan on using a the U-pol tintable raptor liner kit in white."

    I’d be curious to see how flammable some of these are. Welding in my bed I noticed just tacking in a couple spots without a welding blanket had sparks catching fire in the previous owner’s aftermarket spray in bed liner. I looked it up, but couldn’t find information about it easily.
