Would you just deal with this tonneau cover color mismatch?

It almost matches your custom license plate, leave it.

Seriously, for the $200 you paid for it, just leave it for now. Don't worry about what other people think. You never know, someone with that color truck may be looking for that exact color and may make you a hell of an offer. Using a bedliner coating is a good idea if you have the money to spend, but i've seen lots of bedliner coated parts turn gray after being in the sun and not having a UV coating applied, so take that into consideration. Anyways, everyone has opinions. It's an 11 year old truck - use it like a truck and don't worry about it. Oh yeah, I just switched to an iPhone, I guess we can't be besties

 

Yeah that's kind of the same conclusion I've reached, I'm going to be standing on this thing, sawing wood, doing very un-Christian like things and the list goes on and on. I would rattle can it but I don't think that will be as durable to abuse as the factory paint so I can't see a good point in doing so. Next thing I'm putting on the truck are some sliders so I figure it like the money I save are cosmetic things can go to things like the sliders and 5100s and actually be put to good use.

Lot of people have been taking the iPhone IQ test, I see little value in a $1,000 emoji maker but they're awesome for kids and social media nuts. I'll judge you but not super hard, unless you vertical film too, then I'll judge hard!

 

Paint it or dip it white to keep the bed cooler...
