drof46,

I thought about that and have tried to think of how I could incorporate a couple of drain holes short of drilling a couple of holes. Either way I should have probably done that before I lined the bed. Oh well I guess I will have to sidestep the clutch every once in a while and get the water out the back.

psmith012,
I talked with the Raptor Rep and he told me that a lot of companies that install these bedliners will mix silica (Sand) into the bedliner product to thicken and make more of a buildable coating process. The other thing I learned is that with different distances from the surface and pressures you can get different paterns of spray. When I look at the sides of my bed it looks different than the bottom of the bed. That is probably because I didn't keep the distance I was shooting constant but its all a learning process. The other thing I learned is that its important to pull your masking off as soon as possible as it will create fine hairs when you pull it off if its not wet enough. Also make sure you cover the outer surfaces of your truck because there is a fine mist that occurs when your spraying as I found out the next day when I started to buff my truck out. I used 1500 grit sandpaper and it took the small amount of overspray off the paint without much a problem but these are good things to know before you start spraying one of these into your truck. I hope some of the do it yourselfers will learn from my mistakes.
