BED LINER

I was thinking about putting bed liner in my green 51 .That way i can use it to haul things and not worry about skinning it up. I was already going to put it on the running boards so why not the bed also. My old lab [bluedog] is having trouble getting in my 03 fx4. He is a good dog he never jumps up on the sides anyway. I wouldn't mine painting the liner green to match the truck but what kind of paint would be best to apply to the lining ? Was going to ask the paint store guys but thought i would run this by yall. I planed on buying my tomboy backwoods 17 year old baby girl a car when she is done with school but she wants my fx4 so this green 51 will end up being my everyday driver. POOR ME !!!! LOL LOL So who has painted their bed lining ?????

Are you thinking about a spray in bed liner like rhinogaurd? If so maybe
they can tint it for you

If your not going to haul big big rocks or old engine blocks you mite try rocker panel guard . It sprays on nice sticks to everything and is paintable.

I found this thread helpful

I found the help that I needed here in this bedliner thread. It is only one of many similar threads. I haven't ordered my Durabek but that is how I am leaning. I'm just waiting on pay day to put it into an order.
