Anyone have any experience with covering an entire truck with these types of commercial bed liners instead of traditional repainting?

Pros cons?

Price compared with traditional paint?

Thanks,

 

It would be really heavy. Probably would impede shutting doors because it's so thick. I don't know if you would do the inside of the door jams and all but it would be very expensive. Now, probably not more than a good paint job though... Good paint on a F250 ~ guessing 5-10k. Not a Maaco job.

 

i did the lower half of my truck with rustolum spray on bed liker and it turned out really good-i did my '96 f-150 and it held up extreamly well-even eith my abuse

 

I have used rustolium bed liner quite a bit as well. It really does look awesome if you use about 10 light coats. Like $6.50 a can too. Also, if area gets scratched, you cab re paint with it. It will blend right in.

 

I saw a Tundie completely Line-x'd online once.

 

I have seen both used, but never on the whole truck, usually just the lower panels. The products are twin brothers from different mothers, but I personally prefer Line-X. I don't think that either is worth the cost (figure $450-500 for just a bedliner) unless you are doing some serious offroading or put in most of your miles on unpaved roads.

Give you an idea of what it would look like
