Spray on bed liner

Hey guys,
Has anyone here applied a spray on bed liner in their bed rather than painting it? If you have, can you post some pics?

Randy

This is obviously not the bed but I sprayed bed liner on the underside of my panel over epoxy primer. I don't think it should be sprayed over bare metal. Scuff the surface with 80 grit paper and wipe with a wax/grease solvent and go to it. Mask off where you don't want it applied. Remove the masking as soon as possible so the tape doesn't bond to the liner. There are many on here that have applied it to thier beds, you have the option of spraying( which I prefer) or roll it on.

On my blue truck I used the tint-able type on the sides and front inside the box. You just add paint color to it and roll or spray it on. Matches perfect since you are using the body color. I am really happy with it. Will look for a pic....

What type of spray equipment do you need. Where is this purchased. Thinking about it for parts on my build. I have regular guns and tips.

I did. I used the tintable kind on the inside of my bed and also on my running boards. I dont have to tell people not to step on them, it looks good and works well.

Pic's in my gallery.

I used the regular black stuff on my running boards as well. I t covered the minor imperfections and it can be stepped on. One thing I don't like about the black is it is fading and looks kinda chalky. I will have to re-coat I suppose....

You will need to pick up a schutz gun. Depending where you pick one up it is usually under $30 most I've seen don't come with a can so you'll have to purchase one seperately or buy a can of rock gaurd or rust inhibitor. Sprays usually between 40-60 psi. I like spraying it better than rolling it on because of the texture you get but it is best done outside because it's messy, if you do it in your shop you better cover everything you don't want it on.

Hey Randy,
We used a spray on product called "Toff" for our 1950 F1. We put in on the bed, running boards, & the inside of the cab - floors & ceiling.
We love the rough & ready look. This one seems to go on a little easier & smoother.

Ben, Just emailed TOFF, they will get back to me. Did you actually do TOFF or was it done in a shop. It does not appear that they sell it to individuals

Hey Jim,
I had a guy do the bedliner texture as part of the overall paint job on the truck. Too tricky for me - trying to figure out where to stop the texture on the Bed is worth some thought. We went over the top rail & stopped it in the seam on the outside of the bed.

I've been very pleased with this product - it still looks nice 1 year out.

Good luck over there.
