Tint a sprayable bedliner?
One thing I have left to do is spray in a new bedliner. I had a buddy do it over 10 years ago and it was looking faded and beat up a little so I am going to be tackling that in next week or so. I do have some paint left over (a little over a qt) but don't want to end up with a sick gray looking mess. Has anyone ever tried to match paint with bedliner and have any tips?

UPOL Raptorliner sells a tintable bedliner. There may be others, this is just the one I use. A clearish color made to mix with auto paints and UV resistant. Not to be confused with the normal black.

Thanks, I decided to use google *gasp* and found that exact brand on Ebay pretty reasonable with instructions on how to mix. I do believe I will be using that.....only thing with this pearl being a 3 stage paint I am unsure how to make it look like the truck instead of bright white. I am thinking if I mix the pearl in with the paint it should be pretty close.

I used this (Rock-it)
SEM Products | Automotive Repair and Refinishing Products
rolled it on. But, like paint, it will show scratches if you slide stuff on it.

Well I bought the Raptor from Upol, got a kit and tinted like the instructions. Only thing was my bed was black from original bedliner so it had some spots that weren't completely filled in white. I managed to get my hands on a single bottle and touched it up. I would recommend using 2 full gallons with a color change. I looks good but not sure how durable this stuff would be. I don't plan on abusing it so it should be fine.....looks nicer than black bed with white truck imho

MonstaLiner is another brand of tintable bed liner type material--pretty cool stuff actuall: Monstaliner do-it-yourself roll-on truck bed liner outperforms Herculiner Bed Liner, Duplicolor and Rustoleum Road Warrior

Seems like Monstaliner and this Raptor stuff are worth looking into.

I really like my bedrug......I have hauled steel, wood, sod & concrete...never an issue but I do lay a tarp down with dirt so it makes cleanup easier.

I haven't put anything in bed that can actually scratch it so I can't comment on durability. My gut says it would probably scuff if I were hauling concrete blocks or something........

Just curious if bedrug will help trap the water underneath it.

No...there is a dense foam type backing which is designed to match the bed, making the surface dead smooth.....water to date has not penetrated and there is no moisture issue.
