I saw this and Im pretty sure I plan on doing the same thing. Except Im gonna use black instead of the lighter color this guy did. Its not everyones cup of tea but when you're sick and tired of dents and scratches all the time, its understandable why this guy (and myself) are wanting to do this type of paint.

Not a fan myself. I've seen plenty of trucks painted in bedliner at car shows, it just doesn't look right. I think it'll look even worse on a car.



People in Georgia do that kinda stuff. Easier to pressure wash it off after you've been muddin'



Also, I think it would be difficult to prep since bedliner is meant to fill in crevices and harden - it may mold all your body panels together if you aren't careful.

i like it alot, there is a couple jeeps on my jeep forums that are done with line-X.. they look pretty cool in my opinion and don't really have to worry about dings, dents and scratches.



you can get different kinds of bedliners with different 'grit' factors also so if you want a more textured or more smooth look theres the option.
