Bed liner spray is the most popular way to protect truck beds. As expensive as trucks are, how can you beat up an unprotected bed? A spray on pickup bed liner is sprayed on the bed to become a permanent coating for the truck bed. Most often the bed liner spray is applied professionally, but you can do it yourself.
Two big names in spray on bed liners are Line-X and Rhino Coatings. You can probably find a dealer near you. Line-X finishes are smoother in texture. Rhino now offers several different finish options including one that is very much like the texture of the Line-X.
A spray in bed liner can usually be finished in two or three hours for a one day turn around time. Rhino Coatings and Line-X both advertise their finishes as environmentally friendly, because the materials are 100 percent solids.
Whether you hire someone to apply your bed liner spray or do it yourself, masking of the bed is very important. The bed liner spray material is meant to really stick and be hard to remove. So you don't want overspray and spray drift ending up all over your truck. Overspray can be removed, but it's best that it not be there to start with.
The bed liner spray on material available for owner application is described as polyurethane. So it's a tough paint material with some kind of texture in it. Different manufacturers recommend different spray equipment. Some recommend an undercoating gun. Others suggest a particular nozzle. Whatever product you choose, check the recommendations.
Another option is a roll on bed liner. Coatings designed for roll on are available. My sons just installed a roll on bed liner in our old family truck. The bed liner looks almost as good as my neighbor's Line-X! The only problem...it makes the rest of the truck look bad!
Be warned. An inexpensive roll on bed liner might cost you a new paint job. You'll want to make the rest of your truck look as good as the new bed!
