Afficionado Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I drive a 2002 Black grand am and the paint job is pretty scratched up and the paint is peeling all over. I'm not willing to put a nice new paint job on it because i know with how i am and others in my house hold it will get scratched up in no time. Besides that, I'm pretty excited to have bed liner on it because i think it would be pretty cool. Also, my brother has worked at a body shop for around 5ish years and has been the painter for 1-2 now, so i will have his help with all of this. I'm not sure if anyone on this forum has ever painted their car in bed liner, but if so, i would appreciate any tips and advice. Probably the most important thing to know is, what would be the best bed liner for this application? Anything else you can think of, let me know! If you have any questions relating to nutrition, lifting, or health in general, feel free to give me a PM and I will give you straight forward advice with no BS involved.

Borris The Blade Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I did a bit of research on that last year and from what I've found is prep-work is key in it lasting. Sand until your think your done then sand some more. Granted that was with the roll on type, spray may need less or more and may have a better finish. It's like rubbing your wiener up against a sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm no painter...

Popwarhomie Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Are you planning on keeping it forever? Cause it might kill your resale value. I agree with plastidip. Cheap, easy to use, and you can remove and change colors whenever you want. 2010 Focus coupe- 8 12" wall. 157.5@46hz 2016 Focus ST - SQ build.

Afficionado Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Never bed lined, but a cheaper and better alternative might be plati dip! I think bed lining on a car wouldn't look too good, imo I actually talked to my brother about this, whether i should plasti dip or bedline. But he said that bed liner would hold up better which is KEY. also, it would be tougher against scratches and what not. plus i think the textured look would be really unique. Are you planning on keeping it forever? Cause it might kill your resale value. I agree with plastidip. Cheap, easy to use, and you can remove and change colors whenever you want. I paid $325 for my car and have used it for over a year now. If i get no money whatsoever for the car, it's not that big of a deal to me. I'm no painter... But what I'd do is rough up the surface with sand paper, wash the dust off, wipe the car free oil oil with isopropyl alcohol and go at it lol, this is basically what my brother who is a painter said. he's like "with bed liner you don't need to be THAT meticulous.

Robert8252 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Also mythbusters just did a test on if bed liner made the car panels and bumper stronger in impacts and it did better than i thought it would. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
