bed liner for paint

hey guys

while here in texas i've seen one or two cars that have been painted with bedliner, then painted over with normal paint for colour. It's mainly done on cars that see a lot of commercial work hauling stuff on the rigs here. It looks stupid at first but it's damn hard wearing, and easy to clean. After you get used to it actually doesn't look all that bad and would be good for hardcore bush rigs etc back here at home.

Are you sure it's bedliner with paint over the top?

Regular paint won't like sitting on bedliner, it will take heaps of flex agent to make it stay on and most of these urethane products release vapour which will reject paint for up to years after application- it will fall off.

Rhino lining is available in any colour - they mix pigment into it. Plenty of cars and parts of cars have been painted in it in all sorts of colours.

Petersens pulled all the plastic on their Avalanche a few years ago and painted all the areas that were covered by plastic in Rhino lining.
