We used Plasti-Kote bed liner paint to coat a truck bed. Get our description of how it worked at this link... A rubber bed mat is another good choice. Check out the details at http://BedLinerForTrucks.com .
Finding heap truck bed liners may be easier than you think. Applying a do it yourself bed liner is one of the best ways. That gets you a cheap bed liner that makes your truck look better, protects the bed and it's easy to do. Here's how to do it...
We just coated our old pickup's bed with bed liner paint and it looks almost like new. It really looks just about like an expensive spray on liner. We just used a roller to put the coating on. You can spray it on if you like, but it's really not necessary. See the paint is very thick. That's why it goes on so easy.
That thick paint includes rubber pieces. That gives it the texture much like a spray on liner. It also makes it very easy to put on. It goes on almost like a paste and covers all kinds of rough places on your bed. Then when the liner paint dries, all the roller marks or even brush marks just even out perfectly.
A coat or two of paint also helps protect your truck bed. It's a great way to stop corrosion and prevent more damage in the future. Here's how a do it yourself bed liner differs from a professional liner. Your coating isn't nearly as thick. The professional liner is up to about 1/4 inch thick. You can't put bed liner paint on nearly that thick so you don't get as much protection. That's the trade-off to save big money.
Putting truck bed paint on is as easy as could be. The hard part is getting ready to put the paint on. You must sand the truck bed and get the finish really rough with an abrasive pad. That's the key to a coating that really sticks. Preparation for painting isn't hard. It just takes some time.
Cheap truck bed liners also include rubber liners and carpet liners too. There's more than one way to get a liner for a little money.
