Best Low budget bed liner options?

[Chris Stierman]

I already installed a Tonneau cover but whoever had the truck before me scratched the crap out of the bed. I'm not going to do a $500+ spray in liner on something I never see. I'm seeing two options. Either sand and paint the scratches with a generic white paint and throw in a plastic bed liner OR sand the whole thing and put in a cheap roll in or spray in bed liner.   Either will work for what I need, I don't use the bed much, and when I do it is stuff in boxes or totes so I don't need the bed protection. I just don't want it to get scratched and rust with light usage.  

 

I'd rather have a harder gritty bedliner, think paint with sand mixed in, than a rubbery soft one.  Anything fit the bill?

Try this and let us know how it works:

Raptor liner, that's what I would do.

 

One 4L kit should do the bed of your truck. Can pick from black and white. I believe you can spray it in or roll it on. Either way you need to take the time to prep the bed, sand/scuff the whole thing and degrease it.

  That  might work. I kind of like the idea of doing white since it is a white truck and $149 is a good price.

Watch some youtube video's, they are helpful and show the outcome.

 

I did a roll on bed liner years ago with rhino liner and it came out okay but this stuff looks way better. The prep time is the longest part. Sure it takes a couple hours but if it saves a ton of money it's worth it to me.

You get what you pay for when it comes to bed liners.

The Duplicator bed armor is pretty tough. Just prep the surface really good.
