That is how mine is done, after I made a couple repairs. It still looks the same as when I did it 2 years ago. Took 5 spray bomb cans (used 4 1/2) and got a nice textured finish on it. Stop by for coffee night sometime if you want to see it. The Back Country 4x4 Club will be at the Tim Horton's in Bedford by Canadian Tire tomorrow evening at 7:00ish. I will be there if you want to drop out, or any Wednesday the NSJC crew is there too.

There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

it's all about paint preparation and don't cheap out and use that Dupli-Color bed armor junk use the Canadian made stuff x2. I had a '98 GMC 2500 and I did the entire truck. I used the dupli-color in the bed itself, did 2 coats, and it didn't take much to scratch/peel it up. I sprayed the entire body and frame with the good stuff,1 coat, and you could pretty much take your keys to it and not hurt it. It seen 5 years of service hauling hardwood/scrap metal/rock, you name it. The dupli-color in the bed pretty much wore completely off, but the body held up nicely, even in spots that got dented. |

Mine is going on the jeep this weekend - washed, sanded, rinsed and dried thoroughly before painting. Hoping the EZ liner holds up. I used 7 cans of EZ liner for the JKU roof, but could probably have used less.
