Default Bedliner on entire truck or no?

Has anyone with a 9th gen bedlinered their entire truck? Im curious to see how it would look.. or even an all black truck? What do you guys think? I want to hear your pros and cons. I know it would be hot as hell in the summer but i live in washington and it rarely gets above 90. And ive heard radar guns dont work on trucks with it because the signal cant bounce off lol. Thanks

This was my first f150. Whole truck was herculined, the truck started to just rot out on the fenders and cab corners, and its a PITA to remove.

(what you see in the picture on the cab corner wasnt there when i purchased the truck)

I like your particular truck. I don't usually like the bed liner exterior unless it's all black or even battleship grey. I saw a Tundra a little while back with the bottom half done in spray on bed liner and it was about 1/4" thick. It was the most horrible thing I'd ever seen and it was brand new. The guy had to have left the dealer and went straight to his neighborhood shade tree body guy. There is no way Toyota or any other company would do a truck like that. It looked like asphalt spread on with a trowel.

If I had the funds, I'd bedline my whole truck like yours. Wish I'd have had it done while pushing trees down on the deer trail this morning. Gonna have to go get some more 99 cent spray paint tomorrow.

Personally I think doing the entire truck looks dumb. However, certain areas can look pretty cool and serve function. I did the rockers on my 95 F150 (after fixing the cab corner rust you referred to). I also have a 04 dually where I did the fiberglass dual skirts and it looked good.
