What did you do to your truck today?

Changed out my front shocks today. Pretty simple, and I went with some HD shocks from Rock. I still have the rear set on the way, but those alone sure made a huge difference!
I wouldn't use that stuff in your bed. You'll want monster liner or al's liner. I would do the tailgate handles and door handles gloss black and maybe some other pieces so it doesn't look like the whole truck was dipped in a can of matte black paint.
They make the same coating in OD green, an desert tan thinking of doing some accents in one of those colors. I think it would hold up fine to the sun, but unless you put like four or five coats on don't know how durable it would be. I have three on my inside of the tailgate I will post back to see how well it holds up.
I have a drop in plastic liner, but there was nothing on the tailgate. That's why I used the spray on stuff. Plus I wanted to see how it would look before I decided to use it on the rest of the truck.

Lookin good BLD! It was perfect here today, so I sanded down the inside of the tailgate an sprayed it with rustoleum truck bed coating. Two heavy coats of the stuff turned out great. This was a test to see how it covers an looked. I like it a lot, an after doing a bit of bodywork to remove some dings I will be painting the whole truck with it. Then doing a camo vinyl strip on the bottom.

Yes sir rattle canned, an it was indeed from Walmart. If I remember correctly it was $6.49 a can. I used a can an 1/8 of a second to put three coats on the inside an two coats on the outside of my tailgate. They also have a professional grade of the same stuff but it was $11.99 a can. From what I have read online not much difference in the two in spray form. They also sell it in a paint can but I do not own a spray gun so I went with rattle cans.
