Default Bedliner Body Work

Has anybody bed lined any part of the truck besides the bed? How did it hold up? How does it look? How much did you pay? I've been considering bed lining my brush guard, fender flares, bumpers, and side steps.

I've only got 2¢ on this topic, but I wouldn't try anything that's plastic, so I'd say the brush guard, fine; the bumpers, yes, but only the metal part - same with the side-steps, and I personally wouldn't try on anything that can flex and crack the bed lining (people have, but I'm not sure if it would last). As far as cost goes, I would spend ~$100 at the auto parts store for DIY stuff, but your other option is to stop by a shop & ask. I've seen where guys have liner-ed the bottom belt of the truck & I think it looks pretty sick.

Good thread:

i used spray on bed liner for my bumpers rockers and flares, so far mine has held up great. love the textured look and very durable.

That looks really good. What bed liner did you use? Was if hard to put on? How long does it take to dry?

rustoleom truck bed liner cans, it wasnt bad, takes time though taping everything off and covering the truck with plastic, make sure you scuff before you paint if you do any sort of offroading.. i made the mistake of just washing the truck and painting and when i went mudding with my buddies it chipped off like an sob! lol so had to redo it.. hard lesson learned, and it dries to touch in half hour to an hour

haha I wonder if it'll work on chrome bumpers? I'm doing my fender flares for sure, and I wanted to do my sidesteps and bumpers.

its a stock lariat hood, had tan/chrome grille looked gay imo so painted black, and got some lund hood scoops that had a whole in them and were scratched for free, so i fiberglassed the whole and bed lined them.. turned out badass imo lol, also did my gas cap too.
