Negative. I had thought about it, but really liked the way the Rust-oleum bedliner went on the body so that what I'm using on the top since I ave a gallon to use.

It's advertised as a "bedliner" but feels more like a concrete non-slip surface paint. Texture is very fine.

Used a roller for the first coat. Bought a sponge roller thinking that would help. Didn't cover very well had to go over it really quick with 100G after it dried.

Did second coat with 4" brush. Takes longer but covers so much better, easier to fade out brush strokes too. May hit that with 220G after it dries, not sure yet.

Will put third, final coat on tomorrow.....then on to cab.


Did the window trim w/Plasti-Dip

1Gal Rust-oleum is $45 at Wal-Mart (also avail in qt's), two cans of Plasti-Dip and some elbow grease: pretty much gave me an entire new look to my truck

Not too bad. I think when the top gets put back on is when the full effect will be seen.....

I just set myself on fire while cutting a notch in the tailgate so that I could take advantage of the quick removal trunnion I picked up at the yard a couple of weekends ago...
