DIY bedliner on the 1st Gen

Figure some of you may like to see the results incase you are looking into bedliners.

I used..http://www.secondskinaudio.com/produ...y-bedliner.php

Here is my write up and review of their product.
I will start with the installation, and then I will reply back in a few weeks to let you know how it is doing.


So I first sand blasted my bed, since it had some thick paint already on it, then I sanded it and then cleaned it.. WOW that was a lot of work..

after all the prep was done I taped off the truck and got to work.. I wanted to go over the bed rails since my bed rails were already scrtach and I knew I would probably get more scratches in the future.

So the bad news is I lost all the pics during the prep process.. CRAP

So I tokk the camera back outsdie today and took new pics of the finished truck..
this is up close shot


another up close to show texture

here are a few more pics





and here is with flash on so you can see it really is BLACK





As for a review.. this stuff is AWESOME..

It was very easy to work with, went on very easy..
If I get another truck I would buy this and do it again.. well worth it..

So in a few weeks look for my response on how it holds up..

Thanks for reading..
