The paint on my 2door has seen better days. Thinking of going with a bedliner paint job. What do you offroad guys think?

If you're talking about all over do NOT do it!! That will completely kill any kind of resale value you hope to have and it'll look hideous....

have come across a couple that looks decent and far from "hideous" but i would not do it to my hoe.

however, i do plan to cover all the silver on my truck along with the bumpers in bedliner (silver if i can find some) after i get the salt rot cleaned up. big thread about it in the general section if you want to search for it.

The bedliner will age in the sun and look "ashy" just like truck beds get. Paint is much easier to keep up, ages better, looks better. Once you do bedliner on the truck, you really can't go back to paint.

When I redo the body on mine, I have thought about line-xing the rockers and fender flares (when I get them). Then repainting the rest of the truck the original victory red color. My buddy from college had this set up on his OBS Silvy and I thought it looked awesome. Definetley wouldn't do the entire truck, but its your truck, do as you please.

Nice screen name by the way :Handshake:
