So I finished up my box and I didn't really want to carpet it. I realllly didn't want to leave it bare MDF so I just slapped some roll on bedliner on it. Needless to say it looks terrible. Granted my prep work was sub par. I need to pull it out this winter and do a little body work. Round off some stuff. What would be something better to paint it with, to give it the bedliner texture?

Well thanks man! I just want to take it out and smooth up some edges here and there. I just dont want to go back with that roll on stuff. Is there any spray options that offer better texture?

That bed liner came out like crap, sweet box though. I used some cheap vinyl from a fabric store and stapled it on. Came out pretty good. I used a flap disk and did a quick rounding of the edges before I put it on.

Smooth everything out w/ some filler or bond whatever. Either keep your corners crisp or round them. Once smoothed and feeling sexy get that rattle can spray on bed liner. Paint up to desired look.

Could even get yourself some carbon fabric some resin and make it carbon fiber.

Well I started smoothing it out. The filler is the body work I'm talking about doing. Ha I really want to go with the bedliner A: for looks cause my truck looks some-what off-roadish*
B: because I do throw an axe, high lift, and gear bag back there pretty regularly. But you're right Dylan it came out horrible, ha!
