There are a lot of brands that make bed liner, but people felt that the U-POL Raptor Liner had a little shinier less matte finish than some of the other brands, so that’s what we decided to go with. If you’re not familiar with bed liner, it was created for coating the insides of truck beds, is very scratch/chip resistant, and sprays on with a raised texture. We settled on orange and were planning to do a regular auto gloss paint, but after thinking about how much work it would be to do the kind of prep needed to get a good finish with a gloss paint, we started looking at other options and came across entire vehicles painted with bed liner. Then we decided that if we were going to go through all the effort of painting it ourselves, we wanted to change the color as we’ve always dreamed of having it be something bright and cheerful. Well, last month we decided the time had come to deal with the paint and knew it was going to be crazy expensive to have it done by a paint shop, so decided to do it ourselves. Being an old FedEx van the paint was not in great condition with lots of little dings and chips leading to some rust so we knew we’d paint it someday, but weren’t sure whether to try and do it ourselves or not and whether to change colors or just keep the white. Ever since we purchased our van we’ve thought about painting it. ![]()
