I would think its more noticeable just because black trucks get dirty, quick. Plus could I even get a snug top??

I work for a company that has the capabilities to take off a spray in bedliner. Linex has been sending their trucks to us for a while now. We water blast liner but paint is gonna come with it! It is really hard to get the over the rail stuff off because when you are putting 40,000psi through 5 orifices that are 2mm in diameter, its not easy to be totally acurate with it.

Okay, so basically no matter what, the paint is going to be removed. Getting it repainted would be expensive
TXsilverado: I dont know, it's just that the bedliner is everywhere, I would think you need to use some mounts on the bed or something, im not sure though.

Basically....Once the liner is there, its pretty much there. I think we get paid well over 150 bucks for each liner we blast and then on top of that, you can figure repainting and blending. No matter what, its gonna be expensive. Might as well go ahead and just find a truck without a spray in bedliner.

No... people mount bed covers over spray-in bedliners all the time. They look good. Get one already!

the paint is already removed underneath the spray in. you can drill through the spray in to mount any hardware necessary. you would be suprised by how little amount of hardward holds those tonneau covers on.
