Default U-POL Raptor Bed Liner Review

Hey guys thought I would share my results with ya. I bought this kit about 4 years ago http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=350394032541

For DIYers like me it was a no brainer just a little work. I cleaned by bed really good at the car wash with some simple green to remove any oils or dirt. Scuffed it up with some low grit 50 on a DA sander, it does not have to be perfect. Where I was unable to get with the DA I just used some scrap 50 grit paper I had laying around. Blew all the dust out from sanding, taped it off and shot it. All this probably took me 5 hours.

It still looks great after 4 years. No fading, chipping, or cracking. I do haul brush, rocks ect on occasion. There may be like 1 or 2 small scratches on it from dragging Sharp rocks/bricks across it.

Sorry its pretty dirty back there. The little discoloration u see is just dirt that has got wet and dried. Also I just recently put the rubber mat thing back in, I had to haul a rearend and other metal parts, it helped keep the Sharp edges from the rear end digging in and **** rattling around.

I'm going to remove the mat tonight and wash it out. I will get some better pics then. Also the pics above were from my crap EVO 4G phone....
