DIY Spray on Bed Liner

So I decided to finally do something about my dented and scratched up truck bed.

After seeing the results from a few roll-on kits, I knew that wasn't for me. so after looking around I came across this kit from SEM Products and pulled the trigger on it.

Prepping consisted of 80 grit discs on the electric sander and 100 grid paper my hand to get in all of the ribs and crevices of the bed. Then the body hammers and a little bit of bondo to fix the dents. The bed liner will cover most dents by it's self, but I am super picky and just wanted to make sure it was as close to perfect underneath before spraying it on.

Somehow lost all of the pictures of the actual spraying the kit, but here is the final result:

Also got rid of the stock tailgate cap and replaced it with a color matched SS Silverado cap/spoiler. Came out pretty well for rattle can paint. Got the paint from: Automotive touch up dot com.

Looks really good! Does it dry fast?

Is that a Proto hammer? I have the same one..its a keeper!

It dried pretty fast. Let it dry completely overnight.

I believe that is a Proto. Definitely been around a while.

It's not anything like lineX or rhino liner that can go on like an 1/8 of an inch or anything. I'll grab a pic of the tape line.

An idea of how thick it goes on:

That bed is barely broken in... Do you remember seeing Old Blue's bed ? Let me fix it up for you ! :devil:

Yeah I know if was nowhere near Blue's haha. Just got the idea to do it and pulled the trigger.

Could you spray on another coat to thicken it up and make it more durable? how durable is it? Any flaking off? I had a dealership sprayed in liner in my last truck and we cracked it in a few spots. Thing is the cost was close to a line-x and the quality was Horse S***. Looks dang good, what did the kit run, my old man needs a bedliner.
