Cost for bedliner alone, about $450. Cost to do the bed and everything else on the outside of the truck except the windows, $1100.<br /><br />Seems that the one time setup costs (preping the facility, handling the truck, matching the paint color, cleaning up the facility, billing the client, paying the "service writer" [salesman], servicing bad debt, etc.) is a substantial part of the cost. Quadrupling the amount of work only cost about twice as much.<br /><br />FormerFlyerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-15785266458512356442014-06-18T13:47:15.922-05:002014-06-18T13:47:15.922-05:00I'm thinking the DIY route is the way to go. ...I'm thinking the DIY route is the way to go. $85 to $150 to do the bed of my truck, along with my sweat and time, versus $550 and three hours to have it done professionally.

For either polyurethane foam insulation or bed liner spray application it seems like a pretty foolproof way of getting the catalyst mix correct. The hitch is that like coffee-pod machines and shaving razors, the equipment is cheap compared to the ongoing cost of a single-source for consumables.<br /><br />FYI truck bed liner is now pretty much the standard surface coating for big touring rock and roll speakers, which are made from baltic birch plywood.Douglas2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-37470992496301650802014-06-18T07:18:51.727-05:002014-06-18T07:18:51.727-05:00Bob's right, I've seen a couple of backwo...Bob's right, I've seen a couple of backwoods trucks painted OUTSIDE with the stuff too!!!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-54859578132163224862014-06-18T01:23:28.236-05:002014-06-18T01:23:28.236-05:00Some storm chasers are using it to paint the entir...Some storm chasers are using it to paint the entire exterior of their chase vehicles.
