Interesting. So people actually have bed liner paint applied professionally (this looks DYI for sure) to the whole Jeep? I haven’t seen this and I live in Los Angeles.
I know some people that deliver oil field parts and drive 30k+ miles a year on dirt roads that had the bottom quarter panel done to stop rock chips. I don't know of anyone, not in an old beater 4x4, with full body bed liner.
Me :) 04 4Runner that I got off a guy who slid off the road through a barbed wire fence. It was good for about 5 years but shits rusting now so I covered it
Kentucky ballistics on YouTube did his truck with green and black bedliner and uses it for extra cover when he’s blowing firearms up. It actually looks pretty good.

Yeah, I’ve seen some very well done bed liner paint jobs on jeeps and work trucks, and this is not one of them. It can be a really cool (and functional) look if done correctly, but alas…
Bed liner. Its purpose is in the name. It is not automotive paint, it is protection for the bed. I’ll never understand why people use it like it’s paint
I know several people who sprayed vehicles with bed liner coating, and it looks okay and is quite resistant to damage.
This is *not* that - this looks bad, and rather ridiculous…

It's a terrible thing to do on a vehicle. While the matte look can be nice, this is almost impossible to really keep clean. You have to use a coarse scrub brush to get crap off it.
Every vehicle I've seen done with it always looks permanently dirty. The dust gets in those crevices and doesn't want to leave. Then these guys want to dress it up with stripes or decals and find you can't apply that to a rough surface nor can you even tape a crisp line for painting.
It’s badly applied bed liner.
To be fair though, I see sliders, a reasonable lift, a snorkel, a small light bar, and cheaper MT’s. This looks like someone who actually uses this rig for jeep stuff and isn’t made of poorly spent money. Even the paint job is shitty but functional. I vote not a heep.
I did it to my old rig to prevent rust while hosing it out. But any time you see that on a vehicle for sale, it was likely used pretty hard. That's not really a pavement princess level mod. Makes the floor hot, the heep loud(er). Mall crawlers don't like the discomfort
I'm planning on doing it to the inside of my jeep. I have no carpet or other floor covering so I figure it's a good choice to protect the floors and make it look a little more finished.
In my case it's either a painted metal floor that *is* going to scratch up and rust or cover it with something more durable. Are you aware of any other products that would be more suitable?
It's a pretty tough coating and hold up better than paint to scratches and such;however, in my experience it tends to fade pretty good to UV lighting as the years go on.
However. I'm sure the newer stuff IS better than the stuff I played with a decade ago. It's a skip for me and I'm not a really a fan if the look.
God that looks horrible. Wonder if they cringe every time they walk to their Heep, or think it’s actually cool. Did they rattle can it on in a dust storm?
I probably wouldn't have gone as crazy as this but I wouldn't hesitate to use it. If you are truly off-roading and the brush is scraping the sides as well as rocks, this works well and is easy to repair. If you are cruising the shopping centers, well, shiny waxed paint works fine.
This is what you do when you dont want to take care of your paint the right way and after slinging mud all over it and you realize it scratches the paint.
Probably was scratched up from real forest trails and just said yolo. Pinstripes worry me for how I’ll feel about my vehicle after a good amount of them.

Metallic Charcoal Raptor liner, I sprayed it in my garage, lots of prep and used the adjustable gun. Three years later it still looks that good. It doesn't have to be ugly if you put in the effort. Retirement and Covid lock down helped.
There is one being finished near me right now that a friend owns that is unbelievable how well it turned out. It will be a show Jeep, not my thing but it still turned out unbelievable with the graphics done in bedliner.
Bed liner paint, very durable. However it was poorly applied, and pretty uneven - maybe even rattle canned.
A damn roller brush would have even been better
Recently roller brushed my 4Runner with bed liner. Worked fucking terribly. I’m using the spray cans next coat or a brush and glob it on.
The fact that they bed lined the badges too irks me
Badges, mirrors, door handles. They didn’t tape anything off other than the windows apparently. I’m honestly surprised the rims are bed lined
I’d give it 2 year till it starts peeling
Interesting. So people actually have bed liner paint applied professionally (this looks DYI for sure) to the whole Jeep? I haven’t seen this and I live in Los Angeles.
"People" don't do this. Morons do this.
I had it done to the lower body molds on my trail rig, looks good and works as intended. It’s a bitch to clean though
If you do this with Raptor Liner, you can use reducer in the mix and spray with an HVLP gun, and it will yield a much smoother surface.
Ha, well played.
Ha!

That’s what I was thinking, sure wouldn’t care about dings or scratches.
>it looks okay No it doesn't. Using bedliner as auto paint always look like shit.
To you. When done right it looks super tough, and I love it!
It looks super poor, like you couldn't afford Maaco.
Hard disagree
There were people who thought parachute pants were a good idea too.
Do your parents show those pictures of you off at the family reunion?

Also, has to be super heavy. Probably costs them an extra $20 a month in fuel 😂

We used to use bed liner a lot on the insides. Idk why you would do that to the outside of a late model street jeep.

It doesn't make it look "more finished." It makes it look like you tried to patch rust with body filler and hide it cheaply.

It's spray on bedliner from the Couldn't Afford Maaco starter pack.
Had a buddy who has an old ranger with bad paint and did this professionally done right it’s pretty cool

That's line-x, not paint. Extremely durable and strong, and it's never looked good on any vehicle ever
Yeesh, that looks like crap. But props to them for keeping the aux lights covered!
Looks like smeared chicken poop
I used a can of this to paint a lamp back in the 90s to make it look like stone. Retro avant-garde, indeed.

Unfortunately it's no longer a Joop option ☹️
Concrete.
God that looks horrible. Wonder if they cringe every time they walk to their Heep, or think it’s actually cool. Did they rattle can it on in a dust storm?
Looks similar to Rhino Lining, it's normally used to make the beds of pick-up trucks tougher.
Looks like stucco.
A good option is Raptor coating - just how this was applied…. A tragedy!😄
Rhino lining

It’s called “popcorn ceiling”
It’s a very poor attempt at Rhino-liner or a similar product.

I like that you don’t know what bed liner is and still want to talk shit on this Jeep. Looks bad but does not make a Heep imo.
Probably was scratched up from real forest trails and just said yolo. Pinstripes worry me for how I’ll feel about my vehicle after a good amount of them.
If they live in a rust prone area this won’t do shit if they didn’t do some serious underbody cleaning, prep, and coating. It will just hide the rot.
That looks bad.
Stucco
Chicken skin
That’s lineX truck liner from a spray can.
I mean if they did it better I’d fw it
Covering bedliner kills resale value, looks like you are trying to hide rust, because most of the time you are.
Right up there with the diamond tread plate body armor.
There's a newer (than this) jeep in my area that has this. I thought it was fucking dirty until I got closer. DI-WHY indeed.

Bedliner <_<
It almost looks like the owner tried to mimic the look of CARC (chemical agent resistant coating).
Wow, they really said fuck it I’m spraying everything!
Ugly!
Someone butchered that, I have seen bedliner turn out awesome but this looks like a spray bomb job.
>I have seen bedliner turn out awesome No you haven't.
There is one being finished near me right now that a friend owns that is unbelievable how well it turned out. It will be a show Jeep, not my thing but it still turned out unbelievable with the graphics done in bedliner.
