I use rustoleum bedliner spray on bumpers and trims. Sand and clean the Surface and it works well. Don’t sand if it’s plastic. I wouldn’t use it on a truck bed in my opinion. If you ever want to bedliner a truck use Raptor liner. I have it on my Dakota and it’s been great. But nothing will beat Line X. Those type of bedliners are baked on.
Great video, appreciate you talking about what you could have done better. I have a project 94 Ranger and I used Herculiner roll-on kit and it went extremely well. Give that a try if you want a thicker and tougher result!
Ya, I think if I were to try DIY again, I'd do the rollon with a thick nap. That helps make it thicker and bumpier! But I didn't want to spend that much on this truck. I won't be keeping the bed that long anyway. haha. I just wanted a quick and cheap option... But I also got quick and cheap results.
@@rayregnogarage My '95 Ranger had front accessory hamster wheel squeal and I thought it was another idler pulley. Once I got the serp belt off though, turns out it was the alternator bearings. Thanks to my grandpa for the old mechanics trick of using a long screwdriver to your ear as a stethoscope for pinpointing the source of weird noises. Since it was still charging fine, and I'd upgraded to the 130 amp alternator, I opted to order a $25 Ford 3G alternator rebuild kit online instead of buying a whole new one.
Rattle can painting large areas outdoors is tough. I tried to get prep done as early as possible but as soon as the sun starts coming up the wind picks up to and carries the paint away....
Ya and I just don’t have the patience to do all the prep. haha. I could never do paint and body. I was just so over it. It’s not a show truck. So I gave it very little effort. lol
@@rayregnogarage not bad, sounds encouraging 3 years later and I’m sure you beat it up regularly…. I went ahead and bought the spray bottle after seeing your video…I sprayed the back wheel wells of my truck 🤙🏽
I figure that would be pretty pricy. And make the truck heavier. For a beater truck, I feel like that might be overkill. But it would look cool. I've seen Vans done that way.
@@rayregnogarage my ranger will be more of a trail build and i was thinking that you dont have to worry about paint scratching and should be pretty hard to dent depending on the thickness of the liner. Idk im still thinking about exactly what i want to do. Maybe just paint it and be careful lol.
Somehow I missed the Duplicate-Color part…or did I misread the title? I would have cut off the tailgate top edge of the old liner and epoxied it to the tailgate to protect that edge, and possibly all around the top edge of the entire bed.
The Duplicolor was the vinyl spray on the tailgate. I just did it because the "color match" was so bad I thought it would look better intentionally NOT matching haha. Plus it's "vinyl" so it would be removeable if I hated. This truck is so dented up I don't really care about protecting it too much. If I did, I'd get one of those professionally installed spray liners. I had Rhino Liner on a previous truck and loved it.
Even though you didn't do a perfect job, the video was super helpful and saved me a lot of errors. Thanks!
Great videos.
Glad you found it helpful!
Front of my 2014' F150 rusting horrible. Used angle grinder to remove rust and smooth pits. Looking very good
nice!

Check your Cam Synchronizer for that (Squirrel noise) combined with bucking of truck when it revs past 4K rpms
Truck runs smooth. Leaks a little coolant, too, so I’m pretty sure it’s water pump related
Bucking could be a cam sync issue, but that's usually accompanied by a check engine light on EEC-V trucks.

I’m using rattle can liner on my 14’ aluminum fishing boat, we’ll see how it goes!
Make sure you prep it good. Mine is starting to peel.

Loved the honesty lol

hows it been holding up so far?
It's peeling in some sections. i didn't do a good job of prepping it.
I go with raptor is one of the best
Spokane in the hoouusseee!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I was thinking about getting my whole ranger linex'd, thoughts?

@@James-eh6jh Dents are part of the game. I don't want the truck to be heavier than it needs to be. Haha. There's always fiberglass, too

You're kidding right
I think it needs 24h before you can use your car and 4-5 days to be completely ok and i am prety sure you did it completely wrong 🤣🤣
Did you not read the thumbnail?
