that looks like 80 grit on that sanding block. I would have suggested no rougher than 600. maybe even 1000 grit.

Oh, and by the way, what kind of lift is on that Freelander? Looks like no ground clearance issues? did you buy it locally? and how much was it?

Looks so good in person. I'll take better pictures. So glad I finally did it.

Used bedliner. More on that later

Damn looks awesome! I did mine recently also but it wasn't as even as yours turned out. I also think that I didn't wait long enough between coats, damn patience got the best of me... What brand of bed liner did you use? I plan on spraying the bottom half of my door trim with rhinoliner, or herculiner, or plastydip, something along those lines. It will look great and will serve as a brush guard also
Some pics of my rover below:
