Love it..........

 

pretty cool. thinking of doing that to mine.

 

What you talking bout yours looks great!!

I have tried almost every texture of black paint and three bedliners in my vehicle painting days.

First of all duplicator bed liner is known to suck.

I have used hitchhiker on my entire floor in my 4runner and it came out GREAT. but I chose to use rustoleum because I didn't want it too gritty. IN MY EXPERIENCE hitchhiker makes a better bed liner if you want ROUGH and durable. The granuals are VERY big and it's quite rubbery.

On my 4runner I have used rustoleum SPRAY CAN bed liner for my rocker panels. I DO NOT RECCOMEND USING THIS. texture is great but it is IMPOSSIBLE to get it perfectly even. You only get paint/liner if you hold the can so that the paint is at the tip/top. Horizontal works but if you go back and forth the paint will shift to the model and you'll spray a ton and then when its fiestas the bottom all you get is air.

I used the rustoleum inns quart paint can. I chose this because it's smoother than herc and rolling on is so much easier than painting.


To my surprise it didn't go as far as the herc. I used over half the quart on the hood and it took 4 coats (herc took 1-2)

I'm very happy. Only thing I can recommend is...

Don't try to pull tape before it has dried... And the restolium applicator kit is worthless other than the roller which I can't find at a hardware store.. It's like. Poly pours sponge with big holes to hold the granules..

 

one thing i cant get over is how black it is.. it like.. sucks light..

 

Would any of you guys be interested in getting this done with vinyl? My friend can make them pre-cut in matte black.

 

i love having blackout on. i find myself driving toward the sun a lot and it does a good job diffusing the light rather than directing a strong laser of light into my retinas
