ENHANCE YOUR VEHICLE: THE PROS & CONS OF BEDLINER PAINT JOBS
Bedliner paint jobs are gaining traction in the automotive world. With their rock-solid protection and unique texture, they make for a great way to spruce up your ride. But like any other modification, bedliner paint jobs come with both pros and cons. Knowing what to expect from this type of investment is key to making an informed decision.
Key benefits of bedliner paint jobs include:
The primary advantage that comes with getting a bedliner paint job is its durability. A bedliner coat is made up of polyurethane-based plastic material which makes it extremely resistant to damage from scratches, bumps, and UV rays. This type of coating is also highly resistant to chemicals like oil and gasoline, making it perfect for off-roading or extended drives on the highway.
The texture of bedliners gives the vehicle an interesting aesthetic that many people find appealing. They come in a variety of colors such as black, white, grey, silver and more meaning you can customize your vehicle however you want without compromising functionality or protection from the elements. Plus, these types of coatings tend to last longer than traditional paints due to their special polyurethane base material which prevents fading and chipping over time.
Bedliners are also very easy to maintain since they don’t require any specific cleaning supplies or tools like waxes or polishes do–you just need warm water and soap!
- The paint will adhere to the contours of your truck flawlessly if done correctly.
- You can even customize the color if you want neon pink, the more power to you.
- The bedliner paint (polyurea) from ArmorThane is tough and durable and will last long.
- Bedliner paint protects the inside of your truck from scratches and protects your cargo as well.
- Not only does it protect against scratches, but also different elements, moisture, rust, and corrosion as well as UV rays.

Cons of bedliner paint jobs include:
One potential downside to getting a bedliner paint job is its cost–they can be quite expensive compared to regular paints depending on where you buy them from and how much coverage they provide (unless you already have some lying around). Additionally, because they’re made out of plastic material instead of regular paints like acrylic or enamels used in other automotive applications–they’re not as flexible so it may be difficult to achieve certain effects with them such as pearlescent finishes or intricate designs/patterns (although some specialized paints may help).
Another disadvantage is that while they offer excellent protection against shocks and impacts–they’re not particularly scratch-resistant so if your car often rubs up against sharp objects like branches while driving off-road then it may start showing signs of wear sooner rather than later which could mean having to re-apply fresh coats every now and then adding additional costs over time. Lastly, these types of coatings may become slippery when wet so you need to take extra care while driving in wet conditions (especially if you live in an area prone to rain).
- It's easier to mess up the paint job and have to redo it. This is why we do not advise doing this at home. Give ArmorThane a call today, and we will get you in touch with one of our trained experts.
- During the curing process, there is a chance of dust and debris getting stuck in the wet paint.
- While ArmorThane boasts a quick dry time, other standard brands might need a few hours or more, which could be extremely time-consuming.
- You have to get the thickness right, and this may demand more than one layer. The thinner the layer, the more easily it is damaged.
- Some bedliners without durable UV protection could fade over time and give your truck an aged and battered appearance.
- Some thicker bedliner paints can also absorb vibrations and dampen sounds.
- Again, elaborating on the first point, if you decide to do it on your own, you might miss hard to reach areas or inadvertently get some paint on the windows and mirrors.
WHY CHOOSE A BEDLINER PAINT JOB?
Sometimes it’s better to leave the job to the professionals. After all, they are equipped and qualified to handle it. Yes, it could cost more, and it will just add to the expense of the paint itself, but you do save a lot of time, and you can pretty much guarantee you will be happy with the outcome. The cost of applying the bedliner isn’t just about the tools; it’s also the time and effort you put in.
If you have a heavy-duty truck designed to withstand harsh elements, shouldn’t the truck bed be the same? So why are people covering their truck beds with various types of bedliners? Well, the simple answer is the coating protects your truck and cargo you are transporting.
It’s a win-win situation!
