no I wont be driving it in bad weather ,reason I was thinking bed liner I have it in all my work trucks and it is so easy to clean up even with hauling tons of debris it looks like new with a pressure washer thought it would stay nice clean and blackI vote regular undercoat. That bed liner stuff will need blasted off if anyone ever wants it off in the future. If your going to drive it year round in all weather conditions then the bed liner might make sense.
That looks really nice. Is that a spray on liner? What type of gun is used?I used Color matched raptor liner. Mine is Viper silver (you add 10% base coat per bottle) Looks good and hides some imperfections but it is forever.

I think it works with any base coat as long as its solvent based. I used PPG Deltron. 1 recommendation I have is spray a coat or two of base on the metal under the tinted Raptor liner and it will match the base color more closely. I sprayed silver tinted Raptor over Gray epoxy and it did take on a gray undertone. I did sprayed silver base on the inside of the quarter panels and it's definitely more silver. Here a couple Pics of the inner quarters with silver base under Raptor for comparison. And by the way if you plan on going this route you'll need about 6 bottles for two good coats.I thought about buying the tintable kit but it looked more baby blue than I wanted...can you use any brand basecoat?
The Raptor kits come with a schutz gun made for thier containers PRDN
Looks very nice!
I like the idea of black also my car is white and I think the black will look great tooIf you take a look at my post for my 1969 Roadrunner Post Coupe Restoration, I had Line X brand bed liner installed. I went with black because I am painting the car Lime Green and will be exploiting the green and black theme. I completely grinder and wire wheeled the bottom after glass blasting and the took it to my local Line X dealer on a rotisserie. They sprayed it for me for $850. Can you do it cheaper (absolutely), but after watching the prep work and the enthusiasm on the guys face doing my car, I felt comfortable. Took lots of time and really did a nice job.
Local paint supply shop wanted $300 for the materials and then I needed a gun. To me, after getting it spotless, I didn't want to screw it up. Definitely made the right choice. Looks awesome.
