Looks nice. What did you think of that Duplicolor Bedliner?
Cause that is not the Duplicolor TR250 that most guys use.

 

well i painted everything when it was around 55 degrees outside, which is most likely what caused this, but it needs 48 hrs to dry and comes out very (not a solid spray) couldnt think of the word lol. but once dry holds up good. has an orange peel texture

 

new disc brake conversion kit about to go on (along with not shown rear bearings, axle seals, and chromoly shafts)

 

I made the mistake of getting a few things Line-X'ed. My '00 is just a DD. I picked up some factory running boards in green. Needed them to be black. Also been wanting to repaint my side molding. And since I was getting all that done I threw in my roof skid strips and rear factory mud shields to get them to look better to.

It was pricey but I really like it. The problem is that I did not realize how much I would like the bedliner look. Now I want to bedline everything.
Bumper caps and valanace, maybe bumpers, even wondering how door handles would look. Thinking would be a little rough on the hands.
I opted for the Line-X cause I posses the worst rattle can painting skills. Just another case of sometimes it is better to let the professionals handle this. For me anyway.
Anyway it would be to pricey to keep going back to Line-X. So I bought the rattle can version of every bedliner I could find. Including the Duplicolor you used.
My hope is one will be a close enough match with the Line-X so that my OCD will not go into overdrive.
Don't see that happening. As much as I love the Line-X, and it seems to be holding up on the plastic real well, I am sorry I ever went down that road. LOL.

 

well at least you like it lol. I personally though really love the factory purple. so i want everything left purple that i can possibly have. in fact, i will soon be getting the roof water blasted and repainted. i thought about when i get bumpers having them done in the purple as well, but then i thought about how they would get scratched from wheeling. but im not doing anymore flat black on the body. will have black bumpers, rock sliders, and roof rack and thats it!

 

Have you checked out the Monstaliner? They have those tint packages for their bedliner. I mean like light blues and tans. Might have purple you can deal with.
