bed question

[scott5640]

i had sold my original throw in bedliner. and the bed under it was all scratched up, so i became redneck and spray painted it flat torador red........ that was 3 months ago, now the spray is peeling in some spots and looks faded and like a red desert.... ill say it now, I CANT GET A NEW THROW IN AND I CANT GET A SPRAY/ROLL IN. so whats the best way to remove the spray but still keep the original factory paint under it?

sandpaper,400grit maybe, that way u remove the damaged paint and the shine on the original paint, so the spray liner can adhere.
sandpaper your head too for selling the original drop liner

thats why beds have cargo tiedowns
i always tie everything i carry on the trucks bed, mine has the factory liner and i wont sell it never, it has saved the bed so many times from scratches and dents. not only the beds floor, also the side shoulders.

i think a mild sanding can help u for removing the old paint.

If you're going to repaint it, I'd use a coarser sandpaper and prime it first.

Personally....I prefer a bedmat over the $500 spray in or the stupid slick drop in or the roll on crap that peels after abuse and use. I got my $120 new bedmat off craigslist for $20. Shit don't slide everywhere on a grippy bedmat.



You're suffering from improper prep.

Do you have access to a hot water pressure washer?? That should take off all the flaking crap paintjob. If not, a nice high power pressure washer with the yellow tip should do just as good to loosen up the paint flaking.
