Before anyone asks, we are not painting the inside of the bed because:

A: paint is expensive and I already have a plastic bedliner

B: as you can see this bed was once drilled for a 5th wheel hitch. It wasnt until recently that i knew they made patch panels so later down the road we will fix that.

C: when we fix that im going to get spray on bedliner anyway.

I feel your pain there. I hate sanding.

You can buy a gallon of paint for less than $25 bucks which you could put inside the bed. Better than leaving it the way it is.

Even though its getting spray on bedliner? The timeline for this would be measured in weeks. Maybe 2 months at most.

We never sanded the inside of the bed.

In other news, everything is wet sanded and cleaned up. About half of the taping is done. Painting Sunday morning

What brand of spray-on bed liner are you using?

My bed is in the same phase as yours. Priming and block sanding. Painting next week.

I have been doing a lot of research on spray on bed liners. And since i probably wont be hauling nothing harsher than cotton balls, i could probably get away with walmart rustoleum bedliner for $40. But,,,,i have found tons of great reviews and checked out a truck that has the Raptor. And i found it on Amazon for $115, free ship, no tax and it comes with a gun. Therefore, Raptor it is.

I almost went with the herculiner, but was told to avoid it, that raptor is much better. We wont be ready for inside bed for another week, so i have time to order. Locally its $150. I found on amazon much better deal, as stated. Your truck is coming along great.
