COLORED Truck bed coating, I love the color, wife was dead set against it, I won. (Actually, she allowed it)

[Mr_Priest]

(My first post, as a jeep owner) I bought Durabak-18 Textured Truck Bed Liner in bright RED. It matched my trim colors and my dashboard. I think it helped the looks, and I know it's going to help protect the bed. My wife strongly suggested black, but I just couldn't bring myself to become a lemming. I've always had a vision on what accessories would look like before I put them on and I think I'm justified in RED. She relented because the color really wouldn't matter when I put the retractable tonneau cover on. 6 hours of sanding, tapping, cleaning and two coats of textured bed paint later, here it is.

Looks great!

Now, you say you won... but has your wife admitted you were right? This may be a day for the history books!

Too much red for me but to each his own. Raptor bed liner will custom tint bed liner for a slight upcharge. Just an FYI for anyone else thinking of doing this. Looks like it came out well. Good luck with it.

I don't know how I feel about this

Not my style but more importantly, Mr_Priest 1 , Wife 0

Nice

Yikes. Well, this is a prime example of "Just because you can doesn't mean you should". Your wife was 110% correct. Also not a very clean job. Messy lines, way over textured, looks very thin and screws for the tailgate access panel left in.

Almost perfect for deer season

Wife was right !
They are always right ✅️
Just go ask and see if I am right.
I know if I ask my wife she would tell me she is always right ✅️

Line-X will do color too. They did my front bumper on my Power Wagon.

I am on the wife's side of this.

If you ever need to replace your 3rd brake light, that panel will need to be removed.

Why many seams to be worrying about what the wife's thinks? Why's the need to ask them for an opinion or permission about adding or stuffs added to our trucks?. Maybe my wife is just different as she has never commenting on how any of my vehicles looks, just like i don't be saying anything about her kitchen or interior designs. We also don't like the same stuffs either, no conflicts of interests. Maybe it's why we're still together after 26+yrs. My toys, my choices
