I don't think it would look good as well.

One reason I was thinking about doing it it because my brothers Ram has a spray in bed liner and that thing is so easy to clean, but here are some pics from Unique. It is a real suddel addition to the engine, but I think gives it a rough ***** to the wall look. http://www.uniqueperformance.com/GT350SR.aspx look at the white car with the red stripes. I am going to do it I was more curious if anyone else had done it.

Well I guess I am one of the first to do this, Ill def keep everyone up to date. JMD I have been sanding the corners by hand with 40 grit and plan on doing all black liner and my stang is metallic grey. I think it will be worth it too, but well see.
Yea, let me know, I think that with a little thought, andcarefull attention to detailthat this is somthing that could look really nice.

I used aspray in product on my sons truck bed that was matched to the body color and I was very impressed with the outcome, it was a little hard to get into the edges and the corners, but with persistance it did finally go in there.It was like the blast of air used to apply the liner would tend to "pull" the wet material away from settling in the edges.

i like it. it doesn't look much different from any of the flat black paint used by anyone else here. it's tough as nails too. it's sure as hell not as cheap as a rattle can though

I have to admit that I like it. As long as it's not to goobery looking. The texture in the pic is nice. I do have experience with the spray on bed liner. Wal-Mart sells it in their automotive section. I paint gun stock with the stuff. The further you hold the can away from the object you are painting, the rougher the texture. It actually dries as it flies through the air. Not enough to keep it from sticking though.

just make sure the surface is prepped correctly... I think it'd be a major disaster if parts of it started to bubble/peel - no sanding and blending for that stuff

done right though, doubt you can beat it... good luck
