Understanding Spray Bed Liners
Spray-on bedliners are installed in trucks to protect the bed of the truck from getting chemical spilling, sunlight damage, scratches, and scrapes. They are a form of investment made by the truck owner.
Specialists usually apply them but they can still be applied by the truck owner with a DIY Kit. The spray should be applied for a couple of hours before the truck is used and make sure it has hardened up good.
It counters damage from various elements as they are made of a chemical polyurethane/polyurea which has great resistance to abrasion, chemicals, oxidation and is very much adhesive. It is important to ensure that the bed liner has completely hardened before you place anything on it
Nowadays, the truck companies have started offering truck liner services at the time of purchase or as an aftermarket service. Therefore, you do not need to search separately for the spray liner after buying your truck. These typically are done as a bare minimum job with an ultra-thin layer of bedliner. This type of bedliner is not recommended. Leave the bedliner business to the bedliner pros is the best advice I can give on this.
Spray bedliners also exist in several different colors. It needs to be maintained regularly as it can lose its luster as time goes on. The standard color of the spray bed liner is black.
Spray bed liners are important for various reasons. Considering that pickup trucks are usually designed for hauling items. As you haul off anything, you risk scratching the paint in the truck bed. A minor scratch can be a source of rust that will eventually cause irreparable damage. Spray bed liners are permanent, tough and durable. They cannot be scratched anyhow.
