Has anybody ever used bed liner stuff on their roof?

BjBnet · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 1:07 am

I used to have a Renny style basket which scraped the paint a bit off the top, was just wondering what would bedliner spray on stuff look like. Probably be a pain to wash though but it would be durable and help insulate as well as sound proof the cabin.....................ok I'm just kidding about the insulating and sound proofing LOL.

Interesting...my Renegade basket sits a half inch off of the paint all around. Where did it scrach the paint off?

I have,used Morton spray-on bedliner,due to hail damage and I didn't want to replace the roof skin.Older pic of my KJ is below to geve you a good veiw of the roof,it's easy to clean also,UV protected(still looks like new after 6 years),and actually helps keep the interior cooler in the hot sun.

I have rolled on some bedliner I bought. I don't know the name of it. It works great so far. I was always damaging my roof when I'd load stuff into my roof rack, dropping shovel/gas can/axe among other various items and it was scratching and denting it pretty good so I thought it'd help solve that. And it has. Doesn't chip unless you try to chip it and doesn't appear to fade or anything either. I don't have any pics though.

I'll look for it later today and edit this post.

I used the spray can duplicolor liner and it sticks to the plastic (fender flare) pretty well considering I hadn't preped the surface at all. However, it does tend to flake off and fade a little elsewhere (on the rear bumper for instance). Probably wouldn't use it on large surface area like the roof though.

I wonder if there is some sort of paint you can spray over it to help with the fading

Here is the stuff I use.

I have it on my roof, roof rails, rock rails, roof rack, plastic rivets on my fenders and on all my badging. Great stuff.

Use Rustoleum's clear enamel... works great and makes it tougher as well.

Good luck with those cheap bedliner stuff,wouldn't even consider it bedliner since you can scrape it off with your fingernail,it won't last in the long run.Most of what is sprayed on mine is 6+ years old and still looking great.

I know with mine you can't even come close to taking it off with your fingernail. I can barely scrape it off with a screwdriver and there are only two thin coats on my wheel center caps. The stuff is awesome. Like I mentioned I have it on my rock rails and there is a nice gouge on the rail where I hit a rock and the bedliner isn't peeling at all. I'll get some pics of all the stuff I sprayed and rolled it on.

I use the same brand as Inc (Plasticote). Even the huge boulder that bit my rear door panel in Moab didn't take off the bedliner.

Here is the rock rail with the gouge in it:

And the VERY dusty roof:

I've had it on there for months now and it is still nice and shiny. We'll see years down the road though. Best part, it was free. My brother had the stuff in his garage and wasn't using it, so I "borrowed" some. :wink:

Well, I bought two spray cans and did my roof rails and that's all. My brother saw it and liked it and bought a gallon tub. I used his tub to do everything else on my jeep.

Has anybody ever used bed liner stuff on their roof?

Who is online
