Do it Yourself Bed Liner: Things to Consider Before Installation

If you’re a truck-owning guy or gal that likes to get things done his/her way or no way, our DIY spray on bedliner is the perfect solution for you.  However, you’ll need to follow some basic bed liner installation instructions before you begin.

When you apply our spray on bedliner the proper way, you’ll not only get the results you want, but you’ll get to take credit for a job well done. Beware, though.  A lot more friends and relatives may ask for your help when it comes to hauling bunch of their stuff around this summer. With Scorpion bedliner installed, they’ll clearly see that your truck bed can withstand a lot of use.

So without further ado, here are some aspects of the truck bed liner installation process we would like to point out before you begin.

Give Yourself Enough Time

Like with many wonderful things in life, a vital aspect of installing a successful truck bed liner is to go slow and be patient. Depending on the temperature of the space you are working in, each coat can take over an hour to apply and two hours to dry in-between coats. So, make sure to give yourself the proper amount of time to get the job done. This will help to ensure that the liner adheres well and looks spectacular.

Don’t Rush the Prep Phase

While the last section discussed the importance of taking your time during the process, one cannot stress enough the importance of taking the time to scuff the interior of the truck bed during the preparation phase. If you rush this phase of the truck bed liner installation, the liner will not adhere properly to the truck bed, and you will find that the bed liner may wear off or look uneven. Don’t rush – rather, take your sweet time being as thorough as possible!

Wear Protective Clothing

Since you’re essentially working with spray on paint, it is important that you wear protective clothing (gloves, goggles, long sleeves, and pants) when applying our do-it-yourself truck bed liner.  X02 can be difficult to wash off of your skin – not to mention, any clothing it ends up on.  So, when you’re applying the spray on DIY bed liner, wear clothing that you don’t mind ruining.

If you are the handy type, installing your own truck bed liner can help you save some cash – it may also give you the inspiration you need to consider being a Scorpion dealer!  Regardless, by keeping the above tips in mind, you can help to ensure that the DIY bed liner application process goes as smoothly as possible.

If you aren’t the handy type, or you’re a woman looking for something creative to get your hubby or dad for Father’s Day,  there is always the option of having a professional install a truck bed liner for you. Contact us to learn more about truck bed liner installation.
