How Does Bedliner Work?

<p>When it comes to bedliner options, there are some very good options to choose from. It all depends on what you are trying to protect. If you are only looking for something inexpensive, a drop-in bedliner would be a great option. These bedliners can be found at most auto parts stores for under $ 500 and go all the way down to about fifty dollars. They are typically made from plastic or rubber, two substances that aren't known for standing up too well to the weather.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Plastic liners come in two forms, an open cell or an enclosed cell. Both varieties come in an infinite variety of colors and textures. The enclosed cell type of bedliner, however, is best used on pickup trucks with solid steel bed liners, because it will help to protect those parts from the inevitable effects of rust. Because it's open cell, it can allow moisture to get inside and damage your bed metal.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Another popular option to protect truck beds is to use spray-in bedliner. Spray-in bedliner comes in rolls similar to a sheet of paper. These rolls are connected together and then the individual sheets are affixed to Styrofoam. This type of bedliner works because it's sprayed onto the metal, protecting it from rusting or cracking. The downside to this option is that it can be messy, since you have to manually apply the bedliner, which makes it somewhat inconvenient for some applications.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A third choice when it comes to bedliner, which some people might consider more permanent, is vinyl bedliner. Vinyl bedliner comes in sheets as well as single sheets. Some of the cheaper vinyl bedliners can be removed and replaced with a new one. This is another good choice for truck owners, who may not want to spend the money on other options.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Finally, a less common but still useful form of bedliner, roll down bedliner, can be seen on some older model pickups and SUVs. Roll down bedliner works like a film, which rolls down from underneath your truck bed. While it does provide some protection, it does leave open spaces where water can accumulate. Many experts recommend against using this option, especially if you live in an area that gets heavy rainfall or snowfall.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As you can see, there are many options when it comes to the bedliner on your truck. If you decide to do a spray-in bedliner or roll down bedliner, remember that it will take some extra time, and effort on your part, to properly install it. If you have any doubts about how well your vehicle's paint can stand up to the treatment, it may be a good idea to consult with a professional truck paint technician, rather than attempting the installation process yourself. If you decide to do either of these options, you can rest assured that your vehicle will look as great as it did before, with just a little bit of work and installation.</p>
