Painting Truck Bed Liner
Posted on 4/6/18 at 10:33 am

Do any of you have any experience painting over black truck bed liner?
TLDR Version:
Installing plywood reinforcement on my front deck and back bench of my aluminum boat. My plans were to prime the wood, then coat with a roll on truck bed liner. Problem is that I do not want it to be black. I was thinking either grey or a dark green to match the boat. Have any of you painted over a black truck bed liner?
I am also having an aluminum floor installed, and plan to coat it with the same thing as the wood, only I will scuff it up good, then degrease with rubbing alcohol before applying the primer.
Any advice is appreciated. Any other ideas for coating the deck/floor are welcome, as well.

Yes. Well with the professional bed liner you can anyway. Good friend has a shop and they do this all the time with boats. Sprays the liner then comes over top with an automotive paint. I’ve also seen him do a few vehicles the same way. Hasn’t had any issues that I know of.

Update:
Painted on the bed liner, about 4 coats or so. Then this afternoon I painted the truck bed liner with grey marine grade paint. It has to dry over night before applying the second coat. Ill do that before i head to work in the morning. Once that one dries, ima flip em over and paint the underside. I probably didnt need to do the truck bed liner at all to be honest. I thought it'd be thick enough to get rid of the plywood texture showing through, and have a little texture, itself. It didnt get rid of the wood texture, and didnt have all that much texture. Im not that upset about it. It doesnt look bad. That wood wont be rotting anytime soon, either. Its gonna be sealed like a mofo
One thing i messed up on, i was gonna sand the edges of the wood before painting, to give it a more finished look, but i was too excited, i guess, and just started painting.
