Ok, so my cousin's Dodge 3500, along with several scratches and abrasions from numerous hunting excursions and general truck abuse, to coat a majority of the exterior with spray-on bed-liner. I have looked into a company doing it for me, but with those prices I may as well just get a new truck. So, I have started the process of doing it myself... If anyone has spray coated their bed or even used the stuff before, let me know of any tips that don't come on the containers. I'll try to keep this up to date with my progress...

i have a tip sand blast it or it will come off also take lights grill chrome and roll down the windows and put something like 1/4 inch plywood or metal in its place also cover your windows then clean the bare metal with asatone on something of its nature and if you lightly sand the metal it will give the spray something more to hold on to

No, I'm doing it to mine. My cousin's truck came with it on the fender flares and served as an inspiration. I like the sandblaster idea. I was thinking of marking off where I want it (right now, everything behind the cab) and using sandpaper in a low number grit to give the compound something to hold onto.
If I put any on the cab, it will just be around the bottom 8 inches or so and around the grill and lights. But since those would be more cosmetic than tactical, they will come secondary.
Thanks for the tip, fupeta.
