Looked killer at first, but now it looks terrible IMO.

I tried refinishing but was never really satisfied with the results of the refinish.

I bought new wood (not installed yet) but Im seriuosly considering just buying a metal floor box and getting a spray in bed liner. I rarely use my truck to haul anything. The upkeep of the bed wood was just more than I expected.

What a bummer, did you apply any primer/sealer stuff at first or just straight up spar urethane on it?
