It does really look good, but more than anything it allowed me to not have to replace my bed floor that is totally beaten up. I didn't want to have to spend $1000 on a floor, paint it perfect, and then never be able to use it. It IS still a truck!

So how similar or different was it than spraying texture? I've heard they recommend using a harbor freight texture gun to spray it. How thick did you go?

Looks really good!

Low Elco · 05-22-2012, 11:23 PM

Looks great, Drew! I'm an Al's fan as well, what was the trick to compensating for the white in the liner? What brand of base coat did you use? How about them fumes? Whew!

Sorry I didn't explain much on the Al's.
The primer fumes are the best!!!
It has a shortish shelf life, make sure you get a fresh kit when you are ready to spray it. I had one kit from 1.5 years ago that had 2 parts already harden up on me.
I used 3 kits to do my bed because I wanted it really thick like Rhino Line does them.
I had my paint shop mix up a pigment only batch of paint for my color code. 8 ounces of colorant per kit. Throw away the black colorant that comes with the kit and add yours instead. THIS is the thing that sold me on Al's. I did not want a sea of black on my trucks inner bed because it really takes away from the looks of the truck. Matching bedliner - awesome!
It is really not too hard to spray, I used the gun that Al's sells and have done 2 other paying jobs with it already. When word gets out you can do a color matching super high quality bedliner, total strangers quickly want to be your new friend.
I barely pull the trigger to do a very fine texture or pull it wide open to do a heavy texture.

^^^ I want to be your friend now Drew!

drewskiren · 05-23-2012, 10:07 PM

Here's 3 pictures from last night. The lower dash now covered in material. Its just sitting there, not ready to bolt it up yet until I mount a couple more things.

drewskiren · 05-23-2012, 10:15 PM

Mounted a "couple more things".

Holy mackerel Batman, that's an iPad in there!

**youngrodder** · 05-23-2012, 11:10 PM

Drew

Very nice touch, plus you still have factory (non hacked) dash under that mount.
Nice detail.

Marc

drewskiren · 05-23-2012, 11:54 PM

Making good progress tonight!!!

NewType72 · 05-24-2012, 12:01 AM

wow.. I'm seriously running out of words of praise on this thing I can't think of anything but awesome for this truck it's purely a sight to see the craftsmanship in every detail from the beginning amazing work Drew

71Sleeper · 05-24-2012, 12:26 AM

Wow! Let the imagination run wild. What's next? Love the Ipad ideal. Question for you are you planning on covering the door panels too? I think that would really tie the whole interior together. Or do you think it would be too much?

I had to cover up all the useless factory holes, so I figured a big flatscreen would do the trick. iPad is just that much cooler. It's in for the Power Tour, but really I need to integrate it into a music system that I haven't even begun to dream up. Surf the web, navigation, watch a movie and one other thing are it's uses currently.

bundeber · 05-24-2012, 12:05 PM

integrating an ipad into your sound system is a piece of cake. You could run a headphone jack stereo OR run one with the usb2 port, this will keep it charged constantly as well as allow you to switch input modes on the stereo to allow your music to come through. Just keep in mind, law enforcement officers frown on movie viewing from the driver's seat! Also not sure what size memory you have, but 16 gb isn't a lot of room for apps and music. I have 9gb of music on mine and it's only 2294 songs

By the time the kids get angry birds on there you won't have room for more than a couple movies!! Running the usb cord would allow you to swap out and hook an ipod up as well.

Thanks,
I have a plan, just not the time, nor any room for a stereo head unit, but I've got that figured out too.

I'm not sure what I'll do on the door panels. I may get blue
carpet bottoms and Cheyenne Super wood grain panels.

coggonobrien · 05-24-2012, 01:12 PM

as for the stereo, why not make your ipod mount hinged with a catch and hide the stereo behind it. David

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-24-2012, 03:01 PM

Nice work Drew!

jb1016 · 05-24-2012, 08:13 PM

Did NOT see that coming...and yet I shouldn't be surprised; leave it to you to come up with something so simple, yet so awesome.

Oh, yes! Wood grain panels would look great and bring out the glove box. I think you got something there... Can't wait to see what you decide.

The whole reason I have a large flat spot in the middle of my dash is the fact that the new style AC unit is taking up all the space that would be for the cig lighter, keyswitch, AC controls, ash tray, and radio. I have no space for any of those original items. Instead of a large blank spot on my dash, I filled it with an iPad.

drewskiren · 05-25-2012, 01:20 AM

Didn't have much time tonight, but I did manage to cut the holes in the carpet for the seat bolts and install the middle jump seat.

VA72C10 · 05-25-2012, 01:48 AM

Looking great!

drewskiren · 05-25-2012, 01:48 PM

Just another day at the office.

Tinkermc · 05-25-2012, 03:10 PM

I told you in my last comment that my hat was off to you, well maybe I just need to throw it away. The more you do the better it looks. What color dash pad are you useing?
Wooden would be very nice.
