Friend of mine painted a TJ with some stuff called "RAPTOR" .. I believe it a a bedline product ! Super tuff ! Looks even tougher ! But long term ! I don't know ... I do know in actual beds with time, dirt & mud gets deep in the pores of the stuff & looks brown ..... Hard to get out .... Not bad in a truck bed but on an entire exterior .... Idk ..... But I'm not sure ! Remember This site is made up of opinions & theory's ! Lol and you got mine !

Same. I think it would look great to start off with.. then after playing in the mud a while it will look horrible. And if your looking to bed like your entire jeep, why not just get it powder coated flat black, or olive drab. That would look sick

We have lots of yj's and cj's on this island that are bed lined. It looks good the 1st year or so but after it starts to fade not so much.

I wouldn't do it. My bedliner in my truck faded and looked washed out after the first year.

I bedlined the tub of my JK and the front grill just a year ago and it still holds up great! Looks like new!

Stuff I used is called Upol Raptor. Not sure if I can post this here, but w ww.tptools.com/p/2600,233_U-Pol-Raptor-Spray-On-Truck-Bed-Liner-Kit.htm is where I got it from. Comes with everything you need but an air compressor. If you have one, great!

Good luck

Do it. Mine is bedlined with linex with kevlar. Wears great and doesnt require much care. My bumpers and tires look dirty, but the body always looks clean.
