I was wanting to paint my front grill black using a bedliner spray. I was told that it would work really well and it was cost affordable. That I would pretty much need just some 50 grit sandpaper and a can or two of the bedliner spray you can buy at Lowes for about 12 bucks a can. If anyone has anymore info on this please let me know. I wanna get this done this weekend. But definetly want to use the right type of spray. If anyone has any reccomendations let me know please. thanks!

I just did this last weekend - super easy. I bought one of those fine/medium grit sanding sponges, but any fine/medium sandpaper will work.
I bought the Rustoleum bedliner at home depot for $7 and it turned out great. One can does 2 coats, that's all you need.
Sandpaper $3, bedliner $7, for a total cost of $10

I also decided to use some gutter guard for grill mesh inserts, painted them with bedliner and attached with epoxy.
That was another $10. Everything together looks awesome and was so damn easy. I'm glad I finally did it.

I would really like to get the clear turn signal lenses to finish the look, but I don't want to spend another $50 for plastic right now.

I'll take some pics tomorrow in the daylight for ya - I took a long road trip this weekend through the country and the grill is now a bug graveyard, so I need to clean it up again first.
I left the jeep letters off for now. Still debating on whether I want to put them back on as is, or... still thinking.

I read so many of these threads that talk about praying the grill with the bed liner. I would think it would be a pain to keep clean because of the roughness. The last thing I would want is to be scrubbing the bugs out of the surface.

I'll try and get some pics posted as well. I left my jeep letters on, did my front grill and wheels.

Actually it's easier to keep clean IMHO. All you to is use the windshield cleaning brush when you are at the gas station. The bedliner doesn't hold bugs like the gloss paint. And if you really want to spiff it up use tire shine applied with a sponge to keep the color dark and get rid of mud in the texture of the bedliner. Great easy mod that looks awesome and is beneficial. I used duplicolor rattlecan myself. Just take the shine out of the paint with a scotch pad then paint. No need to prep anymore. Make sure you let it cure a week before washing. Other than that mines been done over a year and looks as good as the day I sprayed it on!

I've been thinking about painting my flowmaster 40 with bedliner too. I painted it black with high temp spraypaint when I first put it on, but like a dumbass, hit it with a power washer after weekend in a mud pit and knocked off half of the paint...
