Just did mine last week. I used Plastikote bedliner spray from Tractor Supply. Very easy and I love the way it looks.

I did mine a few months ago and have had no problems either. I sanded mine down completely and hit it with 2 coats of flat black Rustoleum for plastic. I follower that with a couple coats of spray bedliner. From sanding to install was about 2.5 hours because it dried so fast.

Those red grill inserts look badass I went with the all black which looks great on the silver jeep (i imagine it would look great on your white too).
I just took all those bug guts off with a hose and simple wipe of the hand, no problem. I even took a hard scrub brush to it just to see how well it would hold up - no issues.

Used the rustoleum bedliner for mine. I took the letters off and shot them with some rustoleum satin black. Only a couple of months old but is holding up just fine.

Just get the metal mesh and paint it red yourself.

I did mine about a month ago and it came out awesome. Used 300 grit sandpaper to sand it and did three coats. Cool easy mod

I've done numerous parts on my Cherokees and Wranglers with bedliner.

I even did my 96 XJ all over with black and tan coloured bedliner. My first Project Black and Tan...lol

You have some good advice in this thread...prep work is the key to success.

If I can add my two cents, go easy with the coats. Different bedliner brands cure differently but one thing I have noticed is that if you go too heavy on the coats and you don't let every coat cure enough between application, the last coat will dry but the first coat(s) will still be ''wet''.

Take your time and allow every coat to dry.

And shake your can vigorously for a few minutes before starting and every 2 minutes or so during application.

Have fun.
