Default Bedlining top inside/and out. Questions

Going to bedline inside and outside of my top w/ spray can bedliner. Going to do the inside first and then flip it over and do the outside. I think im going to use the Duplicolor as Ive found while searching that most people have success w/ it.

Couple of questions, how many coats for the inside? How many for outside?

How long does it take each coat to dry? I will be doing this in a heated shop if that helps.

Do I just use regular wood sandpaper to rough it up and then rub it w/ some rubbing alcohol?

Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the advice, thats why I ask as I have a tendancy to do stupid things! Anyone else have dos and donts?

Default inside.

i only painted the inside of my top.. and used the duplicolor truck bed liner.. i just used a piece of sand paper and roughed up the inside then wiped it clean with a rag and water.. let it dry.. taped off my windows with newpaper and frogtape (awesome stuff) then sprayed it down! one coat! if it scuffs off just touch it up.. very simple and cheap

Love JK forum logo. I was wanting to do the inside of mine, but wasn't too sure I wanted all black. I now have some great inspiration.

I understand the rest of the country might still be cold, but here in Florida it's getting hot already. Any changes in cabin temp thanks to this? Thanks

i havent noticed any changes in temp. i do believe that this wont change anything since it is in the inside of the top.. and my top is also off when the temp is up that high haha
