    I never understood how you can add your car's color to a bedliner and make it match your paint. Is the tintable version clear? Seems like you would have to add a lot of paint to make it anywhere close to matching your car.

    I can only speak for the raptor liner I used.
    There is a A and B fill points on the bottle. Point A is for hardener and point b is for base color. Shake bottle and spray. The raptor tintable liner is a cream color before you add color. Here are some pics I found of tinted liner applied.

    This guy said he added 4 ounces of PPG base coat to each bottle


    Here are some more shots of tintable raptor liner.

    Not at all. I just taped off the areas I did not want it to reach and no over spray really due to the thickness of the material. Like I said its a very simple product to use.

    Its all personal taste man. I would not bedliner a frame but that just me. I just epoxy primer my frames and top coat with a single stage satin black. I'm happy with that look.

    I have a bottle left over, but I covered the bottom with two coats and shot from a distance that gave me smoother texture than if I sprayed at a closer range.

    Bam, product looks great, but what about prep? I have a small trailer with diamond plate floor. Surface rusted of course.
    Does the surface have to be super clean, like blasted or would wire brushing it be good?

    I would not blast it. I would wire brush to remove the surface rust, clean with wax and grease remover, shoot two coats of epoxy and then shoot the raptor liner of that. I really believe in epoxy primer for corrosion protection.
