Why not have the bedliner tinted to match? When I had the spray-on bedliner sprayed into my F-150, the sprayer offered to tint the liner to match the truck's color. If memory serves, that liner was Ameriguard or something like that. Line-X's web site says they offer tinted spray-on liners. You can also get tintable do-it-yourself kits.NVSteve wrote: I'm not sure about bedlining & painting. A number of different sites have people who have done it with both good & bad results.

I used VHT black epoxy comes in a rattle can on my light bar seems to be holding up great.NVSteve wrote:Looks very nice! I humbly bow to your prowess.
Before I get this in my hands, anyone have any opinions on what would look best?
1. Paint the bar with a similar (doubt it would be exact) color as the rest of my Pathfinder.
2. Bedliner the entire thing and leave as-is.
3. Bedliner, then paint with same color as the Pathfinder.

That's the thing though, I don't really want it to stand out any more than necessary. I'd like for it to blend in as much as possible, speaking of the bar only. Nothing I can really do to make 4x 6" lights inconspicuous.jasunderland wrote:I dont think you should paint it the same color as the car.... make it contrast a little.
I spent far too much for a can of Duraliner when I redid my sliders, and I still have a bit more than half a can left that I can use for the light bar. Great stuff & very simple to apply. I think the difference between Duraliner and the rest is that Duraliner has a very chunky (not gritty) finish.on the topic of bed liner, i used a roll/brush on bed liner on my Toro Timecutter Z ZTR mower... where your feet go.... it is turned out really well.
