    Just seeing to see if you would spray bed liner in the bed of your van ? I was thinking of doing that but I seen some talk on a econo truck that was for sale and some didn't like it . The bed of my van was used a lot . Lot of dents and it's rough . No rust . Trying to decide to replace bed or spray a liner . What's your thoughts. ?

    I heard some guys say that people are trying to hide something . Also heard some people say it is frowned upon . My bed is just a little beat up . Not hiding any rust or cancer . Plus I think it might help on the noise and I thought it might make it look better . Thanks for the replies.

    MY Van's floor was done before it was painted from front to back except the wheel wells and I love it.. There is no road noise helps with the heat and cleans up easy also and all the seams are sealed..... I will do my next VAN that way also (A Sports Van) Just make sure all the repair work is done before you spray it on..(Or Roll It On) I would recommend it on any Van before putting any kind of flooring in first ... Smile ..IT really Does make a Big difference...

    There was a van for sale recently with a custom paint job that most of us did not like, and the entire outside was done with bed liner. It would be quite a task to scrape it off to repaint.

    Bed liner on the floor and even up the walls to the top of the wheel tubs is fine with me.

But Just My Opinion I would save the bedliner for the Floors Only it would work great on the walls also BUT if you ever have to do any body work or welding down the road you are takeing a chance of a fire just like the spray foam once its dryed it there for good..!!!.. Smile ..

    Yea I'm planning on just doing the floors . I'm going to take pictures of the floor before I get it done just incase I ever sell it so I can show that I'm not hiding anything . Also not planning on selling it . I figure when I ever get it done Ill have about 15,000 in it . Also just had new cragar ss wheels and white letter tires put on yesterday . I'm working out of town haven't seen them yet . Can't wait .

    My bed is Rhino-lined, its amazing. It was done maybe 5 years before I got my truck, and Ive had it for almost 10 years and is not peeling or worn through. Highly recommended if you use your truck bed a lot! My only drawback with it so far is that there were no drain holes put in, so if you park on any sort of decline you will fill the bed with a lot of water/snow/ice. Also there is a ring of mold from this that I have not yet gotten around to cleaning.. pretty minor.
