Ford F150 - Beautiful Black Bed
Here is a look at our bed before we got started at Vortex Spray Liners. It has several big paint chips, dings, and surface damage from seven years of use.
Because the truck used to have a BedRug in it, each piece of Velcro that was held on by double-sided tape had to be removed, as well as any other stuff stuck to the bed.
Each Torx bed bolt needed to be removed and was covered before the liner was sprayed on.
Just like in the painting process, prep is very important to spraying a bed liner. Here, Juan wrapped the truck after he taped off the bed sides, tailgate area, and roll pan.
Victor and Juan then began the sanding process making sure the bed was ready to be sprayed.
Juan finished up the prep work by wiping down the freshly sanded bed with Acetone.
Ken Kott, of Vortex then assembled his spray gun and wheeled the completely portable Vortex coating system over to the truck.
With the machine running at 20 psi, Ken laid down a nice smooth and even coat of Vortex onto the bed. The tailgate also received a Vortex coating, though not shown.
Check out how nice and smooth the end result looks.
Juan then went back and applied the special UV protectant to the Vortex liner. This will prevent any fading and white chalking.
Five hours after the truck was rolled into the booth, the bed looked great.
