Default Bedliner Paint Job?

A little over a year ago I painted my rocker panels with the Rustoleum Bedliner (roll on). The stuff has held up well and looks just as good as when I applied it. IMO the rocker panels now look much better than the rest of the truck. I've been seeing pictures on the internet with complete bedliner paint jobs and thought about doing the whole truck with the bedliner.
Does anyone here know someone that has painted there whole vehicle with a bedliner paint or has done it themselves? If so do they / you still like it or have any regrets?

I knew a guy who did it on his ram and he hated it. After some time it faded and you could see the original paint.. only way I would do it was if it was strictly an off road truck only. Even then it would be tough to spend that kind of money

Two people in my shop at work did this and it looks like ****!! One did it to an '04 hemi ram, and another to his S10 jimmy. Granted, they did use herculiner (garbage) but I have seen professional spray on jobs and they look stupid too. Don't do it.

I think Newman's is completely lined, but I don't know what product. I'm sure he posted about it here.

Looks great to me!! Depends on your purpose and type of finish really.

Thanks!
I was hoping to see one like that, the same body style, year and it even has the same dent I have on my rear bumper.
I decided to do something like BackwoodsRam did with his truck. Thanks again.

It was sprayed with line-X, it has held up great. Even after 6 years and many scrapes against bushes and trees, it looks like the day it was sprayed. All I have to do to clean it is spray it with tire cleaner and walk away. And it makes one hell of a chalk board!

Hey Newman, if you don't mind me asking... How much did it cost to have the whole sprayed? I need to repaint my hood and fenders as they they're sun damaged and scratched, but I figured I might as well have it line-x'd in a couple years instead after it's lifted.

It cost about $2200, and I don't have any regrets.

Never thought about that.
