Default redneck bed cover

I had some plywood lying around and decided to build a bed cover.
I also put a design on it to custom it up a little bit.

I'll give you props for doing well with the painting. It'll get that real redneck look after it gets wet a few times.

Stretch some fleece/fiberglass resin over it. Sand it, paint it and it will look awesome.

Thanks. Just for the record, I realize this is cheap. I used to work part time at lowe's and got the two sheets of 3/8" plywood for nothing and the paint was from leftover paint from my brother who got too much paint for his hood. I made a stencil from 24"x36" cardboard. And "pinstriped" with a silver sharpie marker. The whole thing has also got 2 coats of clear.
