That's pretty cool. I didn't even know they came in color. I have a tonneau cover and was looking at something to line my bed. I was going to get a bed rug but now I'll have to reconsider.

Like mentioned previously, the colors wil fade over time. A pink bed would be a disaster! Good thing I have a shell. lol

I know the Line-x in my backyard offers a Kevlar protection for about $150. If you ever take the cap off it might be a good idea. The Kevlar protection is sopposed to keep the color from fading while adding more protection to the bed. By the way you truck looks AWESOME. Definetley will have my vote for TOTM.

I'm sure they have some kind of guarantee? i did notice on their website they have "freshen-up" coatings??? What's this if they warranty it?

Anyways, Red when faded does have a orange or Pink hue to it depending on certain chemical. This gets amplified when faded.

I personally am a fan of the black. I dunno if it's because that's what I'm used to or what? How much more was the color than the black?

A couple hundred. I don't recall exactly. I wouldn't do the color if you can't keep it covered or parked in a garage. Dark colors like blue or black would robably be fine. But who wants to risk a pink bedliner? lol

For one, my stepdad would take a pink bedliner. Hell, he'd probably even take a Mary Kay car.
The red looks nice, but I don't know how much I would like that. It makes me think of being red interior, mostly without the glossy look of the rest of your truck.

I hear ya on the glossy part, but I've yet to see a truck bed that actually stayed glossy after a year or two of use. Plus it looks good when I open the cap.

I’m sure any bedliner will fade over time if left exposed, no matter what color. Although black fading to gray, will still look a lot better than red fading to pink.

I have Kevlar in my bedliner which is black yes it will fade over years but that the beauty of it...

Here is a pic of what use to be a red sprayliner Not to steer anyone away from it just let it be known!
