Finished Tonneau Cover!

I just finished my home made tonneau cover. I built it all from scratch. I made it out of plywood and 2x4's that were painted with Herculiner on top and the bottom was treated to a coat of black paint followed by 2 coats of polyurithane. It's held in place by ratchet straps for easy removal/installation. I think it turned out OK. Just wanted to let everyone know that you can do it yourself. This way I saved a lot of money and had some fun in the process.

I bought the 2 gallons of Herculiner from Tractor Supply (sprayed the bed at the same time I did the cover) and the air gun from Eastwood Company. Other than that, I used a router (already had it from previous project) and a circular saw. The other things like tape and .75 mil plastic drop cloth I picked up at Home Depot. That was it.
