Houstonians love their trucks. And in Texas, it is not because it’s the “in” thing to have. Many haul and work with their trucks, from hauling lumber to small farm animals. Of course, Houstonians love to use their trucks for playtime, too. A truck is central to many Houstonians’ lives. If you’re the owner of a pickup truck, you know how important it is to protect your vehicle’s bed. The truck bed is the most vulnerable part of the vehicle, as it is constantly exposed to the elements and subjected to heavy wear and tear. One of the best ways to protect your truck bed is by installing a spray-on bedliner. Here are 5 benefits of spray on bedliners for your truck.
PROTECTS AGAINST RUST AND DAMAGE
The most obvious benefit of a spray-on bedliner is protection from damage. Normally, your truck’s bed is covered by a layer or two of auto body paint. All it takes is a 2×4 scraping the bottom of the bed to scratch the paint all the way to the metal. That exposed metal can then rust in this Houston humidity. Unlike drop-in bedliners, which can shift and cause damage to the truck bed over time, spray-on bedliners are permanent and form a bond with the bed.A spray-on bed liner completely coats your truck bed’s surface and creates an air and watertight seal. They are meant to be much tougher and stronger than a coat of paint, so you can put whatever you need on the bed of your truck and not worry about creating spots that are going to rust later.
Spray-on bedliners are also resistant to UV rays, which can cause the truck bed to fade and become brittle over time. With a spray-on bedliner, your truck bed will stay protected and maintain its appearance for years to come.
RESELL THE VALUE OF YOUR TRUCK
A majority of truck owners sell or trade-in their trucks to upgrade to a newer truck. A spray-on bedliner can increase the resale value of your truck. A well-maintained bedliner can help preserve the condition of your truck bed, making it more attractive to potential buyers. In addition, a customized bedliner can add value to your vehicle and make it stand out from the competition.
When it comes time to sell your truck, having a high-quality spray-on bedliner can help you get top dollar for your vehicle. This makes a spray-on bedliner a smart investment that can pay off in the long run.
NON-SLIP SURFACE
We have established that the equipment and furniture you haul can damage the truck bed. However, you also have to consider that what you are hauling could be damaged too. Truck beds are inherently slick, making things easy to slide around. The texture of a spray-on bedliner provides a non-slip surface that helps prevent cargo from shifting around during transport. This is especially important when transporting heavy items or driving on uneven terrain.
A spray-on bedliner also makes it easier to climb in and out of the truck bed. The texture of the bedliner provides additional grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
CUSTOM-FIT
Another benefit of getting a spray on bed liner is that it will fit your individual truck bed perfectly. With drop-in liners, you have to take a bunch of measurements in order to get it close to a good fit, and even then, you are probably going to lose some space in your truck’s bed. With spray on bedliner, you get a perfect fit and get to keep your truck’s bed space.
Easy to Maintain
One of the best things about a spray-on bedliner is how easy it is to maintain. Unlike drop-in bedliners, which can become dirty and require frequent cleaning, spray-on bedliners are easy to clean and maintain. They rarely get damaged. In the rare instance they do, spray on liners can be easily repaired. They do not warp like drop-in bedliners do. Bed liners reduce the amount of repair and maintenance your truck will need overall because you do not have to worry about chips in your paint or rust spots on the bed.
In conclusion, a spray-on bedliner is an excellent investment for any pickup truck owner. With its ability to protect your truck bed from damage, improve traction, and make maintenance easy, a spray-on bedliner is a smart choice for anyone who wants to keep their vehicle in top condition. If you’re like many here in Houston and love your truck, one of the best things you can do for your truck is get a spay on bedliner. Your truck will thank you.
