Plasti-dip is alright...I don't use the stuff bc I don't last.

I used PlastiKote bedliner...very few places sell it but its good stuff. Used it on my bumper I built. And that bumper saw abuse.

Here is a pic of the can...tractor suply is the only place I've found that carries it!

Looks really nice! Finishes it off now!

I do vortex bedliners as a side biz, I have used the pkastikote before on undercoating jobs to get into the areas I cant reach with the gun otnerwise...its by far the best liner in a can I have seen!

Nice...hows business? How do you like the vortex?

I was looking to get into a side business with the Raptor UPol kits they sell on ebay...I've heard good things about them. And $110 for everything you need to do a bed with gun.

And yes, plasti kote is the best I've seen out of a can...I've used them all lol

Im a fan of chrom on trucks, but that really finishes it off with the two tone you have goin. looks good man

Bumper looks good man. That chrome stood out way too much on your truck.

Business is so so. the vortex material is awesome. But it a good chunk of change to invest. I bought the system cause there was a custom truck truck shop in town wanting to do them in house. My brother in law was a sales guy there so after we talked with the owner we agreed to a deal. they would offer them for sale, I could use their shop and they get 20% of ones they sell for me, and 10% of each one I do that i sold myself as rent.

So basically, I got a shop space for a great price and they got to offer another product to their customers. So I bought the system...$15,000 and went for training, got back got all setup over a weekend........3 days later they dropped a bomb on everybody when the owner showed up and locked the doors for good! He owed over hundred grand in employee witholding taxes!

So for the last 2 years I have been working out of my garage, havent really advertised it much either cause I cant fit a whole truck in my tiny garage.

I think if you had the space and some advertising it would go great, Ive just been too busty with construction to really push it ya know.

schroederMP 05-21-2012 11:23 PM

Damn...yea don't think I can afford that. Good you got a chance to get it.

I'll stick with the $115 UPOL kits ha

06VT365 05-21-2012 11:32 PM

Yeah! Thats a good idea! If I wouldve known what was going to transpire I wouldve went that route too! :)
