bedliner fade

anyone know of a way to keep a linex from fading other than their 75 dollar "UV protectant"

in talking to all the different companies they all fade. i think for my money when i get another truck i'll have the bed sprayed out in grey instead that way when it fades it will be much less noticable. you could always use a uv protectant wax on it but if you plan on really using the bed then you just might as well live with it. i don't know how the uv topcoat holds up to rugged use, i'd be really interested in seeing someone who uses their bed on a regular basis with the top coating to how it looks after a few years.

If you want a bedliner that doesn't fade, you need to look for the term "aliphatic" polyurethane or polyurea.

Some products., ie Superliner, are aliphatic products that accept automotive tints to match any color, and like auto paint, they won't fade as quickly or dramatically, like the "aromatic" blends.

Spray a bunch of Eagle 1 tire shine . Of course you won't be able to haul anything for days but who cares, I almost never use my ride to carry stuff in the bed anyways.

Anyone know the name of a company that uses this method for their spray-on liners?
