Question What should I paint the underside of my tonneau cover with?

I have been thinking about covering the underside of my Topdeck Tonneau Cover with some sort of material like the Bedrug is made of. But I have been unable to find any. I was thinking that it would look pretty good if I just painted it black. The underside of my particular cover is just bare fiberglass. What would you recommend I use to paint it with. What kind of paint? Or should I use maybe some kind of bedliner type stuff?

I'm planning on trying to sell it and I'm just trying to make it look more presentable.

Spencer, i think anything other then spray paint would be a bit much on the shocks of the cover.. if i was doing it i would use a self etching primer and then a semi-gloss black enamel..

Thanks for the info. I posted this on SVTP and a dude over there posted a link to where I could get the Bedrug material. I think I'll just get a roll of that and glue it to the underside of the cover.

If you call bedrug, they will sell you some of the carpet. They sell it in 1/4 and 1/2 inch thickness

That's what this other place sells. And it's cheap too.

I had mine covered at a local audio shop. The carpet they use is VERY close match. at it was $100 for the carpet and them to install.
