Pulled out the rubber F-150 bed mat and scrubbed it down and washed down the bed after it was removed...

yes very, and 17 cans = $100, best $100 I spent on my truck so far..

I researched about vinyl wrapping but always comes up at $3000+
plasti dip with a pro and with gallons would have been $1200+

doing it myself with cans = $100, it's rubber anyway, gallons or spray I don't think there is a difference, and I can remove it anytime by peeling it..

This is how she looked a couple weeks ago

Since then I've had custom rock sliders and window tint coming in just over a week. I'll post more pics after tint and wash.

Cool My FX4 Ride

Added "Access" Lorado tonneau cover and bumper grill this past weekend. Looks great. Still a little confused why Ford doesn't put a bumper grill on. Anyway have my "BOWTEC" and "Pheasant" decals on the way. I am a archery and pheasant hunter.
