Line-X spray-in bedliner color match???

Anyone have something other than black for their spray-in bedliner? Pics? I would like to have the bed of my truck sprayed to match the Pueblo Gold bed rail covers. My truck is white, and I definitely don't want the bedliner to be white, but I think the Pueblo Gold would look good.

Thanks...

My KR is Forest Green with Pueblo Gold trim. I had my bed sprayed to match the green.

My thoughts...stay with a darker color as light color will show any and all dirt/grease/marks in the bed. The dealer agreed with me after I asked him to match the green and not the gold. He said there have been lots of customers back with light colored liners who do not like the looks of the liner.

Now I have the traditional black Line-X, but I did some research before I got it. It seems the color matched liner will fade - and somewhat quickly. Some Line-X dealers won't spray it and those who will won't warranty it for very long. Again, this is SOME of the Line-X dealers. KingRanch Glenn is right on the money - a light colored liner will show everything!

Good luck!

Good points, I guess I'll just get it sprayed black. I'm going to put a tonneau cover over the bed anyway, so it'll be covered up most of the time.

Thanks guys for the info!

Line-X color is colormatched using automotive paint pigment (Nason, DuPont, etc.). It won't fade any faster than the paint on your truck. Some liners do use other colorants that will fade like a plastic would ... which, as we all know, is infintely faster than automotive paint. However, for Line-X, you'll be fine. There is a separate forum here just for bedliners. Lots of info there.

Check this post out. Page 2 has some really good color-matched shots.

67L48...wow, great information in that link you posted. I just got done reading it and I'll be asking my local dealer a lot of questions.

Thanks for the very helpful information!

After seeing the pic below with pueblo gold color-matched bedliner, I think I'm going to go that route. That looks dark enough for me. If my dealer does it and at a reasonable price, I'll be looking at the Line-X Xtra in pueblo gold. The fading shouldn't be too much of an issue for me since I plan to install a tonneau cover and it will be covered most of the time. I don't use my bed for heavy duty stuff, so I'm not concerned with messing up the finish. I mostly do chores around the house and maybe haul some lumber, mulch, and furniture.

Looks like the Line-X Xtra provides...
1. Gloss and resists fading
2. Better stain resistance
3. Scratch resistant
4. Actually migrates into the bedliner
5. Very durable, contains DuPont KEVLAR micro pulp fiber
6. Maintains the unique LINE-X texture
7. Available in black or exact truck color matching
