Can You Clear Coat Truck Bed Liner?

The question of whether or not you can clear coat truck bed liner is one that many people have asked before. The answer is yes, you can clear coat a truck bed liner if it is the right type of bed liner. There are two types of bed liners: spray-on and roll-on.

Spray-on bed liners are made from a polyethylene-based material that is sprayed onto the surface of your truck. Roll-on bed liners are made from rubberized asphalt and they are applied with a roller. Both types of bed liners will protect your truck’s paint job and provide it with additional durability, but only one type can be clear coated.

Spray-on bed liners can be clear coated with a variety of different products such as urethane, epoxy and polyurethane. These coatings will help to seal in the color of the spray-on liner, protect it from UV damage, and keep it looking new for years to come. Clear coating a spray-on bed liner requires precise application, so it is best to consult with an auto body repair shop or professional paint shop for advice on which product to use and how best to apply it.

Roll-on bed liners cannot be clear coated because they are made from rubberized asphalt which does not accept any type of coating or paint product well. This means that while they will still provide protection for your truck’s paint job, they won’t look as nice as a spray-on liner with a clear coat finish. Roll-on liners should be cleaned regularly with soap and water to keep them looking their best over time.

In conclusion, you can clear coat a spray-on truck bed liner in order to protect the color and extend its lifespan, but roll-on liners cannot be coated due to their composition. If you’re looking for added protection for your truck’s paint job then consider having a professional apply a clear coat finish onto your spray-on liner for maximum effect.
