How Much Liner Does a Truck Bed Raptor Need?

Raptor truck bed liners are a great way to protect the paint and metal of your truck bed from scratches, dents and other damage. The amount of liner needed for your truck bed depends on the size of the bed and the type of liner you are using.

Size Matters

The size of your truck bed is a major factor in determining how much liner you need. If you have a smaller truck bed, then you will likely need less liner than if you had a larger one.

The general rule of thumb is that 1 gallon of liner should cover 10 square feet of area, so if you have a 100 square foot truck bed, then you will need 10 gallons of liner. It’s best to measure your truck bed before purchasing any materials so that you know exactly what size you need.

Type of Liner

The type of liner also affects how much you need for your truck bed. If you are using an aerosol spray-on liner, then it will require less product than if you were using a roll-on or brush-on version.

With aerosol liners, it’s best to apply several thin coats to ensure an even application. With roll-on and brush-on liners, it’s important to apply several thick coats so that they can adhere properly to the surface.

Preparation
No matter what type of liner you choose, it’s important to prepare the surface before applying the product. This includes cleaning the surface with soap and water as well as sanding down any rough spots or rust that may be present. This will help ensure that the product adheres properly and provides maximum protection for your truck bed.

Conclusion: How much liner does a truck bed raptor need? The answer depends on both the size and type of liner being used as well as the preparation done beforehand.

Generally speaking, 1 gallon should cover 10 square feet and several thin coats should be applied for aerosol liners while multiple thick coats should be used for roll-on or brush-on versions. Preparing the surface before application is also important for ensuring maximum protection from scratches and dents in your truck bed.
