It is really great stuff. 4 years later and still no fiberglass in the forearms! I just recently did an update video if you want to see how it looks after years - ruclips.net/video/jnC2RD-CCbY/видео.html
WOW!!! Can’t argue with results!!! Looks fantastic, Mike, and they almost look brand new. A little time, effort and the right product really paid off. Good idea for the fender flares, don’t see why it wouldn’t work, albeit with much more effort and prep work.
Wow I'm glad YT recommended this video. I literally started today trying to find a way to stop the fiberglass itch. I have a 2017 Ram and live in Phx AZ. The sun beat them up pretty good in less than 2-3 years. Been dealing with this since then. Did you prep the rails with anything before you sprayed them?
i didn't do any prep. I figured all the oils where all dried out of it as well and I was right. This finish is still doing ok years later. I did a follow up video about a year ago.
Second time trying to post, YT erased it WHY???? Just finished and they look great. I got almost 4 full coats out of the one can. Put it on light first coat, heavier on the remaining coats. Waited about a hour between coats.Took about 72 hrs to cure before it wasn't sticky. It's in the 100"s already here with almost no humidity(5/29/24). Might take longer where you are located. Broke off about 5-6 tabs on removal. Az sun just made them more brittle I guess. Watch the video here to get them off easier: Ram Truck Bed Cap Removal | Never Break A Tab Again | Ram Bedside PDR | Dent Baron, Raleigh, NC. I used 3M Super Strength Molding Tape around the holes where they broke off. It's thin but one layer is plenty. That S**t is sticky. Prepped the bed rails and caps with alcohol before putting the tape on. Got a 15 foot roll on Amazon for $10. Walmart has it around same price for a 5 foot roll. Trashed the push pins taking them out. I had a push pin kit from Harbor Freight they worked fine. Dodge wanted over $5 per pin, F that. We'll see how long it lasts out here in the AZ sun. No more itchy hands and arms.
Wow that stuff really made a difference Mike. The truck looks great and I agree you should do the fender flares. For a minute there I thought this was going to turn into a Geico Commercial lol. Papadan

I have an 09 Ram 1500 and mine has the fiberglass in them too. I can’t seem to find the size I need for my truck to replace them, so I think I’ll try painting mine too. Where did you get your paint from? Thank you!
It still looks like I just painted it. Good stuff. Really resists chips and scrapes too. I am a lawn service by trade and really bang that truck around alot. I'm gonna do the fender flares too.
Toppervision1 good to know, I’m looking into doing something similar on my Honda Ridgeline. I don’t want to go full Bedliner is: raptoliner or scorpion rather something quick and easy like a rattle can but there’s just so many options and hard to tell which one will actually last. Thanks for the reply
Wow big difference mike looks great I had them same protectors on my pickup I believe they are resin and not plastic not 100% on that but I used the body molding paint on mine and was still getting fiberglass on my arms and hands let me know how this stuff holds up down the road did the lizard jump up from the ground? Or was he on the garbage can?
I really didn't see where the lizard came from. It surprised me. Yea, I was thinking that this bedliner spray would be thick enough to seal the fiberglass in. So far so good. We'll see in like a year.
Thanks, I did this to my truck today and it worked really well. I only did one coat for now but it came out nice, no more fiberglass on the forearms.

Yea, I think I will spray the flares too. But like you say, not looking forward to the prep on those.
Looks brand new!!! Good job
Hello, I know this an old post but how does the trim come off? Do you just wedge something under it and pop it off?
Thanks
Thanks for the great video. I completed the restoration and it looks great!
Cool!
that lizard definatelly be sponspred by Raptor-liner paint , sneaky advertisement lol
how did it hold up a years later?
Curious if there are any other colors such as Pueblo gold or beige? My king ranch bed molding and tailgate need to be painted. Thanks for the idea!

too. I can’t seem to find the size I need for my truck to replace them, so I think I’ll try painting mine too. Where did you get your paint from?
Thank you!
I think it was from Advance Auto Parts
Textured enuff 4 Mr. Lizard to Get a Grip LOL & the Guards look Good again as well. I'd Say,,, Mission Accomplished Houston,,LoL,, God Bless All
I see some runs in the application
Great video, thinking about doing the same with mine. How are they holding up now? Keeping their appearance well? Thanks!
Yes. They still look like they were just painted. Very durable finish too. I've had stuff stacked against it and it didn't come off.
How is the paint holding up? Does washing your truck cause any issues to the paint?
Thank you
It's still looks great! No no, water doesn't do anything to it.
@@Toppervision1 thank you for getting back to me. Do you think that putting on a clear coat after is necessary?
@@powerwh33ls No, not really. Mine still looks good and I just realized it's been 2 years not 1.
Very cool brother thanks for sharing looking good
My question is when you lean on it did fiberglass still get on your skin?
No, not at all. Even now a couple years later you can lean on it with no fiberglass fibers. It's really good stuff.
Looks good! How has it held up? Looks like you posted this about a year ago.

Toppervision1 lol the lizard was quick lol too funny it will be interesting to see if that lasts longer then the body molding paint I used thanks.
Great video! Thank you Sir.
Did you put any plastic promotor?
Na, I just sprayed it on. I did an update video recently. It still looks good! Stuck on there there well with no primer or anything.
Quick question Sir does it look Glossy?
The lizard is everything 🦎😂
Looks so good? Any chance on a 1 year update?
Oh yea. That's a good idea.
@8:30. It depends. It’s half full of your filling the can up. It’s half empty if your pouring (spraying) it out. LOL.
That made those look great Mike, really set off the truck. What did you do with the lizard? Ron LOL
Ha, well these lizards are everywhere down here. I just let him go on and do his thing...
Good use of this product I think
Thanks man.
Hey sir. How has this held up?
Yea, it's still holding up pretty good. Still on there and looking fine. Whatever the date is on this video.
How bad was the smell of this spray?
Hard to say. I've just kinda gotten used to them all.
Haha. Thanks bud. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. 😂
How are they holding up?
They still look like they were just painted. It's good stuff.
how is it going now?
It is holding up well. Still looks fresh and it does hold up against scrapes. Good stuff.
How many cans did that take?
Just 1 can. I even have some left. Great stuff btw. It is still looking good!
Nice
primer ?
