Carpet and bedliner

[jay3253]

I am trying to cover my drawer system and wanted to know what everyone uses to cover their drawer system. I would like to use bedliner and carpet but don't know if I should prime first or just put it on. Should I prep the wood in some way before I put the liner and carpet down please help I don't want all my hard work to be wrecked.

Not total sure what your doing but the auto shop has a carpet that is used in the box of a pickup. It is used as a bedliner and a option to the old plastic bedliners. Can order bottom/sides/tailgate what ever section you like, will even do the canopy. $ though. Was looking at it for the bottom of my tin boat, cut to the size I need. Anyhoot if I am way off course, sorry about that, still on my first coffee.

I sprayed bed liner on my plywood drawer system just a couple days ago. I first used the duplicolor brand, and it wasn't that good. Then I tried Rustoleum and it had a lot more power in the can, and the spray was much better. Duplicolor was at Advance Auto Parts and Rustoleum was at Wal-Mart. Same price pretty much. Depending on how thick you want the liner to be, you can save on coats and spray cans by painting the wood black first. But the liner stuck just fine on painted and bare plywood. It is good to sand the plywood first so you don't have a lot of tiny little bed liner splinters.

oh and spray the liner away from the wood first, mine was really concentrated on the first spray and left a small puddle

the rustoleum bedliner is awesome. my previous jeep was sprayed completely in and out with it and its super durable.
