How much weight do you think that it would add to the baja and how many gallons do you think it would take? I had an XLiner on a pickup and I don't think that paint would stick to one of these coating very well - has anyone tried to paint one of these coatings? Now if they just sold this stuff by the quart you could use tan, brown and black and have a nice camo job that would last for ever. Also does this stuff stick to fiberglass?

My understanding is bed liner sticks to most anything (especially skin!)

But it will reduce road noise... similar to undercoating.

Dont have a clue as to how heavy it is, might try getting some in a spray bomb at the parts store and spraying down something that you have already weighed.

Some of the offroad guys fiberglass the insides of their cars... lots of sound dampening, but VERY heavy.

It's definitely available in a wide range of colors. AS far as weight, depends on how thick you go. My buddy just bought a v10 f350 crew cab for his company and the rhino lining he had done is 3/8" thick on the floor of the bed and 1/4" on the sides, so it's probably pretty darn heavy.

Do not forget that, If you do a great camo job and it blends i real well. That guy drivng the big jimmy will never see you. And who do you think would win if you guys get close and personal. Jimmiy 1 Baja Flat.

I like to be seen sooner that later, But for Drug smuggling etc. the Camo is a great choice :)

digital camo is badass, but it would definitely be difficult to paint on...

check the marcorsyscom link in my post above.

And as far as painting it on, it's really not that hard. I've seen quite a few old CJ's rollin on base already rattlecanned.

A roll of blue tape, an assortment of cardboard square stencils, and a box of Krylon and you're set.

on the subject of camo... anybody seen one done in arctic camo, or i guess urban camo might be a title for it? Basically using black white & grey? Living in Montana it would be a fitting theme, but i'd like to see something done in it.

Painting all those tiny little USMC logos hidden in there would drive anyone insane.
