Im trying to decided whether to do pro liner vs regular paint for the full exterior. There isnt a ton of information on pro liner online. The guy told me you could do it in colors and even clear coat it for a gloss look. Has anyone used proliner to cover their whole rig, if so can you post some pics. If have seen a tahoe done it all black with it and I wasn't that impressed. I was hoping someone that has done it in color would post some picks of their rig so I can get an idea of how it would look. If it not pro liner that ok too. Any bed liner type product that texture would help. Feel free to give me you opinions on what you think too. The rig is an 86 K5 that was originally charcoal gray and I am thinking about doing the original color again. It doesn't see a huge amount of time offroad so the ruggedness of the proliner isn't a huge appeal for this allocation. The price is great and the stuff last forever which is definitely a plus.

Has anyone done it and regretted the choice? I have put a ton of money into this thing to try and increase overall driveabilty and reliability. Now I want it to look good too, but I still plan to take it offload. Let me know what you guys opinions are anf post some pics if you have any.

Not too sure about pro liner, but when I was researching the U-Pol Raptor I saw a 4 runner I think it was that had most of the body done to match the body color and it turned out lighter. So it's not as simple as mix a color with the tintable bedliner and get that exact color. It would have to be played with, white seemed to be an exception and was close to a match which is what I was going to use on my zr2. Google it and you will get some ideas, it lays on similar to linex which I liked, but UV friendly cuz it's like a mix between paint and bedliner.
 
oh and it's also pretty cheap and comes with the gun to spray it on...and I just noticed Tyler, Tx....do you know Ken Herring?:haha:
