lol by the time i got done reposting pics nonamekid fixed it for me, sry about the redundancy

[nonamekid]

All is good. Takes a little bit of practice to get used to posting pics. Looks like you have mastered it now.

I like !!! It should improve your mileage, Mine sweeps road dust off my
back window now, this tells me we have the aerodynamics of a golf ball!!

[caprisecca]

i never thought of it like that, i will like it even more now then if it improves my mpg

Another great benefit is the sun doesn't heat the metal of the car as much, so
the inside stays cooler in the summer. The Cold in the winter is easier to heat..
And those radar trailers that tell your speed? I have to be perfect inline and close
to get my speed..
This stuff is so easy to clean and have it looking great.
You did really good with taping and blocking..looks great!

I don't know what bedliner material does for potential resale but you certainly got yourself a durable finish!

:eeeeeek: Sell a Festy?? :eeeeeek:

When I put full coverage on I added value to cover putting this finish
on another car..

There are no records of sales with this that I know of.

Bedliner paint job = inexpensive and durable = very very cool!
