Kidding aside, kind of cool. In case you ever find yourself in a parking lot full of Mav's it will surely be easy to find yours from a distance without chipping the key fob!

Thanks for sharing. I hope to get a Cactus Grey one day and would like to do the bedliner myself. This is giving me some good ideas.
Do your wheels next

Thought about something like that...would have to be somewhat understated cause I don't want to overdo it by going all the way on the rims. found this pic of a bronco with bead locking kit on it...not bad.
I just love how people enjoy customizing these trucks! I can appreciate the pleasure that comes from planning a mod and the satisfaction of a job well done.
Nice-looking truck. Kudos!

You could also try to find a set of Tremor wheels if there's someone that doesn't like the orange accent.Thought about something like that...would have to be somewhat understated cause I don't want to overdo it by going all the way on the rims. found this pic of a bronco with bead locking kit on it...not bad.

I love the color pop. I can't decide if I am at "holy shit I need this in my truck" or "maybe that's too much in my truck"Hey all, sharing bc I’m pretty jazzed. I took this post and this post and combined them to do my own orange bedliner!
This took a couple days of prep, because I was meticulous about sanding and taping.
I bought the 4 qt Raptor tintable liner kit and Safety Orange tint, sanded the whole bed, and got after it. It ended up a great color irl (not quite as neon as the 2nd picture suggests).
I’m so proud I just had to share!
I can see some UT guys jumping at this idea.

That literally makes me wonder if I should drop the spray in liner. I think it looks sick. That color perfectly compliments the rest of the orange on the truck.

My girlfriend works in the fashion industry and is very in tune with color and style (and so is very picky about this kind of thing), and even SHE thinks it looks awesome.
It was not terribly difficult, but prepare to be obsessed with getting it just right. I think a black bedliner is much much more forgiving in the application of it.
For example, I plugged up the threaded holes in the sides of the bed, and it was very hard to get complete coverage around them, so they have a kind of plug-shaped "shadow" where not as much bedliner hit. To solve this, I will buy some "Safety Orange" spray paint and go over things like that where I didn't get quite all the way covered. I don't think I would have had issues like that if it was black bedliner, bc even a light coat does a better job of covering stuff up.
All in all, though, I recommend trying it. We just sat there for about 20 minutes being super excited about it. I worried it would be too much, but it was just right.

Looks great. Very well done.
This is giving me confidence to do my own, as well. May I ask- how big of a compressor did you use, and was it enough?

Orange is not my color; however, you did a top-notch job and your Maverick looks sharp! Good work.Hey all, sharing bc I’m pretty jazzed. I took this post and this post and combined them to do my own orange bedliner!

EDIT: By the way, if you are in the Denver Metro area, and want help with doing this, I'd be glad to get together and give a few pointers. For anyone else that is thinking of doing this, please feel free to DM me if you want any advice.

I borrowed my dad's giant Husky compressor, so it was plenty of air. To apply the coat, you just need to be able to sustain 60PSI. In some of the videos I watched, they used a small pancake compressor and that worked fine. But whatever compressor you use, I'd say just crank that thing up as high as it will go, and use a regulator on the gun (both included with the kit) to keep the pressure at around 60. You just may have to go slower on a smaller one.
I'm a Clemson Tiger, and I'm thinking about doing my whole truck in that.
