Want one in your truck? — First person to call and schedule after reading this ad receives $50 OFF their spray-on truck bed liner! Just mention that you saw us on “show & tell.”

Every truck owner knows that protecting your inner bed surface is a top priority. Once the floor or bedsides are scratched, the unprotected bare steel is subject to rust. For a quick fix, some folks drop in a plastic bed liner (which we also sell) that traps moisture between the liner and bed floor. To prevent your bed from rusting, you must invest in a protective coating.

Vortex is a spray-on protection barrier that is five times stronger than others on the market and is available in 200 factory or custom-mixed colors. The Vortex solvent-free materials are a 100 percent solid blend of Polyurethane and Polyurea that are bonded by a chemical reaction to the bed’s steel surface. The protection barrier can range from 1/8-inch to 18 inches thick, and is available in multiple colors! The Vortex coating bond will not delaminate, chip or peel.

Just as body preparation is very important to obtain a high-quality paint job, the same holds true to preparing the bed surface prior to applying the Vortex protective coating. Starting things off, the bed and tailgate surfaces are prepped by scuffing the surface using medium grit sandpaper. After sanding, we clean the bed with soap and water, dry the surface completely, and wipe with cleaner.

Finally, the Vortex spray material makes contact with the bed’s surface, and a chemical reaction causes it to etch into the steel surface where it bonds and dries in seconds. Once the Vortex protective coating is applied and given time to cure, it becomes indestructible.
