      I filmed this for another group I'm in, and thought you all might enjoy a brief tour of my shop.

        @pixel I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of covering the entire car in bed liner. Wtf does that?

          'Mericans. we put that sh*t on everything. Toolboxes. Mailboxes. Lunch boxes. Vehicles. Makes 'em tougher. And heavier. And uglier.

          Hondas, Accuras, BMWs and a 300ZX (gone but not forgotten Tc, Ford Ranger)

            There's a company called Line-X who do vehicles in a hard wearing bedliner paint.

              @ranwhenparked I'm guessing it was an attempt to seal the surface rust and bad paint and get the hot rod primer look. If they had done a better job, it wouldn't have looked too bad. But "least effort" seems to have been the attitude of at least the 2 prior owners.
              On the plus side, their half-assed work means it is coming off relatively easily.

                @svend Yeah, but they're not a middle-to-upper-middle class family car from the 1950s

                  I've seen a Sprinter and Transit campervans with the bedliner finish. Sprinter probably because it was rusting. The Transit should've been too new to be rusting already.

                    I love seeing other people's shops. Great for ideas. Thanks.

                      @pixel You have done a fantastic job organizing that garage! I keep telling myself I'll do something similar one of these days 🙂
