Yeah jay nobody knows yet but UPOL is changing their brand from "truck bed liner" to "protective coating" is has a lot of uses and so many textures available but it is not marketed that way so nobody knows about it. Not to mention you can tint it any color nice stuff if anyone needs a texture let me know I can test and find what you need.

Good job.

I didn't think about turning down the pressure a bit.

Here is the whole setup with the Upol gun, and bedliner spray.

Keep in mind I do not use the UPOL gun to get these smaller textures.

Thanks, I'm looking for the large textures.

Also, the "gun" is really nothing more than a cheap sand blasting gun.

In the Ebay link I posted I noticed the gun looked a little like a sand blaster gun, so I looked at a bed liner kit today at the local parts store, and sure enough that is what it is. So if you have one of those guns laying around you should be able to use it to apply this type of paint.
