Thank you for the idea of painting a cap with Raptor, your video was the first I had heard of doing this. I was able to pick up a cap relatively cheaply, just re-finished it this weekend! It came out great, can't wait to re-install it on my truck.

I’m working on my truck camper, I’m also a Mainer. I’ve got my cap all insulated with reflectix as it is an aluminum cap and not a nice fiberglass one but it came with the 23 year old truck I bought. I’m getting my solar in tomorrow and I’ve got my “kitchen” and Bed all set, the floor is carpeted

Great job! I never thought about the bed liner. I got a used cap really cheap. I was thinking off wrapping mine with carbon fiber vinyl wrap. But I think I could spray like yours better than wrap it. I think it would look cool to put a wind deflector on the front rack too

I have an ARE Overland series bed cap on my Tacoma (it has a largely decorative section of spray on bedliner on the leading edge and under the side windows)... It's a shame yours did not come with the windoors... They are great for mounting bed storage cabinets behind. I am presently working on designing a windoor cabinet to hold a camp kitchen on the passenger side.
