Tub spruce-up inside advice please

I was thinking of using black Raptor bedliner or similar to cover scratches and minor surface imperfections in my newly acquired 300tdi.

Has seats in the back so thinking of easy application without covering everything in paint or a huge amount of masking, but what's the best way?

Aerosol maybe, as brush or roller won't get into nooks and crannies I assume. Would a Schultz Gun be the way to go.

Looking for a slightly textured finish and it may need to be weather proof if I soft-top it.

Any advice gratefully received

Rob

Can I suggest you look at Raptor. I have had it in a works pick up and it is very durable. https://www.u-pol.com/uk/en-uk/products/ra...TtHQ_ZFxMs

Although Raptor, Line-X and similar coatings are hard wearing and give acoustic advantages....
They are difficult to keep clean and difficult TO clean. Especially in a ragtop. My rear tub should be black, but it’s just a red/yellowy dust colour as it’s ingrained.

Where i’m not at all fussed about things that shine, I’m sure most people are.

I used a coating that’s extremely hard wearing, (they use it in gritting vehicle hoppers) so Raptor may be different.
If you change your mind once applied, it can be a ‘mare to remove. QRZ 2e0vpf

Thanks for that, I think!

Not sure who you could be refereeing to when you mention all things shiny

Looks like plan b then, except there is no plan b

The inspiration came from GrahamTD5 tho he then carpeted his

Appreciate the advice
