Spray-In Bed Liner Color Match

Ultimate 2022 · March 25, 2020

This is a bit of a stretch, but we are all quarantined, so what the heck... Has anyone had a spray in bed liner color matched to Northsky Blue? If so, do you have a picture?

Any other color matched bed liner pictures would help, too! Just trying to decide between black or Northsky.

I went with black on my last truck and this one. My last truck was a lazer blue Colorado and the line x color match was a purple color. From all the pics I seen online the color match isn’t exact and is either really close or far off like it was on my Colorado.

Ya, this is kind of what I figured. At least it will save some money!

I looked into having a silver one in my 2011. At that time the owner of our local Line-X talked me out of it. 1: it costs more and 2: he said the colors never really look right. After having it sprayed in black I was really happy. Glad he talked me out of it. My Pacific Blue Sierra has a black one as well.

Good to know! I feel like the color would never be matching with Northsky Blue, either. Ill be going with black.

One thing that has been a little shocking to me is, these different shops have such different prices. Bullet Liners start at $365 for one shop and go to $500 at another.. Line-X is more expensive than both (if you want it to not fade over time). I will be going to the Bullet Liner shop for $365.

I only have experience with Line-X. It was definitely worth the extra to get their Premium one. It hardly faded in the 8 years I had it. Friends that had the original one looked terrible with the amount they faded. Of course how much this matters to you will depend on how long you plan to keep the truck..

My 2011 Silverado was color matched. It was a black truck. Sorry... had to...

That is what I had put in the wife's HD. Dealer had it installed, I believe it was around $500. Looks very much like the factory liner.

I had to go with Line X because the Rhino liner shop in my area no longer exists and the only places that install Bullet are a Ford dealership and a Ram dealership. I opted not to get the UV protection because I have a canopy so I don't think it's likely to fade even if I keep the truck for 15 years. Line X standard was $535 vs $600 CAD for the GM liner.

One thing to consider is color-coordinating instead of color-matching so perfect matching isn't necessary.

A grey/silver/white liner might look good on a blue truck. Or red for the Superman look.

Black works well for me on my Northsky Blue, but I also have a black tonneau cover and never see it anyway.

Black coordinates with the dark tinted windows and bed rail caps... the truck has plenty of black around to tie it in already.

My 2003 Sierra Denali has color-matched Polo Green (dark) bed rail caps. The grey bed rug in that one coordinates well.

I got mine done by rhino liners here in Texas it was $475 total 2019 double cab standard bed line x was $7XX something before tax. And we have one bullet installer in the area and I didn’t check with them considering when I had my Colorado they were more expensive then line X and Rhino
