What to mix with bedliner to tint?
I'm trying to keep costs down on the resto of my cart, but am dead set in a dark grey bedliner for the frame. If I buy dark grey, it will cost about $140. If I go black, I can get some for about $50. Is there a type of white paint that will mix well with the bedliner to tint it the shade of grey I am looking for to save me a bit of $? I'm not finding any answers online.

Re: What to mix with bedliner to tint?
they do not mix well. the color is a chemical mix from what i remember.
id consider something other than bedliner for the frame as its thick and textured. maybe some industrial epoxy paint |

Maybe get a different brand of bedliner? There are other brands out there that sell in colors. LineX, Grizzley, Duplicolor, etc.

That's the thing. I can get duplicolor black on eBay for $50, or any other brand in dark grey for around $140. I planned to go with the thick texture because of the salt air here in Miami just eats away at everything. I plan to rust prep it, paint it with POR15, then beeline to make sure it's something I never have to worry about, even if something fairly significant scrapes the frame.

What about painting over the top of the bedliner?

Not a bad idea. That would be three coats, but it just might work with an epoxy or oil base.

Just found the answer- it is enamel based, so I can mix it with white enamel to make it the shade I want. I called Duplicolor. Makes me wonder though- if all it is is enamel paint and a particulate, why can't I make it at home? Hmmmmm...
