How to Make Bed Liners Look New Again! The Inexpensive Way to Make Your Truck Shine.
What happens here
After staining the main truck bed, assess the appearance of the top rails and other surrounding plastic components. If they appear dingy or inconsistent with the newly stained bed, proceed to restore them. First, use a non-woven sanding pad (like a Scotch-Brite pad) with Simple Green cleaner and Miracle Wipes to clean and scuff the surface of these plastic parts. This helps remove grime and prepares the surface for better adhesion. Once clean and dry, apply the Benjamin Moore Arborcoat stain to the top rails using a paint brush, ensuring a smooth and even coat. The presenter notes that while Arborcoat is designed for decks and siding (wood and metal), its self-priming nature makes it effective on certain plastics, especially if they are not shiny or slick.
Goal: Clean and stain the truck's top rails for a consistent look.
