Not sure if anyone else has done this but im thinking about using that black asphalt type fence paint on all the boards. That stuff is usually super durable and seals it up nice compared to a regular exterior paint. Would probably mimic the way the factory did it somewhat. Seems like it would look good and work well, especially if it has some texture. Here are some shots of a customer's 52 short bed where he used a different approach. He removed the two "L" shaped side rails, cut a floor out of a 5x10 plywood sheet (it's available), screwed the rails to it with button head screws, and finally panel bonded the side rails back on. I wondered about expansion/contraction but it was done in 2015 and still looks good. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/xcwM0sdS/Mikes-bed-003.jpg[/img]Looks really good, that grain really pops!
