Default Looks awesome
I am probably going to do this when the carpet gets beyond cleaning.

I've had this item on my mod list for a while. I really liked the idea of paint matching the liner, but as worried how it might turn out. Your's looks awesome. That settles it. I'm going paint matched for sure now. I like the idea of doing the gate too.

Lining the top rail is an idea I had after removing the hard top the first time. That area takes a lot of punishment installing and removing the top. Have you developed any leaking/sealing issues since lining your rail?

No there is no change in temp. It may be just a little louder than before, but really not much of a difference that I could tell from when I first took the carpet out

No issues with any leaking or sealing with the top rails lined also, at least not that I have seen.

Man I would love to do something like this but that is one of the downsides of living in a apartment. What kind of paint sprayer and air compressor did you use

What is the thickness of the coating on the top rails? Sorry for asking so many questions it's just that once I make the jump to doing the rails, it's no turning back.

Thanks and cheers!

I've got at least a 1/4" of rhino lining on the tops of my rails and no probs with the hard top.

The UPOL Raptor kit comes with its own sprayer, and you only need about 50psi to the gun. I used the compressor at my dads shop which is a pretty big compressor, but any compressor that puts out at least 50psi would do the job fine

No problem at all on the questions. Im actually not for sure how thick the top rails are. I hit them quite a few times and tried to get a really thick coat, as I also did on the floorboards where most of the wear and tear will be. I havent actually measured it but I dont think mine is 1/4" like REXICON mentioned his Rhino line is
