Arrow Redoing the bed

I bought my truck a few years back and it had one of those oreillys roll in bed liners.. well turns out it doesnt like oklahoma heat and is starting to "go away." some parts are peeling off as if the guy didnt properly prepare the bed and also either evaporating its self or kind of fading away. what would be the easiest way to remove it from the interior part of the bed, bed rails, and tailgate? I also just purchased a roll pan and am looking for a tailgate relocator to put on when the guy does the roll pan. any ideas? thanks guys

I have removed tons of those roll in liners and its time consuming but air chisel or air needler works the best. What ever you do don't try to sand it out you burn through tons of sand paper. All bedliners will fade don't let anybody tell you they won't they will after you get it redone go over it with paint it will help keep it shined up for awhile

awesome, thanks for the advise man. i was wondering if i got a legitamite spray in bed liner if they could just go over the ***** one and just be done with it. however, i do want to keep the bed rails painted so i would have to remove the liner from those.

You can get sprayed over I wouldn't do it it would just come back up, look up reflex liners that's what I spray and you can oem match the bedliner to color of truck

did you do highs and lows? and what K's did you go with? i thought about doing 8k's for the lows and keeping the highs alone. did you have to put in a relay as well?
