Wood bed.

Has anybody painted there wood in the bed black as it would be from the factory? If so what did you or would you use to paint it? What kind of paint would hold up the best? I don't want to spend a lot of time staining and varnishing as I will be using my truck for a truck when it is done.
Thanks guys.

Re: Wood bed.

Then why not just stain it and oil it, as the paint wont last long and will chip.

Re: Wood bed.

I kind of want it to look original and want it to look used. The body color is going to be close to the original green but I had the paint shop add in flattener to try and give it an old look.
