Anyone have any experience fixing up a hail dented folding bed cover? There are quite a few for sale online with obvious hail dents. I'm wondering if painting with a thick coating like a bedliner would look alright. Or should I just not worry about it?

Sure, just powder coat it. Good as new!

Picked one up for $80. We'll see how it goes.

My bakflip has pretty good hail damage. Doesn't bother me one bit. I was just glad the same hail didn't damage the truck at all.

I had a big tree limb fall on my tailgate and backflip. It's still awesome and still manages to keep out most water. Can't recommend them enough.

Not bad for $80. I've always wanted a bed cover, but didn't know if I'd actually like one. This is a good test run vs buying an $800 cover.
Got it cleaned up. Just need to make some adjustments since it came off a '14

Ive seen these all over CL and offerup.

Looks like the insurance company has paid out for repair ofthe truck and replacement of the bed cover and just told the owner to trash the old one.

Owner then puts it up online for sale for whatever he can get.

???

Profit.

Same here but my damage is a little less than "pretty good hail damage".

The price sure was right buying it that way.
