What is KBS Bed Renu?
KBS Bed Renu is a spray can bed liner coating that restores worn truck bedliner and recoats bumpers, fender flares, and running boards with a textured, UV-stable black finish. One 15 oz. aerosol can covers up to 30 sq. ft. and recoats in 1 to 2 hours.

KBS Bed Renu is a tough, flexible, thick black protective coating made to recoat the areas where a bedliner has worn away or needs to be "Renu'd." KBS Bed Renu sprays straight from a standard aerosol can, so no spray gun, compressor, or mixing is needed to touch up a worn bedliner or refinish a bumper.
The textured finish protects against corrosion and abrasion, absorbs impacts, deadens sound and vibration, and adds traction, which is why KBS Bed Renu holds up on fender flares and running boards as well as inside a truck bed. The cured film is waterproof, easy to clean, resists staining from harsh chemicals, and stays flexible enough that it will not crack, bubble, or peel.

KBS Bed Renu works on worn truck bedliner, bumpers, fender flares, running boards, and other high-abuse exterior parts on cars, trucks, and off-road vehicles. KBS Bed Renu bonds to clean steel, aluminum, wood, and fiberglass, and to bare plastic bumpers primed with Fusion FPP. Every surface should be cleaned and dry before spraying.
- Truck bedliners: Recoats areas where an existing bedliner has worn thin or worn through, without relining the whole bed.
- Bumpers: Restores faded or scraped metal and plastic bumpers with a textured, impact-resistant black finish. Prime bare plastic with Fusion FPP first.
- Fender flares: Brings sun-faded flares back to a uniform black with a UV-stable finish that is easy to clean.
- Running boards: Adds traction and hides scuffs from boots and gear.
- Wood, aluminum, and fiberglass: KBS Bed Renu bonds to all three once the surface has been cleaned.
- Off-road vehicles: Holds up to the sun exposure, trail debris, and impacts that off-road bumpers and flares take.
- Commercial and fleet vehicles: Snow plows, municipal trucks, and fleet vehicles that take daily abuse.
- Agricultural and construction equipment: Tractors and construction machinery exposed to constant vibration and impact.
- Trains: Heavy-duty rolling stock components that need abrasion and impact resistance.
- Motorcycles: Exposed parts that need the same textured, UV-stable protection.
Can KBS Bed Renu Touch Up a Worn Spot Without Relining the Whole Bed?
Yes. KBS Bed Renu was made for exactly that job: recoating the sections of a bedliner that have worn away while leaving the sound liner in place. Clean the worn area with KBS Klean, let it dry, and spray one or two thin covering coats.
KBS Bed Renu combines bedliner-grade toughness with the convenience of an aerosol can, so it sprays like paint but cures to a textured, flexible, UV-stable film. KBS Bed Renu resists chips, abrasion, and harsh-chemical staining, and one 15 oz. can recoats within 1 to 2 hours with no gun or mixing.
- Easy aerosol application: No gun, compressor, or mixing. Shake, spray, and recoat within 1 to 2 hours.
- Excellent UV stability: Holds its black color in direct sun without chalking, fading, or discoloring.
- Crazy tough: The cured film withstands impacts and resists scuffs from boots, cargo, and trail debris.
- Corrosion and abrasion protection: Seals the surface underneath against moisture and wear.
- Waterproof: Keeps water off the substrate it covers.
- Sound and vibration deadening: The textured film absorbs road noise, vibration, and impacts.
- Chemical stain resistant: Resists staining from harsh chemicals and cleans up easily.
- Fast cure, strong adhesion: Dry to recoat in 1 to 2 hours, with full cure usually within 48 hours.
- Will not crack, bubble, or peel: Stays flexible rather than going brittle, so it moves with the part underneath.
Does KBS Bed Renu Need a Spray Gun?
No. KBS Bed Renu comes ready to spray in a 15 oz. aerosol can, so there is nothing to mix, thin, or clean out of a gun afterward. For coating a full truck bed with a spray gun, KBS Bed Liner is the gallon product made for that job.
One 15 oz. aerosol can of KBS Bed Renu covers up to 30 sq. ft., and a 3-pack covers up to 90 sq. ft. Actual coverage depends on film thickness, so heavier coats cover less area. KBS Bed Renu recoats in 1 to 2 hours and reaches full cure in about 48 hours.
| Size | Typical Coverage |
|---|
| 15 oz. Aerosol Can | Up to 30 sq. ft. |
| 3-Pack (3 x 15 oz.) | Up to 90 sq. ft. |
Recoat window: Recoat once the previous coat is dry to the touch, typically 1 to 2 hours depending on humidity. For best results, apply each coat within 24 hours of the prior coat curing. Full cure is usually reached within 48 hours.
Pro Tip: Apply thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Runs and sags mean the coat is going on too heavy or the can is too close to the surface, and a heavy coat also uses up the can's coverage faster.
How Should KBS Bed Renu Be Sprayed?
Spray KBS Bed Renu at 50 to 90°F (10 to 32°C) in 70% humidity or lower. Shake the can for at least one minute after the mixing ball rattles, and shake again for about 10 seconds every 1 to 2 minutes while spraying. Hold the can 8 to 10 inches from the surface, press the valve all the way down, move back and forth releasing the sprayhead after each stroke, and overlap each stroke. If the sprayhead clogs, turn it a quarter turn or remove and clean it; never push a pin into the can opening.
Safety: Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when spraying KBS Bed Renu, work in a well-ventilated area, and use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator. Follow all warning and caution notices on the can.
KBS Bed Renu differs from a professional spray-in bedliner in that KBS Bed Renu is a do-it-yourself aerosol for touch-ups and smaller parts: KBS Bed Renu sprays from a 15 oz. can covering up to 30 sq. ft. with no equipment, while a professional spray-in liner is applied by an installer with dedicated spray equipment to line a full bed.
| | KBS Bed Renu | Professional Spray-In Bedliner |
|---|
| Who applies it | You, straight from a 15 oz. aerosol can | An installer with dedicated spray equipment |
| Best suited to | Worn bedliner sections, bumpers, fender flares, running boards | Lining an entire truck bed in one visit |
| Equipment needed | The can, gloves, eye protection, and a respirator | Supplied by the installer |
| Coverage | Up to 30 sq. ft. per can, 90 sq. ft. per 3-pack | A full bed per job |
| Recoat and cure | Recoat in 1 to 2 hours, full cure in about 48 hours | Varies by product and installer |
| Cost | Priced per can, with a 3-pack option | Quoted by the installer, varies by bed size and shop |
A professional spray-in liner is the better choice when an entire bed needs a new liner in one visit, because a single 15 oz. aerosol covers up to 30 sq. ft. and a full bed would take many cans. For a do-it-yourself full bed, KBS Bed Liner covers up to 250 sq. ft. per gallon at 2 coats.
When a bumper or other metal part is down to bare metal, prep it with the KBS 3-Step Rust Prevention System before applying KBS Bed Renu. Clean with KBS Klean, etch with RustBlast, then prime and seal with RustSeal. That base gives KBS Bed Renu the longest-lasting finish on bare or rusted metal.
- Step 1: KBS Klean
- Cleans and degreases the metal so the next steps bond properly.
- Step 2: RustBlast
- Etches the metal to prepare it for coating.
- Step 3: RustSeal
- Primes and seals the metal before KBS Bed Renu goes on top.

A spray can bed liner is a good choice for touch-ups and smaller parts such as bumpers, fender flares, and running boards. KBS Bed Renu cures to a tough, flexible, textured black finish that is UV stable, waterproof, and resistant to harsh-chemical staining, and it will not crack, bubble, or peel. For lining an entire truck bed, a gallon product such as KBS Bed Liner is more practical, since one 15 oz. can of KBS Bed Renu covers up to 30 sq. ft.
A professional spray-in bedliner is quoted by the installer and varies with bed size and shop. A do-it-yourself touch-up is priced by the can: one 15 oz. can of KBS Bed Renu covers up to 30 sq. ft., and the 3-pack covers up to 90 sq. ft. To line a full bed yourself, one gallon of KBS Bed Liner covers up to 250 sq. ft. at 2 coats.
Yes. KBS Bed Renu sprays straight from a 15 oz. aerosol can with no spray gun, compressor, or mixing. Clean the surface with KBS Klean, let it dry, shake the can for at least one minute, and apply thin overlapping coats from 8 to 10 inches away. Wear gloves and eye protection, work in a well-ventilated area, and use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator.
How long a sprayed bedliner lasts depends mostly on surface prep and how the coats are applied. KBS Bed Renu is UV stable, so it will not chalk, fade, or discolor in the sun, and it resists abrasion, impacts, and harsh-chemical staining without cracking, bubbling, or peeling. On bare metal, prep with the KBS 3-Step Rust Prevention System first for the longest-lasting finish.
KBS Bed Renu is made for worn truck bedliner, bumpers, fender flares, running boards, and other high-abuse exterior parts on cars, trucks, and off-road vehicles, including Jeep bumpers. KBS Bed Renu bonds to steel, aluminum, wood, and fiberglass once the surface has been cleaned. Prime bare plastic with Fusion FPP, and prep bare metal with the KBS 3-Step Rust Prevention System first.
KBS Bed Renu is dry to the touch and ready to recoat in 1 to 2 hours, depending on humidity. For best results, apply each coat within 24 hours of the previous coat curing. Full cure is usually reached within 48 hours.
Spray KBS Bed Renu at room temperature between 50°F and 90°F (10°C to 32°C), in moderate to dry conditions of 70% humidity or lower.
Apply one or two thin covering coats instead of one heavy coat. Runs and sags mean the coat is too heavy or the can is too close, so hold the can 8 to 10 inches away, move back and forth, release the sprayhead after each stroke, and overlap each pass. Shake the can for about 10 seconds every 1 to 2 minutes while spraying.
Yes. On bare, untreated plastic bumpers and fender flares, prime first with Fusion FPP Flexible Plastics Primer, then apply KBS Bed Renu over it. Fusion FPP is dry to the touch in 10 minutes and ready to topcoat in 30 minutes, so KBS Bed Renu can go on the same day.
Prep bare metal with the KBS 3-Step Rust Prevention System first: clean with KBS Klean, etch with RustBlast, then prime and seal with RustSeal before applying KBS Bed Renu. This gives the longest-lasting finish on bare or rusted metal.
