A:  Charlotte is correct, Mike. Rust-Oleum Professional Grade Truck Bed Liner Kit will work on new paint, as long as all wax is removed. While applying, be careful not to apply to much coating in one area, especially on vertical surfaces, which can cause running or sagging.

A:  Hello Anonymous, Yes, this is compatible with new paint but it is important to properly prep the surface for this coating. SURFACE PREPARATION Sweep out all debris in the truck bed. Power wash or scrub the bed with household detergent and water to clean all stained and soiled areas. Rinse with fresh water and allow the bed and tailgate to dry thoroughly. Important! Make sure you are working in a well ventilated area, are wearing protective equipment and have read all precautionary procedures described on MSDS and solvent labels. Using the supplied sanding pad, sand/abrade the entire area to be coated. Be sure to remove all wax from the truck bed using Rust-Oleum Wax & Tar Remover (251475), mineral spirits, or Rust-Oleum Paint Prep Wipe (253436). The Truck Bed Liner will not adhere to waxy surfaces. Tape off all areas that will not be coated with masking tape, and cover any open drain plugs and/or latch bolts.
