From vinyl to bedliner... Top question

I'm looking at a 73 duster, when they repainted the car they stripped the vinyl top and replaced it with spray on truck bedliner. You can't tell the difference unless you touch it or get up real close.

Is this a common thing to do? I've never seen that done before.

Also any potential body issues this could cause?

Not sure what the weight difference is....

Thanks!

Not my preference but,
There is a guy who owns a body shop here locally who does the rhino liner at his shop. 5 or 6 years ago he sprayed his entire Durango (red) with it for advertising. It looks wild!! I'll try to grab a pic of it today and show ya. But anyway, it seams to be holding up OK. It still looks WILD!!!:happy10:
