SAVING THE CYBERTRUCK WITH POLYUREA BEDLINER
ArmorThane’s All-Purpose Technology for Functional and Aesthetic Vehicle Upgrades
THE CYBERTRUCK’S DURABILITY DILEMMA
Tesla’s Cybertruck was in our imaginations for years before now being on our roads. Taking a little longer than expected, yes, but today, it’s now quite common to see Cybertrucks just about everywhere across the United States, and soon, across the world. However, there’s something interesting about the Cybertruck that you may have noticed, especially if you live or work in communities where Tesla’s are a dime a dozen; Cybertrucks seem to be modified more than almost any other vehicle. But why? Isn’t the idea behind the Cybertruck to offer an exciting new type of vehicle with the perfect form and function as is, much like Tesla’s other vehicles? Well yes, and to a large extent they’ve succeeded, but that doesn’t mean Tesla’s first attempt at electric trucks was not without its drawbacks. Namely, the Cybertruck has fallen short for many purchasers both in terms of its style, and more importantly, its durability. Made of tough stainless steel, the Cybertruck was designed with strength and durability in mind, but it’s far from invincible, let alone immune from dents, scratches, or rust. Moreover, while the shiny silver exterior fits the bill of what we might have come to expect from Tesla, it’s simply too boring for many people, who otherwise love its unique appearance. So if you or someone you know falls within one of these camps, whether as a current owner or potential buyer, what can be done to make up for the Cybertruck’s shortcomings?
THE SOLUTION? ARMORTHANE’S BEDLINER PAINT JOBS
One of the easiest, most cost-effective, and high-performance technologies capable of solving the Cybertruck’s durability dilemma are protective coatings, and more specifically, ArmorThane’s polyurea bedliner coatings. They’re the ultimate 2-in-1 solution for remedying the Cybertruck’s functional and aesthetic imperfections, first developed to protect workhouse vehicle’s withstand the harsh wear and tear of hauling heavy loads. Applied to entire vehicles as what’s now commonly known as bedliner paint jobs, they’re as good as it gets, simple as that! Here are a few of the reasons why:
DENT AND SCRATCH
PREVENTION
With no clear coat or other type of surface coating to protect the Cybertruck, any dents or scratches are to the stainless steel exterior directly, and not on some outer buffer layer. Applying strong and flexible polyurea bedliner paints allow Cybertrucks, or any other vehicles for that matter, withstand demanding daily operations, whether you’re off-roading to test its adventure potential, or simply hitting your local Starbucks day after day.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
Made of stainless steel, the Cybertruck is often understood to be inherently corrosion resistant. While not totally off base, the truth is that as a metallic surface, rust and corrosion still remain an ever present threat. Applying polyurea coatings to your Cybertruck is a surefire way to maximize its longevity, as it forms a watertight barrier to insulate the stainless steel surface from moisture, oxygen, and other chemicals that serve as common causes of corrosion.
UV PROTECTION
The threat of UV degradation has received less attention as compared to denting, scratching, and corrosion, likely because the Cybertruck is still so new, and it takes time to see the effects of extended UV exposure. However, there’s no doubt the sun’s rays will have an impact on the Cybertruck’s visual appeal, likely reducing its sheen over time. So rather than letting an already lackluster design lose what visual appeal it still possesses, polyurea bedliner paints can be used to protect against UV damage, while also being responsible for creating your own unique look in the first place.
Now keep in mind, these are merely what we consider to be the top three benefits of applying bedliner paint jobs to your Cybertruck, but polyurea comes with a long list of additional benefits that may be invaluable to some users. From an improved sustainability profile, a decades-long lifetime, and unmatched customizability, ArmorThane’s formulations can truly make your new Cybertruck not just a vehicle of the future, but for the future!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Cybertruck’s exterior is composed of stainless steel, which was chosen, in part, for its durability and corrosion resistance. As a result, it’s not available with a protective coating included when purchased from Tesla directly. However, third party coatings experts like ArmorThane can apply powerful protective coatings made of materials like polyurea, which can provide additional protection and a unique way to apply custom colors and finishes.
By virtue of its stainless steel outer surfaces, the Cybertruck is built with moderate anti-rust properties and corrosion resistance. This doesn’t mean, however, that the Cybertruck is immune from such concerns. Especially if you live in wet and humid environments, it’s highly recommended to seek additional protection using waterproof and corrosion resistant surface coatings like polyurea.
While many consumers prefer the Cybertruck’s stock stainless steel exterior, it’s become popular for many owners to customize their vehicle with eye-catching colors and personalized designs. The best way to do this is by using a protective coating like polyurea, which can create essentially any type of color or finish, while also serving to protect an already powerful new automotive innovation.
