A very niche request...LGBTQ friendly spray on truck-bedliner shop? Denver, Nashville, DC or southern Florida.

Need Advice :snoo_thoughtful:

So, I promised my oldest I'd do this with my last truck if I bought one that didn't yet have the spray-on bedliner, but most all the ones with the off road package also already had it. Anyway, got the truck totalled by an impaired driver in April, and it's taken this long to find a suitable replacement. So, to "support uncle David"...not actually her uncle but rather my wife's gay boyfriend...and also just because there's a 10:2::X:Y chromosome ratio in the house, I'll be getting a RAINBOW SPRAY ON BED LINER one way or another.

DIY, options abound, but I'm not confident in my steady-hand/artistic skills. So, I'd like to find a shop that does Weather Tech, LineX or other national brand.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I really can't have anything happen to the truck and I'm not necessarily confident in the political attitudes of known places.

Denver area would be easiest, but I have a back east trip trip in July with Nashville and DC area stops. I'll also be roadtripping to southern Florida around the holidays. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I have nothing but I’d try posting g in local reddit groups for those towns. They’re pretty big cities so they should have active subreddits. I know my town (Cincinnati) has one.

Good luck!! I love the plan to get a rainbow one! If, in tfe end, you don’t manage to find a safe shop, you could always lie to more conservative shop. (I don’t usually condone lying but with homophobes and possible hate crimes, I’m all for it.) A lot of ultra conservative Christian’s have this obsession with reclaiming the rainbow for Jesus/god. So you could use that as your cover story.

The only real issue is I don't think I could do it myself. My oldest has an artist friend who's volunteered, but then I'd have to buy and waste most of each of the colors because they basically sell it in portions fit for an entire truck bed, not 1/6th of one.

Cincinnati has a truck bed spray on liner shop that you know to be LGBTQ friendly?

Just don't let anyone ever touch the double rainbow. That will always be the exclusive property of really, really high people.

I have no clue if we have a shop that’d do a rainbow liner. I meant Cinci has a very active subreddit, so it’s worth looking to see if your town (or any of the ones you’ll be traveling to) also have active subreddits. If those towns do have a subreddit, it’d be worth posting your question on those subreddits to see if anyone knows of a local shop.
