I believe Mack's or Cabela's sells OD green or "duck boat" brown in the gallons to give you your base coat. Afterward, I would use Krylon Ultra Flat Camo spray paint to do the "camoing" of the boat. Given my boat already had a green base coat, but this is what it looked like after the Krylon camo job:

Do not use the "bed liner" material any where except where you might have an issue with slips and falls. That material will add weight faster than you think to a boat. Like posted by H.R. if you have flat bottom boat green on it already just get the Krylon spray and get busy. Good luck.

Deckhand is right. You have a weight limit with a 12' FB. I stay away from the truck bed linear material
