Rattle can woe or Bed-liner to the rescue?

[pontiac428]

Go over to TCP Global and order some Upol custom color bed liner. Plan on 2 coats for even coverage, maybe 2-3 bottles. It's not textured, the texture comes from the gun setup. You can spray it like drywall texture or spray it like paint. Plenty of info out there on technique from redneck to technical.

Somewhere recently I read one of the liner companies were selling it in spray cans. Perfect for small areas and touch up.

If we don't have one already and painting thread would be great.

I'm giving serious thought to trying bed liner on the 2040 chip tray and backsplash. It's going to need sanding and paint for sure. If I can find a bed liner without the texturing it's on! Heck maybe I can just haul them over to the Rino bed liner shop and have them do it...BRILLIANT!

I wonder how the liner would hold up to hot chips. I would imagine that they would want to melt into the rubberized coating. Maybe spray a test piece and see what happens first before committing.

i bought a two part epoxy bed liner kit to do the underside of a mower deck. Think it had sat in the Napa store too long, was too thick to spray with a Schultz gun. Had to brush it on. Been using the mower for 5 years now and no sign of wear. Clippings don't stick either.

the powder coating peeled off the motor housing of my minn kota trolling motor after less than 2 years. I painted over it twice, but it kept rusting (salt water). took it to Line-X shop and had them spray their textured bed coating on it. cured that problem. of course, a year after that the POS fried a circuit board.

Meh, I looked into Rhino lining it's polyurethane, think skateboard wheels. You can beat the hell out of that stuff. The Rhino site says it's a two part polyurethane coating that's waterproof and resistant to slipping, scratching, impacts and chemicals and heat up to 190 degrees.

Besides what's know for sure is paint and primer do not hold up. The paint and primer is blasted clean off the chip backsplash to bare metal on this mill I just purchased and that's with only a max spindle speed of 4,000 rpm.

That's crazy good, I may do my Kubota mower deck.

I proposed using bed liner for my lathe a few years ago and got a lot of push back for making such a scandalous suggestion. However, I still think it might be a good idea...

i have used this stuff for a jeep cab and a truck bed, the jeep cab was 30 years ago, during the job some spilled on the driveway, i have since moved away and rented the house out, the stuff is still looking about the same as it did 30 years ago and about the only things i have not tried is to chip the concrete up or grind it off.
