anyone used any of that spray-on bed liner?

[Bryophyte]

We had our truck professionally done, but I have used the spray cans of it for the inside of my wheelbarrow. Works great for that application.

Ha, I was going to use it to spray the chute on my lawnmower's snowblower's chute so rocks didn't scrape it up too bad.

What brand did you use for your wheelbarrow?

Whatever brand they had in the spray-paint section at Fred Meyer. Nothing special, I think. We used the leftovers to paint out wear spots on the deck of our tractor (taped off sections to spray, it looked like it was done by the manufacturer.)

Pics...if you have the time.

Thanks.

If you have an air compressor, or can gain access to one, then buy what the professionals use, around $80-100 for a kit IIRC. The bed will need to be sanded (180-320 grit) for proper adhesion. The kit includes a spray gun that fits down over the bottle of liquid liner.

Does the surface have to be 'etched' in order for the spray-on bed liner to adhere?

yes, at least my herculiner instructions said so anyway.

You herculined your computer?!

Would have pics but my brother has it right now. Not the easiest to haul around as it's an Inwin 500 full tower steel case. Does look pretty sweet, though when it gets dusty it can be a PITA to clean off.

Just clean it until the rag wipes clean.


edit: yzzim - It says to etch in the herc instructions? I thought that was only for aluminum, and just recommended,not necessary. Or did you mean scuffing it with the scotch-brite?

it was 460 for my chevy fullsize to get line-x'd and definitely worth it...you can toss anything in it and not worry
its also a bit more 'rubberized' than rhino...it does grip stuff unless u are flying around corners or something

I was curious about this also. $80 compared to almost $500 is a big difference. I never carry anything really in the back of my truck so it would be mostly for environmental protection/ looks.

I believe the herculiner package came with everything you need. Some sort of sandpaper/sanding block to rough the surface. Take a rag and wipe the dust/debris off and let dry. Then apply the herculiner. Pretty simple really.

I'm looking for a spray-in liner that DOES NOT "grip" very well--something that dries to a hard plastic not so much rubberized. I plan on spraying it into a new snowblower (the kind that attaches to the front of a riding mower). I just want to prevent the paint from getting too chipped and eventually rusting the metal.

Does it seal over rust?

Edit-Just kidding, Line-X is top notch. That's what I would go with. I had a Line-X liner in my Tundra and it was pretty much indestructible. Rhino liners end up looking like crap after about 6-8 months (all dull and faded). Those do-it-yourself kits look pretty bad too, at least the ones I've seen.

Have you seen Herculiner/Durabak? That seems to be the "standard" of DIY bedliner. I haven't seen either in person, but I have the internet 😀

Also, anyone happen to know of a softer rubberized liner instead of one that hardens like plastic? The sort that has enough grip you could, for example, drop a wrench on it and it wouldn't go sliding around when you went around corners? Would be less durable, but more sound absorbent, and (duh) things wouldn't bang around corner.

Which spray-on brand hardens to like plastic?

Duplicolor

 

[edprush]

I went all around today looking at the various self-applicable(?) spray/paint-on bedliners and came across Dupli-color and Herculiner at my local automobile parts store, Walmart had something called Plasti-kote.

I'll probably go with Duplicolor spray-on. I think I can cover and tape-off everything that I don't want to get the Duplicolor on s I should be safe.

You do realize it's taken you a month and a half to plan spraying the chute of a snowblower and you still haven't decided yet, right? 🙂
Snow will be all melted by the time the final coat is dry 😀

Just giving you a hard time, I've been planning an audio install for at least as long 😉

 

[edprush]

Actually it's already snowed quite a bit😱

I don't think I will be able to spray it this winter. It is supposed to be applied above 60 degrees farenheit.
