Bed liner?

Bed liner?

Keeper · OSHAWA, ONT

I had my truck Line-x'd cost about $700 after tax. Its about 1/8 inch thick and after 3 years has no scratches, bubbles or any issues.

A few years ago we did the interior of some Jeeps with basically the same stuff, cost $99 a gallon, a gallon did 2 Jeeps. We sprayed it in one of the guys garages, remember to wear a mask, holy crap!

I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the stuff, but if you went to a paint jobber, they could probably set you up with the stuff.

prep is importent

on the truck sites I read of liner peeling off because the installer did not scruff down the painted finish good enough first - or worse didn't bother at all

I was looking at the stuff they sell at TSC (Rustoleum?), and the product they sell at NAPA.
Wondering if my paint gun can handle it, the product looks rather thick.
Or maybe I should buy an electric paint gun at Princess Auto, to do the job.

$700., is more then I want to spend, it's an 12 year old truck, and I'm contemplating selling it, maybe next spring.
I don't use the bed very often.

"BEDRUG" is the only way to go IMO

If you are selling it in 6 months leave it don't spend a dime on it

Better yet, take the bed liner out and store it behind the garage so you don't have to hear it rattle. Then when you go to sell it, pop it right back in! No paint or spray liner necessary- $0!!!

Carl; I might sell it, but I might keep it, it's paid for, low miles (135k's), and problem free.

TMJ; "BEDRUG", That is a really nice product, but a bit on the $$$ side, and maybe a bit much for a base model, 12yr. old Dakota daily driver pick up.

Fordy; I've already decided what I'm doing with the plastic bed liner, I sold it for $0.00.

I definitely getting the bed sprayed, or spray it myself. I do use the bed from time to time, but not regularly, so I still want to protect it, but not pay $700. to get it done, when there's a $99. option available.

Buttt..., I don't know how good those DIY kits are, hence, why I started this thread.

They are using Hippo Liner. While spraying, they mention to make sure you use a spray gun with a huge orifice.

Just have to put up with ads.

That's what I had in mind. I'm still wondering about the spray gun, the largest orifice I have two 1.4, then a .8, I don't think they would be large enough.

Anyone know anything about those electric ones, they sell @ RONA's etc...? Would it be strong enough?

I've seen them @ Princess Auto also, but never gave them a second look, they look like a disposable item.

Keeper · OSHAWA, ONT

I have seen some kits for $150-200 that include a gun to spray it, it looks like a damn hose on the end of a gun. Let me see if I can find some links.

Keeper · OSHAWA, ONT

OKay found one, but of course its in the US

www.amazon.com/Linerxtreeme-spray-Bedliner-Kit-1-5/dp/B008IGOVHQ

Not a bad deal for $100 if you can get it up here.

58Chev · ETOBICOKE, ONT

Keeper,
That spray gun looks like the ones used for spraying undercoating or oil for rust proofing.
Should be able to find something similar at PA.

I have a plastic bed liner (Pendaliner), I'm looking at getting rid of. I'm getting tired of hearing rattle and rub, and I don't want to drill anymore screw holes to hold it down.
I was wondering which spray on, roll on liner is better, if I do it myself. I've been shopping around and product prices vary incredibly, I don't mind paying a bit more for the better product, but if the lesser priced one is just as good...
I'd like to get it down before snow falls.

Or maybe get it done at a shop, if prices/quality are competitive, compared to doing it myself.

Try not to drink any fluids after 6 pm and go pee before you turn in .

Slim, I'm disappointed...it took you 11 days to come up with that. You're slipping biggrin .

Hi Gilles,

I have an electric paint gun from Home Hardware and it has a really small tip and only good for really thin stuff like a deck sealer what I used it for.

Most probably the undercoating gun would be good if it's really thick stuff, or if something similar than a thick primer then perhaps a 2.0 size tip would be enough in a normal paint gun.

If it would be me, I'd use a foam roller to get it on...

Gazoo · BADEN, ONT

Hannu, That's the route I decided to take.
I'll just roll it on, less clean up etc..., throw the roller out when I'm done. biggrin

No need to mask for over spray, etc...
