Truck Bed Liner
Created on 2006-04-06 04:36:41
I did this awhile ago (right before paint), but I get so many questions about it, I thought I would create a journal entry.
I had heard about Hot Rod guys using bed liner and seen a few guys on the board use it too. So after some reading and investigation I decided to do the same. I had three criteria:
1. I wanted it tinted body color
2. I wanted to be able to apply it in my garage
3. I wanted to buy it locally to save shipping
Hippo Liner met all three criteria.
Some of the other choices are Rhino Liner (only comes in 4 colors) or LineX (must be done at a LineX shop)
I mostly brushed it on; However, it can be sprayed with a shutz gun. I applied it over an epoxy primer at the recommendation of the auto paint suppy house where I bought it. I had considered putting it on over POR-15, but thought that would be overkill and I was concerned about adhesion. It took two kits to complete the job @ $70 per kit. I also had enough left over to do the top sides of my floor pans as well as the t-tunnel. It has an orange peel like texture.
