Truck bed liner spray

[clearwatermike]

Has anyone ever noticed a problem scrubbing the ground with the coil due to the abrasive non-slip surface these coatings provide?

[dogpound]

nope

[JimboG]

No problem at all. I can't stand the flimsy dirt trapping cover for the Etrac coil so coating it has really made things simple.

I've never seen any complaints..

I hope not, just sprayed mine..

Just curious but why not coat the coils bottom with a number of polyurethane coats?

Picked-up a can of Rustoleum Bed Liner spray yesterday at Home Depot. Plan on doing it tomorrow since the weather here is gonna stink. Probably spray the Pro Pointer end also. Why not.

Did you use the Rustoleum, and if so, is there a particular type to get, or is there only one option? Think I may hook up my Propointer today since it's too cold outside to md.
Also I remember somewhere you advising to use tape and take it off before it dries, but how many coats did you apply and how long did you wait between coats?
Thanks!

I bought th Rustoleum and was ready to use it, but at the last minute decided to put my coil cover back on and seal it with this: http://dap.com/docs/tech/00010020001.pdf
It goes on white, dries clear...very happy with the outcome, we'll see how it holds up to the saltwater.

Guys, be careful. Some sprays contain metallic particles that can mess with detectors. The bed liner spray I have seen used with success is Dupli Color Bed Armor.

i used the dupli-color....i did atleast 3 coats, it only takes about 5 or 10 minutes ta dry between coats and after the 3rd coat i let it sit over night to fully dry before use, and yes between coats make sure you remove the tape or it will pull the liner, so just retape after each coat dries.

Dogpound, do you take the tape off on each coat before drying?

yep, i tape it off, spray bedliner, remove tape and let dry, then retape and spray second coat.....etc the last coat i let sit over night to fully harden before use

[Dirtfishin]

Good deal, thanks for the tip...

[KingTotsalot]

Great InFo! Thanks!

Well sprayed the PP goods looks like dogpounds...

When I did mine I sandpapered it with 100-grit sandpaper so it would hold better. Then I taped it off real good with electrical tape and then wrapped the rest completely in newspaper. I sprayed it on (real goopy by the way) and propped it up with a pipe wrench to dry. I did not remove the electrical tape between the three coats I gave it and when I removed all the tape it didn't tear at all. Looks like dogpound's PP.

Coating a coil with this stuff is going to be pretty messy I'll bet.
