DIY paint-in bed liner?
« on: December 02, 2008, 05:18:08 pm »
Anyone have luck with a kit? Or should I pony up for a Line-X?

I use SEM spray in liner all the time. I used to use my Rocker Shutz gun, but I just sprung for a SEM gun. Haven't used it yet.
Stay away from the brush / roll on stuff, no activator, no UV protection, crap!
Its not Linex or Rhino. But its about 500 times better than Herculiner, Bondo brand, or one of those types.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Do a search on the board or check the projects forum.  Someone posted pics of theirs.

I decided to go with POR-15's version called POW-R-LINER.  Came complete including base, hardener and spray gun.  Although my ride is a daily driver the bed doesn't get abused too bad so I can't say how it compares to other do-it-yourself kits on the market in terms of durability.  I do know it saved me about half the cost of having a Line-X job done.

Good Luck!
