Color Your Hippo???

[Ziptar]

In reasearching bed liners I came across "Color Your Hippo" Tintable Urethane Bed liner. It's made by Dominion Sure Seal, the same company makes "Gator Guard II".

Found out about it on a boat building board, guys use it for non-slip deck surfaces.

When I do a frame off on my truck I was thinking I would Duraback the engine compartment, Under Body, and Cab floor and bed in plain old black.

Matching the coating to the body paint would be kind of cool.

Kit is $74 online, anyone seen / used it???

you can get almost every bed liner in different colors now. if it's spray in i say go for it, but i'd never trust a roll on one

They sell that at Canadian Tire up here in Canada.   www.canadiantire.ca  You'll probably find it there, and probably for cheaper than that price too.  My truck has a brush-on bedliner in it thats about 5 years old. It seems to be holding up okay but when I helped somebody move recently and they dragged a sharp-edged file cabinet across my truck bed  it did take some of it off   The tailgate was done in something different though and it looks much more rugged and more of a bumpier texture.  I wish I knew what both products were.

On my '78, I took Dupli-Color spray in truck bed coating and taped off about 2" around the front fenders and taped it to the height of the rocker panels and sprayed them with the stuff.  Anyone who has seen my truck with the fender flares, I took those off and painted about 1/4" past where they stopped.  I liked them, but they were trapping mud and eating my paint.

1976Scottsdale what type of fender flares did you have on your truck and would you by chance still have them?

Sorry, they have already been sold.  They were unmarked, so I don't know who made them, but they were removed because they had sharp backs and dug into the paint and also filled with mud, which is never good for one of these trucks.  I will try to find some similar ones, there are a few sets at a local junkyard.  I can usually get them for $20.00 or $30.00 a set.
