bed liner crap!

[gpday06]

the interior floor pan of ny truck has this spray on bed liner crap, and the previous owner put it on there because the floor has holes that im now finding, so how go i get this crap off so that i can start cutting and welding on the floor?

Did a search and found this bit of bad news:

You can use Xylene while product is still wet, but if it dries, it's permanent.

I guess you'll have to experiment.I'd try a fibre disc or coarse sanding disc (36 grit) to start and see what happens. I'd try this only on the spots where you have to weld.

Good luck.

I would try a grinder with a wire wheel on it to see what happens.

I would try if all else fails is heat and a scrapper.

First how rusty is the bed as a whole? If there is major rust throughout I would consider replacing the whole bed with a better starting point and save a lot of hassle. If the bed is in nice shape except for some holes in the floor then I always heard those spray on bedliners are pretty much permanent.

I had to have one replaced by the dealer. They used an air needle scaler. I don't have any idea how well it worked, but I was happy they had to fix it under warranty

I have a needle scaler and although obnoxious it is effective. Is it real Rhino lining or is it the Wal-Mart do it yourself stuff? I would just cut out the area you need to cut out, grind around the edges and weld in your patch, then reapply some spray on liner.

its in the bed, and the rust is completley through making holes, and i want to put down carpet and the sound deadener, and insulation, so i just want that @#%$ off!
