is the bed linber in a spray paint can any good and do you have to do sanding before you use it and whats some good bed liner spray
To answer your question bed liner in a can is garbage, you are wasting your time applying it. The truck bed needs to be sanded in order for the liner to adhere. You don't have to take the bed of the truck down to bare metal but you must take the schene off the truck bed. I have done this professionally in the past, I used to use a 2 part epoxy mixed thoroughly. Usually took 6 - 7 bottles to ensure complete coverage. In order to get the non skid effect we used to blast application with a fine mist of black beauty sand. After application was done we had to set a heater in the back of the bed in order to heat cure the applied liner for roughly 3 hours. My suggestion would be either find a Rhino dealer or a Ziebart in your area.
If you're going to be working on something as important as a vehicle, it might be a good idea to get it professionally done. Rhino linings is probably the best bed liner out there. It's guaranteed for life and it looks great. My boyfriend owns a business and the trucks really do come out great. I've also seen a lot of the other liners and they are junk by comparison. Good luck
i wouldn't waste your time or money on the do it yourself bed liners. i use to work for a place called line-x. by far the best bed liner on the market. we use to take out rhino liners and put in a line-x bed liner. it is actually easy to do all you need is a razor a hammer and a chisel and it will come right out. rhino is sprayed colder and slower than line x so you tend to see a lot of drips and runs in rhino where as line x is sprayed fast and dries instantly. line-x has a lifetime national warranty with it also. my opinion with the spray paint liner is that it won't be thick so it will chip like paint and just come right out. if that happens with line x they can do a quick easy repair. when you do a spray in liner you must sand first other wise the material won't stick at all.
The Do it yourself bedliner. I did this, and either I dind't do it right, or it just sucks. You do have to do some sanding, but you also clean the bed with acetone. I had the paint can one, where you basically paint it onto the bed. If you don't rough up all of the paint in your bed, this stuff will shrink and leave the paint exposed. Like I siad, I might not have done it right, but I did mine 3 years ago, and it looked decent, nothing like the pro's do, but it did what I needed it to do, 3 years later, its not as effective as it once was. It still covers the bed, but there is more areas that are exposed. Over time, it seemed to shrink, and exposes more of the bed. If I were to do it over again, and if I get the money to do so, I will probably pay to have it done, like Line-x, or some other professional spray on bedliner.
We have the Rhino Lining Spray-On bedliner I know the business that did it, did sand first. We are VERY happy with Rhino Lining. Just make sure you go to someone experienced or it can be a mess. Just like our guy told us, anyone can put it on, but it doesn't mean it's on there right.
