Title: Rhino Lined
Post by: r0ckstarr79 on December 19, 2003, 10:59:12 PM
Anybody Rhino-lined (spray-in bedliner or whatever its called), the inside of there zuki? I gutted my samurai out and cleaned it all up on the inside. (Had about a 1/2 inch of sand and dirt under the carpet from going to the beach so much). Im going to have it sprayed in on the floors and somewhat up the sides of the interior....... Also, how much did it cost?

I think we just talked about something like this?

Anyway, it sounded like the rollon stuff is tough but a little ruff.  It's realy takes some scrubing to get the mud out of it.

I'm thinking about using the spray can kind.  It's not so ruff and it still tough.  My brother-in-law did this on his Jeep and was happy with the results.  It only took 2-3 cans.  He didn't go realy thick.

He said the key was to make sure the paint was scruffed up enoff.

 :D :D :D   Good stuff, just follow the instructions and you will get a good job.  Also works real well on lower body panels, the bottom of your doors, door openings so on and so on. Anywhere you may aquire rust. Also easy to paint over.    George; :D :D :D

What about this:

I have heard nothing but good stuff about all the POR-15 stuff.  The only thing even remotely close to bad that I have heard is that the rust preventative standard POR-15 is not good to paint over since paint doesn't adhere to it worth beans. Then again, they do make a primer to cover it for painting so I guess that doesn't really qualify as a bad thing

I got the interior of my track linexd, at a dealer for 420 and yes it is a waste of money. I didn't get it sprayed on the driver an passenger floor boards, b/c that is why the make floor mats. It is a bitc% to clean after mudding, and it always looks dusty, but if you ride with the top off alot like me it sure beats the hell out of cleaning carpet. I would rather of spent my money on a front bumper.

the whole point of having rhino coat, (I used hippo liner for $50) is to protect your truck from scratches, that would rub through the paint and start the rusting process.  if you're worried how clean your truck is under tha carpet, dont go offroading.  I put it in so that if I have a puddle under my carpet I dont know about, it wont rust out my floor boards.

I just happened across this I think this is what you are wanting to do right. I am planning on putting some kinda roll in bed liner in the summer, my carpet is getting a little funky. What is a good brand to look for and what does it cost to do your self on average?

They're making a colored spray-on liners now.  Get a cheep gun, go down to you paint store and see what you can get.

A friend on mine was telling of a guy that took color bed liner.  Painted his truck, and then clear coated it.  I guess it didn't look too bad.

Here is what I did.
 Stripped out the lower part of the interior including seats, carpets, and any other junk on the floor from the pedals to the tail gate.
 Then I vacuumed allthe dirt and followed up with a good scrubbing with laquer thinner.
 After that dried, I sanded with 80-100 grit sandpaper everywhere you are going to put the product.
 Next I wiped down again with thinner to remove any sandings and oils.  
 Using masking tape I masked where the product will stop on the fire wall, on the sides by the seat belts, all the bolt holes for the seats and along the top by the tailgate.
 I went with Herculiner because I  like the granual rubber texture. If you want a smooth texture I recommend DupliColor. Herculiner is available in black, red and I think blue. DupliColor makes a tintable liner so you can match any color you want.
 I applied a light coat first then laid out the rest of the gallon after 15 minutes. I put thicker material on the floor boards and bed. Two coats on the sides were plenty for the effect and protection. When it starts drying you can really build it up to a desired thickness.
 Once all the product was applied and set up for an hour from the time I started, I peeled away the tape to reveal a crisp clean line.
 Allow this to really dry before use, probably 2 days or so. then install your seats and whatever else.
 I don't think it's to bad for cleanup just use a hose and some Castrol SuperClean.
 By the way if anyone has rusted drain holes I have a tool I made for stamping new dimples for the drain plugs. I can make any size patch panel you need for your floor and you can weld it in.(E-mail me for details or if interested)

I hope my little instruction helps out. ;D

My trucklet is an '89 JLX, came with body color painted
side mirrors and license plate light/cover, now after
14 years of being an outside trucklet, the plastic was
loosing the paint, so I got some spray-on bed liner
and had at it, the nice thing is the thick coverage hides
the rough missing paint spots, and now with more cars
coming with black painted on these parts, it looks real
good again, adds a Butch look to the outside, that and
the hood scoop for the cold air ram for the turbo, adds
a mean look to the hood.
;D

I found some dealers in my neck of the woods who I am going to get some prices from to do my entire interior... I was shocked to find my driver's side floor board completely soaked from snow and slush last night.  I brought in my mats and carpets to dry in the boiler room and went out this morning to go and soak up the rest of the water with some old rags while I left my engine idling with the heat on and the fan full blast re-circulated air to the floor to help dry up quicker.  I even stuffed the passenger side vent with some gloves to force most or the air onto the drivers side.  Worked like a charm, all nice and dry again.

it's what i did.

so far i've just done the outside of the tracker up to the windows and the inside in the drivers/passengers foot area. I've still got enough left to do the inside in the back, but i have quite a bit of crap in there that i don't feel like moving, plus it needs to be powerwashed out (it's pretty dirty). ill probably finish it off in the spring when water won't freeze to everything...

Any flakes, peeling yet?

I tried it on a pickup and it made it 3 days and was gone! peeled off :-/ even preping to the directions.
<--------kinda like my pic there yesterday and gone today

Title: Re: Rhino Lined
Post by: explosivo on January 31, 2004, 07:40:29 AM
no peeling yet... i've had it on before winter starded, so it's taken all the abuse from the salt and cold, but then again i used a disc sander to prep it :P
Title: Re: Rhino Lined
Post by: MB on January 31, 2004, 07:51:20 AM
HUmmmmm wonder if a sandblaster would be a good prep? Along with the chemical wash?  :-/

We did my friends snowmobile in that stuff, not very durable at all. He smacked the sled into a tree yesterday, the "rhino liner" didn't do so hot......lol

Post by: wildgoody on January 31, 2004, 11:13:30 PM
Isn't the sled's body fiberglass ???
I bet that's the problem, too slick
to stick, or too flexy to hold on

Yeah we did the lower part of the belly pan and hood. The hood actually held up a lot better than we expected but the lower part, just sucked. We prepped as per the directions and it just crumbled off. I just think that it is too cheesey.
