Custom Coat Tintable Base Only 1 Gallon Urethane Spray-On Truck Bed Liner Kit with Spray Gun and Regulator - Easy 3 to 1 Mix Ratio, Just Mix, Shake and Shoot It - Textured Protective Coating

Over two years in the making. Goal was to color match my rhino jeep. I wanted some practice first.(much of this review stems from questions I had in my research)Started mixing battle ship gray and smoke black, eventually adding insignia blue. Very close but not quite. Close enough. Ended up with 1 oz. each per bottle. I call it "Rhino123", 'cause that's about how many tries it took to get the color. Discovered the tint bottles are not consistent. The amount of pigment varies, so they have to be sorted accordingly or mixed together. I mix a batch in a clean liner bottle then use a 3 oz. cup to measure out for each bottle mixed.I've experimented with different levels of prep, scratch pads & sand paper.Over oxidation and prepped rust. So far it's been very forgiving and durable.Started with an old trailer tool box (spots of rust), intending to leave it out in the weather. Been two years, still looks good. Then the trailer, testing color and spray patterns. The grill and then a wheelbarrow to test textures. (just scuffed with scratch pads. oxidation and rust present on wheelbarrow) Why not a purple wheelbarrow?Clean seems to be more important than the level of abrasion. Used Custom ShopPanel prep, Grease and wax remover and acetone.Time to get down to business. Paint day! Took 12 bottles (grill & tailgate previously painted so 2 more bottles there). Three coats & good thickness, I'll take it. A coat consists of two passes overlapping, diagonally opposite. 100 psi at compressor, reg set at 50-55 psi, nozzle four turns out, 18" to 20" distance using included spray gun. Easy to spray. Took my time, no need to be in a rush. Five hours to spray jeep with a half hour lunch and an hour between coats. I also clean the spray gun between bottles. I let the liner cure for at least four days before exposing to direct sun or re-assembly that would put pressure on the liner(i.e. things bolted to it). The samples I pulled from the mask stayed rubbery for three days before starting to harden up. Still flexible, not brittle one month later.Yes, the spray gun is cheapo. My biggest issue is the trigger. There's a little pad that engages the air valve. It will start to slip to the side and form a groove. It gets to where it slips and binds up too often, throwing off your rhythm. If you get enough kits to spray a vehicle, you'll end up with enough spray guns. Once it starts slipping, it goes in the pile. Get another one. I had four ready to go. Wore out the first one, which still had purple on it, second is still good. They do work. Tried the $80 upol "professional" spray gun. It does make the grit pattern slightly less coarse than the regular one, adjustable to almost a matte paint look. I was surprised how the adjustment did make a noticeable difference (unlike the regular spray gun). It won't go as coarse as regular ones. You'll notice I didn't use it for this project.I let it cure for at least four days in the shade- 75 to 85 degree days. I think letting it get too hot, too soon leads to problems. Tested this on the wheelbarrow. It went into direct sun a few hours after spray. No shrink or peel so I don't know. The jeep stayed under cover for five days.Something to keep in mind: anything you take off to paint under won't fit the way it did before. This stuff is pretty thick. I got .021" total. My father, a professional automotive painter for 25 years, commented that in all his time he never checked his paint thickness with a micrometer. I think he may have been making fun of me.First day out- (painting done one week ago) well, it didn't fly off in big sheets going down the highway so that's good.Got a few scrapes from creosote brush, not one mark. Looked good before, looks better with some dust on it.Over a month now- has sat in direct sun all day in the parking lot at work, 90*+ temps.No shrinking or any wierdness. Could smell the volatiles for three weeks or so.I want to do another one. Coyote maybe. I want someone else to prep it, I don't ever want to do that again. lol. I'm eyeing my neighbor's YJ. Wonder if they'd notice...

Its all about the prep. Used #80 grit all over first and taped or removed what I could. Only used 6 of the 8 bottles. Did the entire truck minus inside the bed. Gonna do it black. Main point to make is keep the gun working or clean. Do a test spray on something first to get your angle and distance you want. Coats very well. Bought some green tint and used an extra bottle for my quad. It looks awesome too. Oh...also bounced a construction rake off the side 2nd day. No scratches!

This work well and appreciated the quart bottles. Applied a gallon on the deck of my trailer. Quality product.

Bed is a short 6.5 foot bed. Three liters covered entire bed and tail gate. I find this mfg is thicker than others. They use a lot of base color and Corn starch/filler in primer and bed coating so, I prefer them over others to control thickness. Using the gun at 45psi works great and lays down a good build. I pour in hardener, than add reducer up to the bottle neck. Shake until my arms give up 2 min is suggested, attach and shoot. But, prep surface as required, blow out nooks and crannies, wipe down with MEK substitute or Acetone, tape up anything and everything you don’t want to get treated, etch prime bare metal and shoot front to back of bed from inside bed at about 2-3 feet. Save a cap or two from mixing, Once tape is removed, look for any goofs and use a small brush to dab. Don’t get wet!! dries in 48 hrs and hard as a rock in 7 days. Absolutely best stuff I’ve ever used. This is bed #5 done with this product. Best!

We bought this to coat a jeep. The wife wanted a professional paint job done. I got an estimate and it was several thousand dollars! We spent several days removing items not to be coated, sanding, cleaning and priming. The masking and finish was done on the same day in about five hours. The final product looks GREAT. It took six quarts for two coats on the jeep wrangler. The only problem was the gun is an absolute piece of junk. The trigger would wander to one side so two hands were required. If I had to do it again I would only buy the material and get a better quality gun elsewhere.

I'm using this system to paint an entire bus. It's fairly straightforward to spray, it doesn't make any more mess than any other spray system, and the pre-measured containers make consistent colors possible across large areas.I've used this product as a bed liner before, and it is very hard wearing and has stood up well to reasonably rough usage. It all about prep work and letting it cure.

The product came with great instructions. It was easy to apply with a spray gun. The final product came out great. The one slight issue was the silver tint color wasn’t an exact match to my original car color. Overall, I was very satisfied.

Bought the 1-gallon Spray Kit, Self Etching Primer and went to work.Used a pneumatic 1" and 3" sander and roughed up the entire bed where the product was to be applied.Really went after the clear coat since my truck is only 1-year old.Then, pressure washed the bed, let it dry and then used a rag with denatured alcohol to wipe the entire bed.Applied the spay in liner with the cheap and crappy spray gun it came with.It looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I was so pleased. I showed it to neighbors and friends.It was so pretty. Then about a month later, I needed to load up dirt bikes and gear... this was the first time anything was put in the bed of the truck.pushing in the metal dirt-bike ramp on the floor of the bed ripped up all coating.The OEM paint gleaning through from underneath the coating.Now the bed of the truck looks like sloppy workmanship.I will now need to re-sand and look for another bed-liner product to install.This has been a VERY disappointing experience for me using this product.

very pleased with product, not so much packaging but great heavy duty texture, goes on very well, covers very well, time will tell how well it holds up but sure feels like it will do a great job

easy to work with

Good enough product and easy to use. The gun isnt the best quality. Ran out of product at the end and had to run to the store to get more. 4 cans is not enough for 1 full coat. Wish i had the 6 cans and would have been able to complete a thick 1st coat and a second thin coat
