bedliner to avoid
#12
Thanks guys this isn't for the jk yet. Was planning on doing the bottom some of the off road trailer I built and wasn't sure what I wanted to use to paint the sides and was considering bed line so I figured I would do the underside first to see how I like it since this is my first attempt at using it. I have all tools needed and was planning on using the rattle can for simplicity but Im not opposed to rolling or spray gun of its better. Thanks guys I didn't see the rust oleum so skipped it today. Where can you buy the raptor liner
Wow, that looks great . Mine took about 2-1/2 to 3 hours to spray because you need to wait an hour between the 2 coats. Prepping the surface took a good day.

I Monstalined my hard top with the rollers and it was a bit of a pain. The inside has so many nooks and crannies I had to use a paintbrush and it took f o r e v e r. I'm considering the tub but definitely going to spray that.
Unfortunately I finished just before I deployed so I haven't been able to drive around with it. I can tell you that 7 months is a great curing period.

I like the rustoleum as well. It has worked well on bumpers and sliders for me. The key to any painting is prep. Clean the surface. Make sure there is no rust (POR15 not withstanding). Make sure there is no grease, wax etc. Acetone on a lint free rag works great. Scuff the surface a bit first some sandpaper or steel wool. This gives the paint something to "bite" into. Be sure to clean AFTER sanding/scraping. Don't paint when the humidity is high and give it time to dry/cure.
I did my first bumper in duplicolor and ended up stripping it (that sucked) and redoing it in Rustoleum. Has held up well.
