Gang,
I yanked the entire interior out tonight and was planning on just sanding it down a little and then re-spraying it before I re-build the rest of the interior. (one of the winter projects.) I had an idea for the interior, and the front and rear trunks. (Or boots...whatever.) I had an assistant a while ago that had these guys spray a bedliner into his new truck. Took them about a day, and it was REAL solid. The nice part was that it was impervious to lots of chemicals, and completely waterproof. http://216.28.21.48/cgi-bin/permatech.cgi/.../Tech_Info/A/55 That's the technical part, but I remember at the shop, they had a ton of stuff that they'd sprayed with the stuff. There is an off-road magazine that had them do the OUTSIDE of their truck because it was so great with chips and stuff. I'm thinking that it may add 30-40lbs to the car, but it'll never rust through, and if I get it done in Yellow, might actually look real nice too. I'm also thinking it'll quiet the interior up a bit. I think his truck bed cost like $250 (4yrs ago) and I can't imagine it'll take any more than that. Think it's a good idea? Or am I REALLY crazy? |

Yeah, the one that my friend did in his truck wore like nothing I've ever seen. We hauled bricks, wood, steel, and a LOT of computers in the back of that thing, and it looked new when he sold the truck 4yrs later.
It was only about 1/8" thick as I remember. They roughed up the metal first, primed it, then sprayed it on. Took like a day or something. I figure I can be working on my doors and hoods while it's there getting sprayed. It may not even weigh 40lbs total...Who knows. But I'm certainly not AXing int eh thing, and am just looking for a DD that'll last a lot of summers. I already have a call into them. I'll report back when I know costs and such. |
