I was considering having my rocker panels and valances sprayed with rhino lining. Kind of figured the texture would go well with the roof and the sail panel vinyl. And, at the same time, preserve the finish and prevent rust. Anybody done this?

QUOTE do the engine bay. that would be cool. bumper tops and other stuff could be cool i think it is a bad idea, it's heavy, and due to the texture, very hard to keep clean and consistant in color...it's great for the bed of a pickup truck (my truck has it) |

They can do different thicknesses. |

Have F/G bumpers on Suzi, but wanted more stock look with 'rubber' bumper pads. Used this, they came out fine, so did my rockers and valences.
The Good: Cyano base (super glue/POR15) so absolutely sticks and rustproofs if you do both sides. Covers fairly large imperfections. The Bad: 10 feet away is OK, but when you get really close it doesn't look like original. UV fading, but armorall takes care of that. And REALLY, don't get it anywhere you don't want it, and don't ask me how I know. Before.. Attached image(s) |

I like it Howard. A lot more durable than paint. Won't chip.

Herculiner is the product I used. Like $90 for the one gallon kit. Plenty to do a 914. Comes with a coarse rollers (don't use anything else). Herculiner
Have both spoilers. Black one is still on car. PM me if you want one. |

And I would buy the roll on kit again. Usually at Pep Boys or such. Cheaper than the spray on, I'm sure, and it's really easy to do.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Now that's funny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) I've seen the 75/76 bumpers done with this kind of lining. Unfortunately for the owner, it didn't come out as well as he'd like. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) I'd really like to see Howard's car. From the pictures it looks like it came out very nice. This stuff is pretty indestructible... so be sure. It's probably a one-way path. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

i did my trunk with the stuff ( the pep boys stuff )but soon discovered it scraps up pretty easily, i was going to do my engine bay in it to but because of the scraping problem i did not. i wound up using a rubberized undercoating, because it deadins sound very well. but i want to remove it because it makes the engine bay even darker than black paint.

That's why I thought the Rhino lining might fare better. They do use it for truckbeds. |
