zero6zero Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 anybody ever consider or actually spray a heavy bedliner like permatex or rhino liner on the floor of their cars. I'm considering this on the inside and outside of my floor. it seems it would be excellent corrosion protection and an effective sound barrier.

ZeeNoEvil Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Works very well full strength underneath. On the interior we dilute it with ketone xylene so it lays flat and is thinner. Horrible stuff to try and take off for repairs though. Edited December 8, 2011 by ZeeNoEvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero6zero Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) wow. looks nice. what is ketone and what brand did you use. I have sprayed al's liner in the past. Edited December 8, 2011 by zero6zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duragg Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Didn't hear what you said about noise... but the bedliner looks positively electric in that car. I sprayed my custom dash with bedliner and it doesn't make any noise at all. Just sayin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeNoEvil Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) wow. looks nice. what is ketone and what brand did you use. I have sprayed al's liner in the past. The stuff we use is SEM Rock-It tintable bedliner. It can also be purchased in black and in a kit with a free gun. http://sem.ws/Catalog.asp?prod=315A automotive paint suppy should be able to tint this to any car color if you don't want black. Ketone xylene is a solvent that works for us although it is not stated in the instructions, (Do not use thinners or reducers!) Mask off any mounting surfaces that may effect alignment of parts and remove masking before final cure or you may not get it off. They also make a tape with a wire in it but I have never used it.

zero6zero Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm definitely going to to go this route. thanks for the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeNoEvil Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Do not use ketone, this is the wrong stuff. Xylene is what you want to use. My mistake and my apologies for not double checking. I will try to edit my previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero6zero Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 xylene. I have some of that. perfect. thanks zee going to try and spray it this weekend. I have some small nickle and dime size holes to weld up first. and are you applying carpet over this stuff. and or just the liner and some floor mats. curious how easy it is to clean. prob not very easy I would imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen a lot of abused pickup beds that hold up just fine. You can scuff it and scratch it but I've never seen it wear out, takes a week to fully cure, but you could walk on it the next day. We did a 67 TR4A last year and I climbed in and out of it countless time doing the wiring and it never hurt it any.

palladin Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 How would it compare to rubberized undercoat? Sound insulation value comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surpip Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 That 3M stuff in a can? never had good luck with that stuff always flaked away and never stopped rust POR15 undercoat and xylene is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dershum Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 How noxious is the SEM stuff to spray? I live in a condo/apt with a garage downstairs, so I'd prefer to not gas myself out of the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
