Which Truck Bed Liner is best? Let's find out!
Рет қаралды 1,892,714
5 жыл бұрынWhich spray-in truck bed liner coating is best? Dupli-Color, Rustoleum, Plastikote, EZ Liner, and Herculiner tested. A bed liner coating is great for all sorts of metal surfaces around the home or shop, not just pick-up truck beds. In this video, I tested several common brands for durability in the cold, hot, resistance to chemicals, impact, scratch resistance and more.

might want to include with and without primer on it also. Some of these may act completely different when a bonding agent is added between the liner and old paint or raw metal. Some of the differences seen in cold weather testing and room temperature may actually be differences between how they bonded to old paint versus raw metal.

Instead of pro sprayed stuff, which would obviously be very superior, to me the interesting comparison would be 2-part spray at home kits. SEM and UPOL among others have a spray yourself kit, about $100, they come with a spray gun, and mix with a hardener. That's the real reason these spray can ones all failed, they aren't hardened, just dried via evaporated solvents. Put solvents back on them, they'll just turn back to liquid again.

Only one problem, the bed of my otherwise totally rust-free truck is rotted out under the plastic liner. Maybe the plastic liners seemed like a good idea when new. I thought that drilling drain holes on each end of the ribs might prevent the problem. Does anyone have any experience with this?

That doesn't mean its better, but we aren't going to switch from QWERTY to DVORAK anytime soon either. It works just as well once you get to know it even if it is a little inferior in theory. Nobody wants to re-learn. Obviously we all already know the metric system, but getting it as drilled into our thinking as the imperial system would take a lifetime.

Your no-nonsense, straight forward testing is excellent. I've used a lot of your videos to help decide which product to use for a variety of things. Thank you for providing these to us. The one suggestion I would offer, though, is to also add a numeric value to your scores that can be summed up for a total score. For example, A=5 and F=1. Using this method it is easier to immediately see which product does better overall at a glance. Using this method on your chart, Plasticote = 32, EZ-Liner & Rustoleum = 30, Duplicolor = 31 and Herculiner = 28. The A-F grade per category allows people to choose based on individual criteria, but the numeric score provides a "best overall" value. Regardless if you ever use this method, I definitely look forward to future test videos.

Project Farm please compare the bedliner to anti rust paint like hammerite... You could possibly paint it on oil based antirust paint with a brush. why not? Bedliner is less used in Europe is my personal impression, on tractors people used anti rust paint and undercoat on tar/wax base no bedliner is used for the same purpose of protection. The antirust paints are usually thicker and can live with a lot of scratches and impacts of painted more than one layer

I used Rustolium on a Honda Ruckus project (dual sport-ish scooter). Once you remove all of the plastic, you’re left with a raw aluminum frame, and the fuel tank is where your feet rest. I sanded and primed the entire frame and tank, then applied 7 very light coats, one coat a day. The can says it dries to be handled in 24 hours, but it didn’t fully cure for two weeks, something I’ve noticed with all rattle can paints and varnish. After that, it was solid. Your fingernail couldn’t scratch it no matter how hard you try, and rocks couldn’t chip it. With all of the thin coats, it made a very consistent 1000 grit matte finish. Occasionally I would get gas on the fuel tank. It would soften the paint, but cure back to its original hardness within a day. 2 years of use didn’t have a single chip or scratch before it was stolen. But if I were to do something similar again, it looks like plastikote might be worth a try using my painting method.

I'm not so sure it was a good idea to apply it in 7 light coats over the course of a week. But it sounds like it worked out Most products have a repsray window, if you don't put a second coat on withing X time you are supposed to wait Y time and sand to recoat. I've noticed the curing times being far longer than spec too. I sprayed some doors in 2k paint and it claimed cure time to be something like 30 days, but it took about 60 before it was actually hard enough to wet sand and polish properly.

audioh0lic - Scratching is all about the hardness level. I agree most people won't wait 30 days, however I'd bet most people aren't going to throw a bunch of bricks or scrap metal straight into their newly coated bed within the first week, either. It's going to be more typical stuff like boxes, ATVs, bags of mulch, kayaks, lumber, etc, that will be used in the first month. Odds are that it will be over a month before the first time you find that nail hidden under a big stack of lumber, try dumping gravel into the bed, or drop a tool box onto it.

Great vid. I have a twenty year old Mac tool box, top is worn out from me throwing my tools on top of it and just plain old daily wear and tear. I was going to just repaint it. Did that 4 or 5 years back. I'll use the Plastikote instead. Thanks !

Absoluitley great idea I would love to see por15 tested against similar products and also a handful of popular undercoating products such as Eastwood, rust oleum rubberized (regular) & rust oleum rubberized professional, krown, fluid film, 3M professional rubberized & 3M rubberized regular, tested against each other. That would be an awesome video I know many people would benefit from!!

Great comprehensive testing! Pretty much every aspect was covered. Everyone I know that had their bed coated, mostly by professionals, would not do it again. One guy has boot prints in his bed after walking on it, in the PA heat, months after it was supposed to have been cured. And he paid a lot for one of the top names marketed and applied by a pro.

I'd thought about doing my own bed liner but after watching this video, no way. None of these will hold up in the long run for anything heavier than a soccer ball or a sack of groceries. I'll stick with Line-X, professionally done. I've had outstanding results with Line-X in several trucks done over the years, and if you buy enough of this spray on crap to do all surfaces of the bed, sides, and tailgate to a thickness equal to what a professional shop would charge for Line-X, the cost for each would be close enough to go with the pro job. Thanks PF for yet another informative video that's saved me money!

Knew a mechanic who used this stuff on all the rocker panels he saw. Roll on first, aerosol for the tight spaces. Suffice to say his panels never rotted out. He even started to do lower quarters of cars, where surface rust usually eats through here in Canada. Looked decent enough, kind of a two-tone theme but for texture.

Another suggested test: see if the liner will re-bond to the washers after having been soaked in the solvent. I assume if something spilled in your bed you wouldn’t go and wipe it off right away so this would test what happens after the solvent dries away

A way that we used to make an anti-skid coating for a boat, steps, or the wing root area on a small aircraft where you step on it to get into the cockpit was to use flat black oil based paint, brushed on thickly, and then dusted with mason's sand while wet, followed by a lighter coat of paint when it dried.

@ox6942 5 жыл бұрын
Good idea! Brake fluid can be used to swell rubber parts. It's useful to get rubber suspension bushings to stop squeaking. It might take some time, but it works. It can be used, using maybe an ounce or two into at least several quarts of oil, to swell the seals in engines to stop a rear or front main seal leak. Sometimes works with valve cover gaskets if they're the older style. It also eats away paint and attracts water to itself, causing all the parts saturated in it to rust quicker. It's hygroscopic, meaning water is attracted to it. Weird stuff.
@rpgarchaeology6049 4 жыл бұрын
Great video, as always. I think my takeaway from this one is: Either get it professionally sprayed (like my father in law did with his truck) or get a drop-in liner (like I did with mine). These rattle cans just don't seem up to it, and I suspect multiple coats would help, but still not be as reliable.
