Did the bed liner paint help with algae suppression? Can you upload a follow-up? Thanks!

To save time and money, all you need to do to prep outer surface is use a deglosser, you rub on with cotton rags. I sprayed oil base primer, then I sprayed flat black oil base paint. Using HVLP spray rig.

good idea

I see everyone painting IBC totes with black paint or covering them with black plastic. That's called a passive solar water heater. The objective is to block sunlight, which can be accomplished with any non transparent color, including white. This is also necessary to avoid the plastic from becoming brittle and cracking from the sunlight. Been there, done that, and have a cracked 500 gallon plastic tank lined with algae to prove it. I'll soon be replacing it with IBC totes, painted with bed liner (great solution!) BTW, the algae also gets sucked into the check valve of the pressure pump, blocking the valve from closing to shut off the pump when it reaches sufficient water pressure. So the pump just cycles on and off, wasting electricity. |-( Just sayin'.

I'd recommend a respirator when spraying that stuff even if outside.

Raptor liner is expensive man. A can of bed liner at harbor freight is only $50.

Tried looking for the follow up but couldnt find it. How did it go mate and would you consider it a long term solution?

Reminds me of an episode of Benny Hill....

Question is did it stick or did it start to peel off after a year?

Did the algae grow?!

Still holding up? Did it prevent algae?

Jus watched the other video saying not to spray tote ... ha ....

He has no clue how to spray with a gun!
