While there is seldom a day in my life that I don't spray with my own equipment. For my own vehicles, I would not care about a perfect appearance. I do care about my neighbor calling the city on me when I am spraying, or being able to take advantage of any free hours I have for the emergency little metal protection project, including the stray free hour, the 20 F winter day, the windy day. A roller or cheap brush is disposable, making this more attractive. I understand I might need 3 coats or more to get one coat of a sprayer, maybe more. But I know the added behind the scenes work that negates the 18x faster advantage of the spray gun. Spraying has quality advantages in nearly all circa, but logistically and tactically, I am more drawn to seeing if I can get away rolling the stuff on in a few coats.
I might get a 97 f250 7.3 work truck. It has ranch hand diamond plate bumpers. Im gonna get it painted a simple paint job our local maaco has incredible reviews and I like the price they quoted me. Then do the bumpers and bed with this stuff myself. Start my journey with a nice looking truck.
I have a 76 j10 8ft.. and its bed.. is well goneeee lol as you see on my vids.. but im rebuilding it with a nee floor and floor supports.. and when im done.. i plan to use this or rhino liner or something tough.. not gonna paint it. Because itll be used and paint will just chip and scratch
Years ago I made the mistake of buying the rattle can liner. It didn't completely stick but wasn't a catastrophe, still left most of its course surface. Do you think this would be rough enough for it to adhere the Harbor Freight liner? Like you I don't feel like doing body work.
I literally flinched at the "rebuild the carb" step. This man has seen some shit. This is a true DIY mechanic. Necessary step in any project involving a pressure washer. Great video, nice work
Wind is caused by people unfurling plastic sheeting, drop cloths, or picnic table covers. Before filling the rusty joints, spray them with a rust inhibiting paint. I've became a fan of Ace's Rust Stop. It comes in a larger can for less money. It also dries to touch must faster than Rustoleum and dries to handle the same or faster than Krylon. The polyurethane sealant you used should be better than silicone since the bed coating is less likely to stick to the latter.
You had me at “Good enough for who it is for “!!! I say the same sh**t!😂 You had my sub for “giving it all the beans!!” Thank you for the laugh and advice.
I would have just sand/brushed that rust and then epoxy primed it. Rust would have been sealed up and the bedliner would bond well. It looks good nonetheless!
