The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Spray on bedliner for the floor????

I'm thinking about using a spray on or roll on bedliner for the floor of my '50 GMC rather than a mat because I'd like to be able to hose it out without trapping the water under the mat and helping the floor rust out. Has anyone tried this?

Did it to a 78 jeep wagon - applied 2 coats rolling it on. The more coats the more rigid or gritty surface. Great material for spraying out mud - dirt. Jeep was weekend mud machine. Had to coat kick panels and bed side as well.

Great idea, I used the stuff on my 97 chevy pick up bed and was very impressed. Never thought to use it in the floor of the 55.1. Should work great to lock out rust and keep water away from metal. I would recommend the floor, plus the seat mount and also the kick panels and get up as high as you can on the fire wall.

It works pretty well for noise reduction too, but looks like tupperware and is unremovable. Just make sure you kill all the rust before application.

MY nephew just started a business of spraying on bed liner. He ripped the carpet out of his 05 jeep and sprayed the floor with the stuff. Waterproof seat covers, sprays the whole inside out after 4 wheelin. He has sprayed some unsual things and places in just a month of being in business. Has a choice of many colors and even can custom mix colors.

Thanks guys. I thought it would work but wanted to see if anyone else had tried it. I also drilled a couple of drain holes in the bottoms of the cab corners so hopefully this truck will be rust free in all of the normally rusted places.

Been there, done that, works great.
Did the entire floor, interior firewall and inside steps on the 59. What shows looks close to original, easy to clean and tough as nails. I used the Duplicolor roll-on and the spray for hard to reach areas. Available at WalMart in Qt and Gallon cans for the roll-on.

A buddy of mine did the whole inside of his cargo van with the roll on stuff.. when it got dirty, he'd open the back doors, then sit in the cab with a hose and just spray away.

Tough as nails, looked real nice, i'll be using it for the cab floors of both my '46's.

I really like that idea too. I have a somewhat beat up bed because my truck was a work truck before I bought it. I knew I could straighten out dents and bondo skim coat the outside, but had thought about rhinolinering the inside of the bed...until I saw the stuff peeling off the bed of the truck at work. However, on an interior floor, I think it is a fantastic idea. Might even quiet it down a decibel or two.

I still don't know how I'll make the inside of my bed look good. I've seen diamond plate and wood panels done and look good, but I haven't decided. Have any of you seen any problems with the spray on bedliners peeling off in spots?

My buddy did a home spray on for this 59 Chev
stepside...his took his time in preparation and
taping.... the results were fantastic...didn't know if I would like the look in an old truck...
... it looks fine...go for it..K

I'm going to apply it to the under side of my cab and inner fender liners. Hopefully it will reduce noise and rock chips and wash off easily,

used it on the entire floor of my 47 cj2a. It was a multi patch mess and not only does it look better and cover a lot of sins, it should be easy to maintain. I used the duplicolor system and they sell you a spray gun that has a hose you put in the gallon can. Very easy to apply.

48BIGTRUCKS, go down to wal-mart and get the undercoating spray can stuff. It's about $3.00 a can or so, and it's specifically made for the underside of your vehicle. I just finished doing the entire underside of my truck (which stinks cause it's a LWB :p ) and MAN is it quite! Still quite clean too, only dust, which will wash right off.

I think I'm gonna go get me that duplicolor stuff at wal-mart.

I used the Duplicolor roll-on product in the bed of my '70 C10. Put on 3 coats and it looks really good. I plan on using it on the cab floor as well and using rubber floor mats instead of carpet.

anybody have pics?

I was planning on using Line-x, or something like it for under my fenders, cab, and on the cab floor and inner firewall. I thought I would use some stick on insulation like Dynamat for the entire inside of the cab. Then the bed liner over it on the floor and firewall. Still thinking on it, but with the thin insulation, and some thick bed liner completely covering it, and sticking to the steel cab floor around the edges it should stay dry underneath, and be really really quiet. And if for some reason I want to remove it, it should be easier than if it were stuck right on the floor. I am also using a 4-53T Detroit engine, so anything I can do to reduce noise will be well worth it.
