finally found a paint on ute liner, thats good, a guy showed me what his turned out to be, looks pretty damn good
in the pic above u can see an example of it on the box.
Very grippy, my dirtbike aint guna slip around anymore.
My brother is a painter so ill wait for him to have a day off to help me.
heres an example of a dried peice
all covered up
all scuffed up
rustkill sprayed on (1st coat)
gotta put another 2 coats on 2day, let it dry overnite then scuff it up JUST a tiny bit, then put the liner in 2mrw morning!
the paint mite not be that good cos i ma little hung over, and the fumes make me hungry, lol?

Careful you dont accidently paint Fido, he might bounce straight back up every time he lies down

Yes I just did this with my Pajero - removed all the lower grey plastic trim bogged up the 100 odd holes in the body work and painted it with that stuff.
Came up not too bad.
The Yanks get that stuff in spray packs and a heap of US Mitsi guys have done the same thing. The spray pack stuff has a finer grit and a more uniform finish but try as I might I couldn't find any product like that here.
There was only the Herculiner or Hardliner roll on kits
that I could find..
I got mine from Autobarn for $90 (Hardliner) but they get it from some ute place.
The Hardliner is South African did you watch the instructional DVD with the bare titted black chick painting it on a ute ??
I pissed myself watching that and just imagined scraping that crud of her boobs at the end of the day

Would love to know how this turns out, as i want something similar for my floor pan in my lux.
Does this stuff dry super hard, and will the sun make it soft?

Sell a spray on one at work, just use with a air gun, done in bout 10min

and cheaper and easyer than the older paint on stuff, forget wot its called thow.
