Al's liner DIY bedliner kit "step by step"

[Cummins724]

I started sanding this evening & I'm about ready to get the masking on. Tomorrow is another day, hoping to spray it in the next day or so... depending on what time I get out of work.

Here is a picture of my bed before I got started. [after removing the drop in liner]

I'm sanding with a D. A. sander using 36 grit & hand sanding the tight areas.

I just need to sand the tailgate real fast & mask it off, then I'll be shooting Al's. :-laf

Well guys, It started storming here today & we got winds 70mph. The power started flashing on/off & I decided to wait to spray. I did finish sanding & masking though, just gotta wipe & spray now.

I am impressed!!!! I am really happy with the way it turned out. I spoke with Al's liner today & they told me to spray it at the highest psi my compressor could keep up with. I sprayed my bed at 125psi & held the gun 3ft away. It has a great texture & very nice color match [atleast under the garage lights LOl]. The pictures are loading now, but here is a teaser.

I cleaned the bed with wax & grease remover, then laquer thinner. Then I sprayed etching primer on the bare metal before applying the Al's primer. I color matched the liner using 1 cup of automotive pigment to 1 gallon of Al's. I coated the gun with vasoline & started spraying. I am very happy with the texture & finish!!

man that looks great. How much was it to spray you bed, just curious. I have been wanting to do the lower 1/4, rocker panels and wheel wells with spray liner but the best qoute I could get was about 350 for line x.

Thanks. It is $95/gallon since the group buy is over. The gun is $55.

gotcha, not bad. How many gallons did the bed take? How many coats? Do you have a link to a site for the product or anything else?

Al's Liner:rofessional Grade DIY Truck Bed Liner Kits I put 2 gallons on. It was laid on in 3 heavy coats. The best part about it, if I ever decide to go thicker, just wipe it down with laquer thinner & spray it.

Look's good. It looks like it has a different texture and shine/color than the rhino liner i had shot on the bed of my truck a couple years ago.



Did you ever get the rockers linex'ed?

 

[raksasa]

Looks as good as Line-X

Thanks guys. I was gonna get the line-x, but I only have one place close who does it. I was at Diesel Dawgs & saw a truck that got Line-x'd at the place & it was masked off terribly & got on seats, carpet etc. I decided to do it myself instead. I would want to ---- ---- ------ if my truck got messed up. :-laf

 

[Cummins724]

Got the rockers sanded, then sprayed etch primer & liner went on this morning. I'll get better pics tomorrow in the light. #ad
