Best spray or roll on truckbed liner? (1 Viewer)

[KyleGS]

darren,
I take it from the "ok" that you aren't completely happy with the results?

 

[AllanRW]

That looks very well done from what I can see.

Tell us what you did?
As far as prep ect.

I had a hard time getting the flat black coat even, I had a gallon of KILZ house primer left over from painting my house that I used for first coat its white very exspensive primer, that was my mistake I think, it looks good though I like it alot,

Hey guys,

I put the flat black primer on the bottom of the enclosure to test it out, and it really doesn't look too good :frowning:

That is two coats right there, will spraying a coat of truckbed liner on top remove all the surface imperfections?

 

[MattD]

From my experience no. It will help a little but it is better to make sure the surface is nice and smoooth to begin with.

 

[AllanRW]

Ok Guys.
Prime till you have a even coat with no grain showing.
I see the coats could have been thin coats.
I put my paint on thick as I can without it running.
I use a roller and get the black paint on thick.
2 coats then liner spray do not go over this as in the photo or you will not be happy.Trust me.

Put more primer on then spray.

Email me if you have more problems.
I just finished 4 sets of 1.0 cabinets today all look great.

A roller for spray paint???

Jerry,
Did use actual flat black primer or the cheap Wal-mart flat black spray PAINT?

 

[AllanRW]

No a roller for the black paint I prime with.
Not the liner spray.

OK I think this almost calls for a samll video to be made and posted.

I just used cheap black spray paint. :b

The wood seems to really suck it up, but I will be putting on more coats tommorow to see if i can get a decent looking finish.

 

[AllanRW]

that is the problem.
You can not get in ton thick enough to fill the end grain.
If you can get a samll can of cheap black paint.Latex is just fine.
Sand the cabinet and brush on the Laxet paint or use a roller and but it on thick as you ca.
Like I said I do them in 2 coats all week long.
Did another cabinet today as well.

good luck
Al

Those edges are crying for primer. Without a sufficient coat or two of primer, you'll be buying a lot of spray cans.

As Al stated, he "primes" the boxes with black paint and a roller. I also think that using the roller might be the best way to go. One you've established a solid primer/foundation coat, then switch over to the spray to give it that "finished" look.

Also, be careful with those fumes with all that spraying. Too much of it can make you ill. Been there, done that.
