Bedliners
Hey guys this may not be the right forum or even the place I may get the best response but I'm going to give a few different forums a shot since I rarely venture away from the BigBronco board.
Anyhow I have an 88 bronco that I am in the midst of deciding what to do with. One of my considerations if I do keep it is to spray the interior floor and walls a spray-in liner, maybe Rhino maybe something else. I have several questions and concerns. The first is can this ever be removed once sprayed in, is it a major ordeal and will it damage the paint or metal once removed? I guess thats actually the first through third questions but whatever.
What is the heat and acoustic insulation value of the spray-in liner? Can or should I prep with dyna mat or another type insulation first?
Are there any other concerns you would have or can think of that I might need to consider?
Thanks
Mike

Did that seem like a big deal? Was the other cars paint damaged.
I'm still interested in others opinions. One gentleman told me that it should be considered permanent was difficult to remove.
Any ideas?
Thanks

It sucks to remove. Usually a big grinder will take it off, but it tends to melt making a nasty mess. I would consider it permanent. I've got bedliner sprayed in my 76 Ford on the floorboards and its awesome. I just hose it out when I'm done getting muddy and It looks like new. I just used the do it yourself stuff though. But I got a better one than the Auto Zone style. If you think that would work for you try going to an automotive paint store and ask about spray in liners you can do yourself. Fiberglass Evercoat has one called "Protective Liner" or something like that and another company called Dominion Sure Seal has one called "Hippo Liner". I used the Hippo. A kit costed $65 bucks and it was enough to do the whole floor of the cab and I still have half of it left. These kits work better than the AutoZone style kits because they take a hardener. It makes them alot stronger and resistant to gasoline and other chemicals.

The easiest way to remove it is with a propane torch and a scraper. Work in small areas. Once done, sand, prime and paint the area with regular paint if you wish.
Spray/Roll on liners work great on floorboards, the underside of the floor pan, etc. It's really tough stuff too.
As long as you apply it to a scratched surface, it will stick. You can even prime your floorboards with rustoleum primer, paint with a random color that's cheapest, scratch it good with sandpaper, then apply the bedliner and it will be there for years to come, even if water sits on it for long periods of time.
