Spray-on Bed Liner?

My RTV 1100 will arrive without the factory liner. I am planning to bring my RTV 1100 over to Rhino to have the bed sprayed in. I am planning to keep the RTV 1100 for a very long time, and I am also very hard on my equipment,
What other parts of the RTV 1100 should I have sprayed in?

Thank you for your advice.
Regards,
FRIZ
 
What Heatwave said.

After driving mine in the brush for the past 7 years, I'm thinking I should have put it on my brush guard but I've just painted it every few years.
 
Like mentioned before. Fenders inside and out. Floorboards, in and out. Area under seat and under cab. And Bed and under bed.

Only thing about installing in some areas. Most companies has to sand the area before the installation.

Now, they have a new one on the market that all it has to be is cleaned first with soap & water. Don't remember the name. But it is out there and has a great warranty !!!!

you can't go wrong with spraying that bed liner it's like havin insurance on your utv's and cars/trucks.
 
here here, I agree 200%. Please excuse the thread creep, but I ended up spraying my truck bed, rockers, fender lips, front grill, nerf bars, bumpers and custom push bar me and my buddy built. has made a HUGE difference ! Big believer in using lots for durability, and no reason not to on the Bota !

Looks good Pinnacle. That stuff is good for so many applications. I did my 12ft utility trailer with good results.
 
I'll side track for a second. If you notice the "Hell's Fury" plaquards, those are custom. ( lots of people ask about um, and even ask the local dealer if they can get one of those "Hells Fury" Special Edition" Fords ) Funny thing is, this is a F150 full Crew Cab, not 250 or 350, and when me and my buddy built that push bar, and did all the LineX, we had to come up with a name caus we thught it special. He had a place in South Texas and talked about "Hells' Fury" Texas, so that's what we used. Went on internet, had the plaques done same size, same shape as the Ford ones, and wayla ! "Hells Fury Limited Edition" . Is NO WHERE as clean as that now, but she has served me well, and continues so since 2006, and looks real smart pulling that camo Bota down to da fud plats to mak sum fixns for does deaaar. Here's a pic of it stock befur wee'd did ouur stufph on tit ......... maaajic !

Ohhhh the famous Buck "nod" cant get better, thx. Hav to amdit, suR was fun creating it it. Another funny, he had a set of real "Texas long horns" we came VERY close to building in to that push bar, but didnt, and that set now resides above my BarBq as a reminder they almost got built in. Instead, we put a set of steel horns on her .......... guuud to cacth thum road crosssin deaar and then ys jus tie'em'up when yad stop ! Let me tell ya, people see that coming in their rear mirror, and they get over to let ya by pretty darned quick, love it !

Re-think under carriage washing and sealing-please

As a former user of Ziebart I never recommend spray in with a wash.
What Ziebart would do is to wash the undercarriage and then not allow enough time for the nooks and crannies to dry. They would then encapsulate the water under the spray on material. Which is why my formerly rust free Chevrolet Suburban fell apart 18 months after treatment. The frame and most of the floor rusted through.

If you must wash, give it far longer than reasonable to dry. If there is ANY water trapped under the sealant you will have a hole in 12 - 18 months.

In the bed I might use the spray on but also use the liner. When the spray-on gets a hole in it you can't always see it and if you keep re-spraying it you add useless weight to the machine and eventually end up stripping it off and starting again. If you don't notice the hole then you start developing corrosion and then if you seal over it and then you have a real problem. If you trash/wear out the liner, you can always replace it easily

Stick with the liner, grease the bed underneath it with axle grease (thin coat) and if you really need to soak a small mop head in 90wt and swab the underneath with that. Then park over newspapers for a few days. You could also use spray-on white lithium grease in the hard to reach spots.

If you still need to spray the under carriage (road salt need to come off?) then I would really think twice about washing it and spraying it in the same month - really. I'd just as soon encapsulate the dirt and dust.

I had to throw out a truck with 110k on the clock because of just this kind of thing. If I can stop it from happening to someone else then, good.

Either way, have fun using your machine.

.... THANKS FOR THE POST

That has some very interesting statement in it. It will make one think twice before
spraying one ....

Myself, I have the liner inside our RTV, and probobly would have sprayed one in if there was a sprayliner dealer in our area at that time. So I purchased the Kubota OEM liner.
Glad now after reading this, that I did go with the Kubota liner....

thanks much !!!!

Or my personal favorite, Fluid Film. The stuff is awesome and you'll find 100 uses for it (the first week...). I use the spray for small jobs/spaces and the gallon jug for larger things (e.g. under the mower deck).

I agree with marcintosh and bcZoom. Bedliner with grease or heavy oil between liner and metal.... and fluid film everywhere else....Just don't try to paint or apply a coating of any kind over the fluid film...

I have had similar experience to marcintosh and agree with his posted opinion. The fluid film displaces any water it encounters so doesn't create the entrapment that the "hard' coatings can do....of course it needs re-application from time to time...spring and autumn in my case.
 
Thanks for the correct link.

Give it a try sometime. You'll end up like me and swear by the product, using it most everywhere you want a lubricant or sealer. With that and a bottle of Kroil on my shelf, WD-40 and PB Blaster seem so obsolete.

Sorry for the hijack. Back to bed liners.
