So what would you think is better spray on or just roll on I already bought the roll on but can always take it back?Jdholmes said:I used the black rustoleum with mine.
There are no issues with adhesion so far...it seems quite hard. I cleaned, sprayed self-etching, then sprayed the bedliner. It took 3-4 cans on my 14 foot. FYI - most economic place to get it was walmart @4.77 a can.
I only used it on the floor.
In regard to fading and losing gloss...the rustoleum doesn't have a gloss to it anyways.
In regards to weight, rustoleum is not going to add any significant weight. The professional bedliners are the ones that have weight.
In regards to heat, I couldn't see it being much hotter than the bare aluminum...which would be hot.
Also...there are boat manufacturers that are coating the interiors with some form of bed liner/traction paint. I have seen them at bass pro.
So far it seems a great way to get a good traction floor economically.
Boo said:I can't think of a worst product to put on your boat then bedliner coating except black bedliner coating . Many of the bedliner coatings are very abrasive and down right painful when bare arms and legs are rubbed against the sides of a small boat . All bedliner coatings fade quickly when exposed to sunlight and lose there gloss becoming a not very attractive flat color . As stated above when you go to remove it and most likely you will its a bear of a job . You want the sides of your boat smooth so you can wipe fish guts and everything else off easily . If you want a no slip floor there are much better ways of doing it then bedliner . There is a reason none of the boat manufacturers use that stuff on their boats . For the record if i showed up to go fishing with someone and saw that they had black bedliner on the inside of their boat , i wouldn't go .
Thank you sir, and its dinged up on the bottom you can see some of it but what do you expect from a 60s model boat haha.ketchup sandwich said:Looks good!! =D>
Regarding it on plywood...I am sure it would seal the wood and give you a nonskid surface. I would put 2 coats on all around. Sounds like a great alternative to coating the boat.

Looks good, but if you ever develop a leak, don't plan on being able to seal it from the inside. Not the end of the world though as there are lots of products that are designed to work on the outside of the hull to seal up leaks as well.
