August 11, 200421 yr I painted on that truck bed liner stuff half way up the sides. I like the new look. added better pic.
August 11, 200421 yr Looks good, I'm planning on doing that on the inner floor of the Hatch. How long it lasts depends on the thickness and number of coats you put on.
August 11, 200421 yr Author I sanded, primered ,and used one coat. The stuff goes on pretty thick. So far its seems pretty durable but I don't know if anything is going to be rock chip proof. You should have seen the bottom of my car before. It looked like it was sand blasted. Totally bare metal. not even rust. I think it would be great for the interior. I was originally going to do my floor boards that way.
August 11, 200421 yr I like it!! You could also use rubberized (not asphalt) undercoating for these types of applications. This will give you a very durable finish, but will probably not look quite as good. What type of paint did you use on the upper portion? John

Doesnt hold up as well as I anticipated Driect sunlight made it wrinkle up and peal off. Highpressure water peals it off also. Lost some when I washed it last time. I've noticed it pealing up in a lot of places in Archemitis interior also. Its weird tho becuase in most areas, where it did hang on, the stuff is really on there good. As suggested above I prolly should do more than one coat. Better prep work might have saved some of it too Peace
August 11, 200421 yr Cool, "92 Outback GL"!!!! LOL thats exaclty what I was thinking when I saw it !_!
August 12, 200421 yr Thats what I plan to do on my 80 brat. I plan on doing the the bed floor and the rear wells with the spray on rubber undercoating and then then some auto paint before I put the bed carpet back down. Is this a good idea?????
August 12, 200421 yr Dang near crapped myself tonight... I read this thread, then went out to put gas in my wife's car. Passed a Loyale with just about the same paint job, and wondered if you were located in Troy... nope. Ah, well. Anyhow, it looks great! When I pick up my next wagon, I planned on redoing the underside with POR-15, then spraying that rubber undercoating over it. Your paint job makes me wonder if I'll want to do that underbody treatment on the sides, too, much like yours.
August 12, 200421 yr :cool: what a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeete job you did.... can i ask you were you bought that bed liner paint????? sparkster
August 12, 200421 yr I'm in the process of chipping out the rubbery/tar stuff they put in at the factory so I can "Speedline" the interior of my hatch. What a pain!!! The guy I talk to said they "rough" the surface with 80 grit. He said the best prep is a light sand blast, which I may do. I had the same experience with the rubberized under coating, didn't last a whole summer on my truck. Later, Tim
August 12, 200421 yr Which brand did you go with?? I am going to try Herculiner in my GL and BRAT (rockers and floorboards) To those who have done floorboards... is it really worth chipping out all that tar sheeting stuff? Like, do you have to?

Its weird tho becuase in most areas, where it did hang on, the stuff is really on there good. As suggested above I prolly should do more than one coat. Better prep work might have saved some of it too Peace Thats true. The rubberized stuff sometimes causes a chemical reaction when applied over painted surfaces. Seems to work best on bare metal, or places previously undercoated. The truck bed paint is epoxy-based, I believe. John
August 12, 200421 yr I don't know if you want to sandblast the interior of your car... I helped my brother do that to his 1965 plymouth valiant a couple summers ago, and unless you plan on literally removing every part in the inside of your car, it's not worth it, buy a power sander.... there is STILL sand coming out of weird spots in that car when you drive down the road.. and oh yeah, that tar stuff on the floorboards of factory subes is horrible... I had the best luck with a 3/4" grinder with a bigass wire wheel to get it out of my xt6
