NickMc Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm building a 110 Double cab up out of a rolled td5 and i want to coat the rear bed, internal floors and footwells in something a bit tougher and harder wearing than paint and not smelly wet carpet syndrome. I also like the thought of the sound deadening properties. There seems to be a load on the market: Protectakote U-pol Rator Hyperliner Dupli-Color Has anyone had any success with any of them? I did look into getting it done professionally, but the price is over the odds for what your getting and i'd rather buy a few more toys.

trax Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've not used them, but google for terms like 'spray bedliner' . rhino and line-x are other brands amongst tons of others. Seems some use polyurethane or mixes. Let me know the cost! It's either this or stable mats for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMc Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm tempted by the U-pol raptor stuff the applicator seems very similar to the waxoyl gun at around £12 where as the linex system needs a special system. It's coming in at about £60 for 4x750ml and 1l hardener plus it's tintable which is a bonus! Considering a genuine rear mat is about £140 i think it seems good value.

trax Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 love it how people have sprayed the outside of their cars with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewb Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've used the Upol Raptor product both the black finish and the one that you can tint with your own colour. Both are excellent and as it is a 2 pack product if you are painting outside you can used another of their products called rocket to dry it even quicker. Very easy to apply just use a standard undersell gun. When my rear tub was off the chassis rather than underseal the underside I used Raptor and tinted it in the same colour as the body, still looks good 1 year later.

NickMc Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've used U-pol stuff before and it's normally good which is pointing me that direction. U-pol rocket hardener is the absolute dogs wassits! How did you find the coverage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewb Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Coverage was very good I gave my old pick up two coats in fairly quick succession. I also used fast hardener and had the benefit of using a booth, with a quick 30 min bake it was done and out on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris113 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nick did you get any further with this? I'm currently looking at doing something similar to my 90 for the rear tub and footwells. Thanks, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMc Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've bought it, but not used it yet. Ive two Defenders to paint before I get near mine. A few people I know in the trade have used it with good results. It's like anything with painting the better the prep the better the finish.

Guest Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I have used protectakote in the trailer and have been very impressed with how it held up simple application and very hard wearing. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fandrover Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Surprised to see this thread as I ordered some of the Upol Raptor just two days ago!

If anyone is interested I'll search out the companies details Will post the results/photos when done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW8IZR Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi, I'd be interested as well. I take it this is a 2K product ?.. is it properly fuel spill proof? Regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fandrover Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi Guys I'm not sure if links to business sites are allowed so if I've broken a rule please let me know and I will edit appropriately http://store.aircooledandclassics.co.uk/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=30873 HOWEVER!!!!! Since I've placed the order and paid I havent received either a conformation email or delivery date? So I would suggest that people wait until I actually receive the item just in case its a questionable website..... I will update asap as I have messaged them this morning Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fandrover Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 OK.... update long time coming! Well no reply to my message, no sign of paint..... about to claim money back from paypal and then Friday morning it all turned up! All looks good and at half price it seems a great deal, just don't expect any communications or a fast delivery! Now I need some good weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMc Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 That's a good price when I priced it it was between £55-80 depending on if it was tintable or not. I struggled to get it in two pack seems to be 1 pack now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren_T Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi Nick, i've used protecta coat for the footwells on my bulkhead both inside and up into the engine bay the inside is covered with a wright off-road mat so not subject to wear but it seals the seams very well, it's been very hard wearing on the outer footwells also I've also had the rear tub and bulkhead sprayed with line-x, just wish i had done the bulkhead and floor plates with it also. regards all Gren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fandrover Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I checked the instructions/details and it certainly states that its 2K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
