Just had my m416 sandblasted and looking into rhino lining, herculine, or some kind of tub protection, looking to hear of others experiences....been doing some research and can't seem to find any info on weather or not I should leave bare metal or prime tub before hand. Also I know herculiner is diy but is the cost savings worth the effort? Or should I spend the money on rhino? Any help would be great

 

I'd like to know for my m100

 

upol raptor liner and use their upol primer.

 

Ok, so I've made several calls to different herculiner and linex installers. Getting prices starting at $450 ending at $675. This is more than I was expecting especially since it's been sandblasted already. I use this thing....mulch, fill, dump runs etc... So I'm off to plan b. unfortunately with so many mixed reviews on the various DIY kits, I think I'm going to paint the tub and protect the floor with a solid rubber mat that can be rinsed. So here's the next ???. Paint and primer...any recommendations? Also the frame, was thinking por-15 but now that the frame is done there's nothing for it to stick to unless I leave it outside to rust up a little, but that just seems dumb.

 

I prepped & primed my bare metal bumper now will have 3 coats of bedliner id do 3 coats of etcing primer , so prob 6 cans at 4.50 a can will work well . Then bedline it 3 coats

other wise what ever you put on will flake off w/out etching primer I think .
