datzenmike Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Well don't forget, the bed liner is sticking to the primer, not the bed itself. How well does the primer hold to the bed? Not saying this is the case but could be like painting on grease. What does the bed liner maker suggest? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 they say to just scuff it a little and paint it but thats for painted beds not bare metal Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have done rustoleum primer and enamel on my floors and it is holding up very well. I don't really care about sound deadening though, so this may not be the best route to go if you want to quiet things down at all. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 i dont care about sound deadening either the car is no longer a daily and is to basicly be my hot rod so so long as the floors stay solid i dont care i only wanted to go bed liner is so that its more of a durable finish and at a quick glance looked like carpet Quote Link to comment

Not saying this is the case but could be like painting on grease. What does the bed liner maker suggest? Yeah I would think that bed liner would have to be applied to metal, not primer. I think the primer would eventually peel up, while the bedliner touching the metal would adhere better. It'd be best to double check. B) Quote Link to comment
opalbeetle Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I was wondering if you had a picture or pictures of what the floor looks like. Quote Link to comment

DaveSpecB210 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm interested in how this turns out. I'll be doing my floors sometime this year (and probly wheel wells). My windows are in desperate need of new seals. Currently I only have one tiny hole to fix (front passenger), but the driver rear collects a good bit of water from the window. I was thinking of using POR15 or whatever. You mentioned that earlier. But I may go the route you are instead since I may just run with little to no carpet. All that's in there now is floor mats.

bonvo Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Only reason i didnt go por 15 is because the shit is spendy and doesnt go very far Quote Link to comment
