I figured I would roll the bedliner on because a lot of guys have asked about wether or not it was able to be rolled.
What I found is the pot life is just what Al's states, 20 minutes and not much more. Only mix what you are going to be able to use within that 20 minutes or you will end up throwing a half gallon out like I did.
Within the first 5 minutes the product is very thin and does not provide a lot of coverage. After that 5 minute setup it really starts to lay on and cover up. I was able to do 2 coats within minutes over the top of each other without a problem and coverage was great.
I was only able to get about 3/4 of the bed done before my mix had hardened up. On my second try I only mixed a half gallon to finish what I had left to do. Total use was only 1 gallon of product to put down 2 coats on the inside of the bed and the inside if the tailgate.
One other big question I've been getting is color availability. I did not use the black tint supplied by Al's. I instead added some left over color from when I painted the truck. It is a near perfect match as seen in one of the pictures. Al's can be color matched to any factory color you have.
On with the pictures.
This is how it started out after cleaning everything out of it.
After a good 2 hours of grinding, all that is needed to get the liner to adhere.
All taped up. The plastic is needed to keep the overspray of the primer off the paint of the truck.
End result.
Color match is excellent.
So overall I am very happy with the final outcome and won't hesitate to use it again in the future. I had about a total of 5 hours wrapped up in it today from start to finish.
LOL, well I didn't have any left over paint cups so I cut the top off a Pepsi can, washed it out and walla, I had a new paint cup. I added 2 cans of Pepsi per gallon of product. Thanks Mark.
