    Inner Wheel wells.....rhino line?

     



    Thought I'd ask before we actually went through with it. What do you guys think about painting the inner wheel houses with Rhino liner? I doubt I'll have to do anything to them again so I'm not real worried about removing it after its done. The only other thing.....I remember something back when I was in to dragracing.....leaving an edge for rain to sheet away....or something. Shouldnt be a problem. This stuff is real rough....lots of bumps.

    Or should I just put on the silver bullet and a coat of the black?

    Thanks,
    David

    David, I haven't use Rhino liner, but I have used a 2 part urethane product on inner fenders, floors and other places I would normally use undercoating. I got the kind that you mix the texture in with the product prior to spraying and left the texture material (ground rubber) out for a smooth surface. I really like the way it turned out and it's wearing like iron. It washes off easily with a high pressure hose (car wash) and still looks good even after some miles on gravel roads.

    In my opinion it definately beats paint or traditional under coating. I'm not sure aobut the leaving an edge for water run off, to me it would seem the smoother it is the better the water will run off. I never thought about getting it off, but I think it would be a real PIA.

    I use bedliner on the wheel wells of some of the cars I build that are going to be drivers.... Helps with quieting things down and especially on 'glass fenders it makes the fenders a lot less susceptible to star cracks and other damage from rocks!!!!

    Well...thats it. Yup. You guys talked me into it. I figured it would quiet things down and be tougher for gravel to eat it. I use to work for Kawasaki and the owner had a 1rst gen Bronco that he built as a full tilt rock crawler. He had rhino lined the entire rig...inside and out. At some point he had one of my friends doing fab work on it. He was trying to take the stuff off. Good grief that stuff is hard to get off. Ha ha.

    I think it would work great. I'd put the bolts in after it dries, though. May never get them back out!

    We sprayed the underside of Dan's rpu body with an epoxy bedliner (I forget which one) and had to use a special gun to shoot it. That stuff was all over the place when we got done, even on us ! But I think you could shoot it with a .45 and it wouldn't make a mark. Very tough stuff, and HEAVY!

    Don, your right when you say that stuff is heavy. That Bronco I was talking about was quite a bit heavier than factory form. I'd be lying if I threw a weight out there. I just cant remember but I remember it was crazy how much more it weighed.

    Mike P......wish you could remember what brand that was you used?? Or if you lead me to where you think you got it and I'll do a search.

    Shine.....I looked at that SPI stuff on SP's site and it looks like its similar to the Herculiner like I sprayed. Great stuff but I'm hoping to find some without the rough texture.

    I may try the Mostaliner. Claims UV protection and no rubber additive. Anyone ever used it?

    I can finally give an update on the liner we used for the wheel wells. Been in Little Rock all week for Metaswitch training.....looks like I'll be the VoIP provisioner for this area. Exciting.

    Dustin and I epoxy'd (DP90LF) the front and rear inner wheel wells and started rolling on the liner. We went with the Monstaliner brand due to the claimed UV protection yada yada. I can't express enough how much I like the texture with last coat. It literally looks like the same stuff I use to use out of a can....the undercoating stuff.....only this stuff is more or less permanent. I'll post a picture this weekend when I can. If their stuff holds up as promised I can say I really am impressed.

    David I'm sorry somehow I missed your Post...

    ".....Mike P......wish you could remember what brand that was you used?? Or if you lead me to where you think you got it and I'll do a search....."

    I know it's too late now, but this is the stuff I've been using, and will be using in the 37.
