Roll on Bed Liner Kits - Mistakes People Make

Roll on bed liner kits are a cheap way to improve the looks of an older truck . Why choose a roll on liner over a professional spray on version? Easy... It's far cheaper. But the installation is still quite simple. Even though it's simple, there are several mistakes you can make with the installation. Here are a few of those...

1. Not getting enough paint.

A full size pickup takes about 5 quarts of paint to get good coverage. So get an extra quart. One gallon isn't enough for most truck s.

2. Not cleaning first.

Any kind of painting calls for cleaning first. Painting on a bed liner is no exception. Here's why it's so important. Paint will not stick for long over either old wax or grease. that wax or grease has to be removed or the coating will peel, fast. So, a good cleaning is step 1. Make sure you know what kind of cleaner to use.

3. Spending too much time sanding.

That's because you want a really rough surface to get the best sticking. You don't want or need a smooth surface. So really scratch the paint where you'll be applying the bed liner coating. Use really coarse sandpaper or better yet, a really coarse abrasive pad.

4. Not getting the color you want.

See, don't settle for black if you want another color to match your truck . Pick the Herculiner bed liner kit and you can also get white, red or gray. So get the color you want, instead of settling for black.

A roll on bed liner is a fast, simple way to get a better looking truck without spending much money at all. It takes some work, but the work is simple and doesn't take very long. Avoid these mistakes and get the job done right.
