Tom, where is this magical junk yard full of Land Rover parts? You always seem to have the hook up.

After the sand blast coat with some etching primer, then shoot it with some under body coating. If you paint just make sure you use a couple good coats and clear coat it. For a full size rack try to find a friend with a paint booth and real auto paints.

Bcbp this was on disco web yards I go to are in va.

Does the rustolium bed liner hold up? Want something that won't scratch or rub off, like yesterday I moved a ladder on it and surly I messed up the powdercoat

The ladders original powder coat is crap. A good quality powder coat job is extremely durable. I painted my ladder with rustoleum bed liner and it's holding up pretty well

I've had good luck with the rustoleum and dupli color bed liner. It holds up well and is easy to touch up.

I've used the Dupli-color on brushbars many times with very good results. Follow the prep instructions and you're good.
Another good thing is if you do light coats you don't get that heavy "line-x" look.


This is the stuff(you can get it at autozone, advance...)

Yeah I sprayed my Rover floors with the rustolium bed liner guess I can pull carpets and see how it is holding up, I like the rougher look of line x my brother has his sliders coated( done when he bought it)
