Fender Flare Arches done in Rust-Oleum Truck Bed Liner Great Finish!
Hello all,
- After a lot of research and testing from me. I decided to use spray on Rust-Oleum Truck bed liner on my wheel fender arches. I snuck over to the Jeep forums to monitor what did and did not work with spray on truck bed liner. Seems that Plastikote, & Duplicolor did not wear that well. Reports were that Plastikote peeled off in sheets after a short time. Rustolium worked well and was easily sprayed over for quick repairs.
- I tested a few small projects on plastic parts using Duplicolor adhesion promoter. I also used Krylon Universal paint as a base coat before the truck bed liner. It all seemed to adhere well.
- This past Wednesday on my working vacation I totally masked off my entire Rover taking almost 2 hours. I know all the work is in the prep. And used about 4.5 cans of Rust-Oleum Truck bed liner. I had about 30% humidity and about 75 degrees in WI at my folks summer house. I sprayed each coat about every hour on the hour, with 3 passes. Probably about over 8-10 coats +. It goes on thin because it is a spray can. See my pictures below.
- The truck bed liner leaves a textured surface that is durable and will not rip off your skin if you brush against it. Its not as abrasive as Hurculiner from what I have seen. It still is somewhat abrasive. I hope it will dull over time. Now I am search auto paint stores to fine a UV spray on protect-ant to slow this from graying out over time.
- Next is my rear ladder since the powder coat is bubbling and starting rust underneath.

Ok 03discoman,
I checked that HERCULINER UV topcoat out. It looks good except I don't want it to be shiny/glossy. I like how this Rustoleum is satin/flat. So I will do it if that is all that is out there. There has to be a satin UV protect-ant that I can spray on. I would not be happy if this grayed in 3 months...I called rustoleum and they said it should stay black for about 2 years or more.

Bedliner works great too, but paint looks just like stock. It comes down to what you like better.
