88pathoffroad Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Sure, people paint fenders and stuff with that all the time. Just clean, dry and scuff-sand the surface first, then put on the Herculiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I have used it before int he bed of my pick up truck..good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 That's some tough stuff. People use it for coating the interiors of Jeeps and stuff too. I've seen it in use and its very durable. I've heard that prep work is half the battle. Make sure you do a good surface scuff and run over with some alcohol or cleaner to remove any wax, grease, tar, etc. Then you should be good to go.

vengeful Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 run over with some alcohol or cleaner to remove any wax, grease, tar, etc. Then you should be good to go. You absolutely DO NOT want to use alcohol to clean it prior to applying Herculiner. The Herculiner will not bond to the surface after it has been cleaned with a product containing ammonia or alcohol. They recommend using Xylene, but Acetone works as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth1 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 So you don't need to use primer first? That's good to know, I'm hoping to ditch my carpet and use that stuff this summer. Would a solvent like mineral spirits work to prep with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
