A spray-in bedliner is a coating that can be applied to\nthe inner area of a truck bed in order to prevent it from damage such as\ndenting and scratching.<\/strong> In addition, it can create skid-resistant surface\nthat allows cargo to stay in place, but this latter element depends on specific\ncircumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two main categories of bedliners for pickups: in addition to the above-mentioned \u201cspray-on\/in\u201d type, there\u2019s another kind known as \u201cdrop-in.\u201d For this post, we\u2019re going to be focusing on the former. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait: is it spray-on, or spray-in?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Glad you asked. There\u2019s actually a multitude of names for\nthis device that are used interchangeably in the industry. In addition to the\n\u201cspray-on\u201d and \u201cspray-in\u201d we\u2019ve been batting around, they can also be called\n\u201csprayed-in\u201d and \u201csprayed-on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How should a spray-on bedliner be applied to a pickup bed? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A big factor affecting the performance of a spray-in\nbedliner is how effectively the initial application is performed. Before\napplying the spray, the surface of the bed should be specially prepared to\nallow the coating to adhere correctly. The better this coating adheres\ndetermines how long it will last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spray-in bedliners can be applied by roller, low pressure,\nor cartridge driven by an air compressor or high-pressure machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the application is such a touchy procedure, is should be performed by a professional applicator who has the requisite training and experience<\/a>. This applicator should follow the proper process and deliver a smooth, even surface. This will allow the sprayed-in bedliner to bond permanently and prevent bubbling, even in extreme weather. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What types of spray-in bedliners are there?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lot. A wide variety of formulations and process methods\nfor spray-on bedliners result in a multitude of categories. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • High or low pressure<\/li>
  • Aromatic or aliphatic<\/li>
  • Polyurea or polyurethane<\/li>
  • Hybrid and solvent base<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    What are the benefits of a spray-in bedliner?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When correctly applied, a spray-in bedliner will resist\ndenting and scratching to the bed of your pick-up. It should firmly keep its\nshape, yet stay flexible enough not to crack when navigating rough terrain. It\nwill also absorb vibration to protect cargo. Polyurethane coatings prevent\ndamage from scratching and from most chemicals, and should therefore avoid\nrusting. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
