Has anyone tried using (truck) bed liner paint/finish on their frames ? I've seen it used on motorcycles,it gives the finish something between a hammered or kinda textured look. Definately would provide a "bullet proof" finish. Also comes in rattle can and colors other than black. If you've tried this, can you provide pics and a review / likes / dislikes...

I was thinking the same thing for a clunker.
bedliner sucks bad to use trust me . the results are nbot pretty or even cool ratified looking.
you want the textured paint do not use that bedliner stuff.
they sell tectured paint - actually ive used high temp engine tectured paint ( do not use the cheapo stuff though) on my motorcycles- works great.
por-15 is great stuff! thats a definate positive there.

only prob i see with the duplicolor bedliner stuff ias 1- it takes forever to settle and dry.
2- it doesnt give an even coverage flow unless you use alot more than 1 or 2 cans. takes a few times over to get that "just right" look.
itll work though.
but the best stuff for a texterured paint on the cheap is the high temp stuff- flows nicely gives even coat and when it drys its like a rock.
as soon as i can remembere the name of the paint ill post it...

only thing about por-15 is that it need to be over stuff thats really rusty(i knew a guy who did the floor pan on his car with it once....... sanded with 80 grit and all the proper steps but it failed because it wasnt rusty :shock: ) did a set of old steel exhaust manifolds once and they held up quite well even being driven every day for years

yes and it works great.

thats completely untrue. You can use POR-15 on brand new metal. I would wager money that your friend didn't prep the surface well enough, or left it dirty. if you buy a por-15 kit, it includes metalready and marinecleen (depending on what you're painting)
I speak from experience on restoring 6 cars and using 100's of dollars of por-15
he didnt use the metal prep(just had the black stuff)
this was also YEARS ago when i was in school learning how to do body work.......
who knows.....the only time i ever used it was to see if it would hold up to exhaust heat and it did
side note* the undercoating works great ive done lots of quarter panels,door shells,decklids and such never had any problems
