Carpet or rhino liners for coffin?
- Thread starter MADNESS

Just have them well sanded and clean. If you removed carpet, you will want to get as much adhesive off as possible. Even with the texture of the coating, you will see inset screws and blemishes from glue, etc. Sand 'em like you are going to paint them. Wipe them down and make sure they are dry so it cures like it is supposed to. You can at any time add another coat, so don't worry about making it terribly thick the first time over.
I'm referring to the bedliner material; it's available at automotive stores and usually you can buy a kit that includes the spray gun with your first batch. You can not interchange your normal air paint gun for the bedliner one, so if you have one currently, you still will be buying the gun.

The LineX and Rhino Liner material Urathane mixes require specialty mixing and spraying gear and coat to 1/8" thick in one application. There are also epoxy paints that work well also (but even more expensive to purchase).
However there is a latex based material that can be sprayed with a simple textured wall or ceiling hopper gun that holds up fairly well on wood! But takes a lot longer to cure.
Although personally if I were doing speaker or road boxes I I would go with the urathane material. If you already have the air compressor, 2 air dryers, then you will have lowered the startup cost for the system some. All you would need is the two material drums and heaters for each, the line heaters, metering valves, solvent tank and lines, and the gun itself this should lower the application system cost to about $4000! Then of course you will need the vacuum paint booth, air filters, supplied air PBA and a few other odds and ends. So for around $40,000 you should be set to go!
Now $300 doesn't look so bad does it? LOL

OK I may be trying to be cheap, but I found some that it in a spray can, like spray paint? Worth a shot or no. I was going to buy a can and try it out to see what it came out like.

Wake up Steve! I already posted that in Post #2 in this thread! Too much eggnog? LOLOLOL
yeah, Steve, my landlord has one of those machines, its a graco spray rig. This stuff hardens in as little as 8 seconds it is amazing! and then is ready to for heavy duty traffic after 2 hours (for the industrial polyurea)
Travis Travis! I need pricing. I have 4 JBL Bins to do 24x24x40. PM me or something.
Madness,
The Herculiner will work just fine. That is the same stuff i coated my subs with. I bought a full gallon, think it was $80. came with a textured roller, and a stir stick..
I didn't thin mine out, and the texture is rather rough, (Thinning out and more coats will cure this) I rolled on 2 heavy coats, and then added more material around the corners and edges...
It's been 1.5 years of hard use, and the corners are just starting to wear through now, But a 5 min job with a paint brush will have them looking new again.
I'm very happy with the finish on my boxes, The local bedliner guys wanted a fortune to spray them also......
If i was going to spray Herculiner, I'd thin it 10% with Acetone and use a undercoating gun to apply it
