Rhyno Liner?

This may be really out tehre, but being a motorcycle enthusiast as well, I saw a Harley with that spray on bed liner stuff as a paint job.

Maybe I'm crazy, but being that my color is completly gone on my 'mate, would it be to far fetched to use this stuff on a boat, topside only. The only reason I would consider this is my cousin has a shop where he sprays this stuff.
 
I think its alot heavier than paint and almost as much

But on the upside you dont have to worry about sand on
the deck or the anchor

Say what?

:eek: :brickwall: :eyecrazy: :shakehead: :eek: Its your boat, do what you need to do. But remember you may want to sell that boat someday.

I think it might be a cool idea for a FLOOR.
 
I rebuilt some of the seats wood structure on my starliner, and i used a rhino liner comparable product that i bought at the auto store. comes in a can, you can either brush it on ( its real thick like pudding) or thin it out and spray it. Works great for me I hate messing with fiberglass and mixing catalysts etc etc.
 
When I replace the built in boxes (in the engine compartment) in my Diplomat I glasssed them in and then applied Herculiner on top of the fiberglass. I'm really happy how it turned out.....very durable. I also applied it to the inside of my bowseats. The stuff is impossible to chip.

I don't think I would paint my boat with it though.....I think it would look bad.............but that's just my opinion
 
We put spray in liners in the trucks we sell and it is great stuff! the only thing is it is bumpy and sand and dirt gets in the bumps and in time it will look dirty! you now an get it colored to match and they put a clear uv protector on which will help. but thier is little shine over time and it my look dull? but it would be awsome for durability! thanks I think it would be better for interior that exterior?
 
rino-liner

I'll have to remember this when I go to re-work my floor in my tri-mate, that is a cool idea, I've been busy with life this year and 2007 is time for change, I'm going to be relocateing to Baton Rouge LO. I met a great gal that loves to work on cars, boats, trucks just as much as me, when I get out there I'm opening my boat business ( there is a 2 yr back log of people needing their boats repaired from Catrenia still ) I'm gonna be one busy dude lol I'm gonna love it finally going self-employed
 
If you use black for your color you will be able to cook hotdogs and buns on your boat while swimming in the summer heat. I would do a lite wet sandding and shoot a little clear on it. That will get you threw another summer without spending alot of money.

Rhino Liner

I have had my larson Senza since 1995. The previous owner applied this on the top deck behing the back seats so skiers getting in and out if the boat would not slip. It has not cracked or faded in 12 years and looks pretty good.

Very good safety feature
