I have my under cab floor epoxied (3 coats 24 hours between coats). Its in my booth drying at 100 degrees for 24 hours. I will be doing seam sealer work tomorrow or the next day and SPI Bedliner the following day using the Bedliner gun I got from SPI.
I read all the posts under the Bedliner Forum but still feel intimidated on exactly how to spray the material. I have used a texture gun for spraying sheet rock texture, but I can not imagine doing the same thing on something as small as a truck cab floor. The truck cab is sitting on its back so I will be spraying a vertical surface. I read the tech manual and it suggests setting the fluiid tip to about 75% and 40-50 lbs air pressure.
Do you hold the gun at a right angle to the surface your spraying (similar to a spray gun spraying paint)?
What distance do you maintain from the surface?
Tech Manual (Masking the truck) states, "Areas where the bedliner will overlap the tape, the following procedure works best. Outline with 3/4" masking tape and paper, then lay another piece of tape over the first tape leaving a 2" extra at end curled up. As soon as you are done spraying the bedliner you can pull the curl and the top layer of tape will be removed leaving the first layer until the liner is dry. This will leave a very nice looking edge with out the cost of buying wire tape". How does this work differently than just using a single piece of tape? Im guessing it removes any additional coats of bedliner leaving behind a very thin coat that will leave a nice line when removing the single piece of tape?
In the Tech Manual, it says spray epoxy, wait one day, then spray bedliner. Is waiting one day or seven days the same result?
Someone should do a video of shooting SPI Bedliner, that would be awesome to watch it in progress.
