Stomp77 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 We are building a banshee and want the frame, swing arm, ect... black. The frame i have is silver and the paint is worn out. Naturally I headed to the local powder-coater, but he can't get to me for weeks. I was sitting here bummin' then i had this idea to call about the professional spray on rhino liner stuff. For truck beds that stuff is just awesome. Why not banshee's? We abuse the crap out of that stuff at work and it never shows a scuff or scratch. The herculiner DIY stuff looks OK, There is also the duplicolor brush on DIY kit, and this stuff called 'what a liner'. And of course the real deal stuff thats professionally sprayed on. I ride in the mountains and the conditions here are brutal. A new paint job does not last long, hence the need for powder coat, but a pro quality install of rhino liner may be cheaper faster and last longer? The do it yourself stuff is super cheap, and does not look hard to apply. Of course typically you get what you pay for.... Has anybody actually ever used this stuff for there trucks, trailers, ect..... Am i wasting my time? I dunno, i think this might work out great any info or opinions appreciated!!!!!

wesw Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 i would suggest line-x over rhino liner but thats just me. yeah it would be tough as shit adn dent resistent as hell but man ugly and probably heavier than crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris642 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 someone on here did it already, i forget who though. They said it turned out great and they were able to drag the frame across the parking lot and not show a single scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepman380 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I would suggest getting Line-X over Rhino Lining also. I've used Herculiner on my Jeep side steps and it worked great. I was very pleased with how it came out. I beat them with a hammer just to test them out and didn't even put a dent nor a scratch on them.

frocashmoney24 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 i pondered the idea also, i think i'd look/hold up good, plus it would be cheaper, but you have to remember, once that shits onthere, i dont think ur gonna get it off.

JARE77 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I know guys with both Line-x and Rhino liners,The line-x are far supperior in my opinion and they even look nicer I think anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gargamel Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 someone on here did it already, i forget who though. They said it turned out great and they were able to drag the frame across the parking lot and not show a single scratch. 368155[/snapback] That was me. It worked great. Does add some weight but is super tough. The only thing I suggest is to get it sandblasted first, cause I just tried to save money and wire brush it. Where the brush couldn't get into the coating didn't stick real good, but the main of it you can't get it off tring!! Worked great for me and been riding it for a few months and it's holding up great. The only thing I don't like about it is that when it gets dirty it is harder to clean. I found that a toilet brush and pressure washer does a good job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
