Does anyone have experience with having your Sportsmobile painted with truck bed liner?
From what I have read it seems extremely durable and scratch resistant.
I also realize that it will add weight to the van, although I've been told a bed lined alone will add 50 lbs of weight. Given the average truck bed 6'x6' (roughly) that equates to 1.3 lbs per sqft. The average Ford van seems to have roughly 378 sq feet, and that equates to roughly 500 lbs additional weight.
I have been quoted $6.50-$7.00 per square foot.
Any info you could share would be appreciated.
Thanks
Seems to me it was around 130.00 for 4 quarts with the hardener. There is also additional for the tint color. I don't believe there was any special grades available. You can change the texture by how it's sprayed. I use and hvlp spray gun opposed to a shutz gun.
I realize this was a bit ago, but thought I'd post this in case it helps someone else who finds this thread looking for info on painting with Raptor Liner. I had exactly zero experience with painting vehicles and used U-Pol Raptor Liner to do a lower panel line all the way around my 2006 Ford E350 and it was surprisingly easy and I love how it looks. Video of the process (step-by-step in the description):
Lots of folks here have done it. I did my last van.
The word on the street about adding all that weight is a myth. A box of Raptor Liner weighs a few pounds, like 8 or so. It's one gallon of material. It might take two full kits to cover a van, or even if it was three that means 25 lbs., not hundreds. It's a great option.
