July, 2003.
Every day we see the damage that
drop-in liners can do. When a customer came in this month with an
eight year old truck, we were floored to see what was underneath. On
the outside, a beautiful truck in great condition. On the inside of
the bed, it was a totally different story.
 |
Rather than getting a whole new
bed and trying to repaint the truck to the original specs, our
customer opted to have the bed sandblasted. Once down to bare
metal, he added fiberglass to fill the holes and even the
surface. |
Please read important information
about repairing the truck bed at the end of this page before
attempting any repairs yourself.
| We do not
recommend using fiberglass, it was the best solution for this
truck. |

After fiberglassing
and applying a Line-X bedliner
This is the worst case scenario, but
it can happen. In most cases, we find minimal damage under the
drop-in liner - but you should be aware of what can happen over
time.
If you have a drop in plastic liner,
most manufactures recommend removing it once a year or more to clean
out debris and inspect for damage. Check with your manufacture to
see how often you should remove and clean your liner. If you have
any damage at all, please let us look at it before doing any
repairs yourself.
We will be happy to give you a free
inspection. Most of the time there is no additional charge for light
rust removal. If you need repair work before we can spray the liner in,
we will tell you what kinds of materials to use to get the best
result when we spray Line-X in the bed. If you need sand blasting,
body work, or repairs, we will refer you to a company that knows how
to prepare a truck bed for a spray-in liner.
Important: Don't use any rust
inhibitors, primers, paints, etc. It's possible we will have you
remove these products before we can spray your truck. Check
with us first; it might save you some time, money, and effort.
