Calculating How Much Bed Liner Is Required<\/h1>\n

For the bed of a pickup truck <\/b>or any item<\/i><\/b> to be coated, four issues matter:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Amount of actual \u201cspray-able liquid\u201d,<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. Qualities of the liquid,<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. The application method,<\/b><\/li>\n
  4. Final price of product, system or service. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Although there are coatings for \u201cgeneral\u201d applications there are also specific coatings for exacting requirements. So for a successful Pickup Truck Bed Lining, requirements include very high strength and a slip-proof texture; other issues like UV stability for long term protection and color should be obvious. Specific application, i.e. spray-on technique may also differ; no bedliner of any quality is ever rolled.<\/b><\/p>\n

    When deciding on what product and\/or application professional to use, while certain qualities should be clearly stated, printed or displayed, the actual amount of sprayable liquid can be seemingly unclear. In USA this amount translates directly to the thickness known as \u201cmil height\u201d (thousandths of an inch which may be in millimeters in Canada). Mil height is measured with a mil gauge, or you\u2019d simply grab a thick needle with pliers and push the needle through the liner until it hits the metal bed, mark the needle to measure that distance.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

    This article sheds light on this grey area, of the actual, sprayable liquid required for a given spray-on bed lining to function correctly. <\/b><\/p>\n

    ACTUAL COATINGS COVERAGE FORMULA: 1 gallon covers 1,604 sq ft at 1 mil high. A mil = 1\/1,000 of an inch.<\/b><\/p>\n
