Bedliner

[Rryals]

a few months ago I bed lined my plastics, but now it is starting to flake and looks like crap. Anyone know the best way to remove it?

Power wash off what you can first, then get some steel wool and paint remover/solvent and scrub away. I learned all this the hard way, because mine was flaking bad too because I didn't prep the surfaces properly for painting.

Well I paint cabinets when I'm not in school. So I sanded and cleaned them all first. They just seem to not hold up well

Odd that you had that issue. I bedlined my stuff 2 years ago and it only has nicks/scrapes from wheeling. I figured I would just do it post WENT. All I did was clean the plastics with acetone...never even sanded.

I never had any trouble out of mine neither, mines been on the truck for 3+ yrs and just now finally starting to show some Knicks and chips. But then again I did use 40 grit sandpaper on mine lol. Plus the usually wash with soap and wipe down with acetone.

What kind of bed liner did you use?

I used the Rustoleum spray on, and I admit I only did the soap and water wash but no acetone wipe down. Mine lasted maybe a year, and I probably didn't spray it on thick enough. I was going to try and get my plastics as close to original as possible before spraying them with Krylon Fusion

Rusto truck bed is the same thing I used on mine. I think mine has held up so good because I had to use a ton of it to cover up the damage the 40 grit did to the plastics.

I did somewhere between 3-5 coats, and I did use self etching primer - I did forget that until I was looking at some pics yesterday

I used 80 grit but no primer. I'm just going to try and get it all of and paint it black

I used Duplicator in the spraycan. I did everything. Bumpers,grill, sidetrim, all the bars, and wind deflector. 6 to 8 cans I think. 2 years no fading or chipping. I cleaned with acetone with no sanding.
