bedliner?

[kjcmetal]

i was thinking about using spray on bedliner on my kat. i want it to be black and super resilient and i think the textured look would be cool too. my question to yall is can it ever be removed? if so how? i don't want to paint it, not like it and have to live with it FOREVER. im guessing a ton of sanding and maybe some paint stripper? oh and is it safe for use on plastics? i was thinking about painting it again this weekend cause the cheap flat black on the tank has spots where the gasss has eaten through and shows the hideous stock purple color! ick...

I read about someone having his plastics covered in Line-X... but I'm guessing there's very little chance you'll get it back off.

I have used box liners for a lot of different things, including sealing old rivitted aluminum boats, even painted parts of a tricked out CJ7. Works great, as far as painting a motorcycle....probably the worst idea ever in my opinion. Once you spray the plastics they will never be the same again, you'd have to use a high speed grinder to get the liner off, they'd be better off in the trash. To each their own I suppose, its your ride!

Yea whatever you do try to not use the spray can, it is very streaky. I use dupli color in the roll on type can. It's not to expensive I use it when I build speaker boxes for ppl and it works great on any surface. Air craft stripper may be the only thing that could take it off. But I would just have another set of fairings handy if you ever get tired of it. Because Like it has been said it will pretty much ruin you chances of having a good paint job on body work in the future.

Isn't bedliner usually rough? It seems like it would be uncomfortable to have between your legs. Kind of like sand in your shorts at the beach.

It is but they do make a smooth version without the rubber grains in it.

Aircraft or automotive paint stripper- even urethane bumper stripper- will leave pits in the plastic, or worse. Trust me on this...

I remember someone on here used dupli color in a flat black. It looked very similar to bed liner, without all the hassle if you wanted to remove it.

Edit: YES, I found it!

It was Waltari's bike: http://katriders.com/vb/showpost.php...0&postcount=10
