I'm currently restoring a Myco I picked up cheap. The bunk mounts and the box tubing holding them is fairly pitted in some spots but nothing structurally compromising. My Myco is C channel construction, not box tube like some are. I was considering having the crossmembers, bunk mounts, and inside of the C channel sprayed in color matched bedliner, then base/clear the outside of the rails, hitch area, etc. I was thinking the bedliner would make it a lot easier to disguise some of the pitting and may hold up better to rock chipping on the crossmembers like a lot of painted trailers do. Opinions? Am I being a half a$$ hack?

Bed liner is only good in a truck bed. Just trust me.

Skater out sourced the arms on their tilt trailers to have them rhino lined. They looked great. I have no idea how well it will last but in my area they commonly spray entire jeeps and trucks for off road use.

I use it on the sides of dump trucks so they don't chip when getting loaded with gravel and it holds up really well.

Ive thought about it too , I don`t see why not

I have my bumpers, bumper guard, and nerf bars done on my dually. Personally, I like the look.

I have a "Scorpion" brand liner sprayed in my truck bed. I hate it. It has not held up to my minimal-average use of said truck. I'll never buy that brand again even for "decorative" purposes. I have the Leonard Truck brand on my parts described above and it's done fine.

For your application, I'd only go with Linex. It's absolutely the strongest and longest lasting one I have seen.

^^^^ I see no problem with spraying Line-X on the parts you listed.

I had the channels and underside of a 26' enclosed and the channels/ inside of the fenders of the landscape trailer Line-X in 2008 --powerwash and it still looks great.

The landscape (UTV) trailer was a previously enjoyed steel frame that had surface scale/pitted that I rebuilt as new. I had the trailer frame blasted/cleaned and taken directly to the Line X shop and sprayed immediately - like everything the base prep accounts for the finished product.

Anything you do not want covered in liner - double wrap it. For a surface coating it can be a S.O.B to get out of spring mounts - LOL. Just an oversight...

We only use Line X for what its worth - have seen alot of other bed liner products but not as many satisfied customers as with Line X!

Sir you should check out SEM Products Rock-It liner. Have been using it on similar applications with great results. They have a Tintable kit that comes with 4 short filled bottles of product 1 bottle of catalyst and then just add toner to your liking. It's not as rough as most spray in liner materials, but more texture than say a rocker panel schutz.

I jumped into the coating business last year. If the prep work is done correctly and the application is done with a high pressure/high temp machine do it. Everyone reconzies Line X because that is the equipment they use in all their stores. The prep, spray machine, and quality of chemicals is everything.

With that being said, the coating will look better than pits, but will not feel them in smooth like a bondo. I plan on doing it to my trailer, and would not hesitate if you have some one around you that sprays with a high pressure machine. I will post some pics for your viewing pleasure if you like you can PM me your phone number if you have anymore detailed questions. Tom
