How Do You Spray a Rustoleum Truck Bed Liner?

Spraying a truck bed liner with Rust-Oleum is a great way to protect your truck from wear and tear, rust, and corrosion. It also provides a great look to your truck while providing an extra layer of protection. The process of spraying a truck bed liner with Rust-Oleum is relatively simple and straightforward; however, there are some important steps you should take to ensure that the job is done properly.

The first step in spraying a truck bed liner with Rust-Oleum is to make sure the surface is completely clean. Any dirt, rust, or corrosion should be removed from the surface before applying the spray. Use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove any debris or dirt from the surface before applying the spray.

Once the surface is clean, it’s time to apply the Rust-Oleum. Start by shaking the can vigorously for two minutes before spraying.

Then hold the can approximately 8 inches away from the surface and spray in even strokes back and forth across the entire bed liner area. Allow each coat of paint to dry for at least four hours before adding another coat.

It’s important to note that Rust-Oleum can be sensitive to moisture and temperature changes so it’s best to apply it in a dry climate with temperatures between 50°F – 95°F (10°C – 35°C).

Finally, once all coats have been applied and have dried completely, you may need to add some clearcoat for extra protection and shine. Apply several thin coats of clearcoat using long, even strokes until you achieve your desired finish.

In conclusion, spraying a truck bed liner with Rust-Oleum is relatively easy but requires patience and precision to get it right. Make sure you start by cleaning and prepping the surface properly before beginning the application process. And finally, don’t forget to add multiple coats of paint as well as clearcoat for extra protection.
