My buddy and I just repainted the sole of his Snow Goose with a roll on version of the spray-in bedliners that are popular around here for pick up trucks. It came out great, is fairly non-skid and from my experience with my truck, should be durable. Only problem is it's black, though after a couple of uses getting mud and debris this is not bad, but I thought I read a post a while back about a camo color bed liner paint. Looking on the internet I found grey, black red and blue. Could I add a little green or brown to the grey bedliner paint. I don't know if it's oil based or what? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John
 
The bed liners are a solvent based polymer so you would need to check with an auto paint shop and see what they would recommend for a dye/colorant that is compatible with that type of material. Or get some plastic paint from ACE and have a spray party. It will wear off fast though.

I am planning on taking out the carpet of my Toyota (14 years of being damp) and using Herculiner. Have to wait until summer since we are now in winter here. How long till your paint on stuff cured?
 
I just sprayed in a Rattleguard bedliner in my Godevil SD boat. It was supposed to be camo green. Brightest camo green I've ever seen. I just sprayed it with HS Specialties olive drab and camoed it. It's held up great so far. Color hasn't faded or come off with all the mud and grime.

I've used the rattleguard with great success in all of the boats I've built and even sprayed a couple of aluminum boats. While I use mostly black I did do a grey and a tan. With the colored liner you don't use the rubber because it changes the tint. I however, like the build better with the rubber in it so I went ahead and used the rubber with the tan, came out kind of olive colored. Also you can simply pick up a 1/2 pint of automotive tint to your liking for the rattleguard.

Thanks guys, I think the stuff Craig linked is just what I'm look for. This forum is the best as everyone is a duck hunter and knows what I'm talking about and what works in real duck hunting.

I would stay away from the tough coat, have heard too many horror stories from adhesion and have personally seen what they call olive :-P Another product you might want to look at is Grizzly Grip. I've used it on the decks of several boats because its easy to use in smaller quantities. Variety of colors and a rubbery texture.

Thanks Brad, timely post, I was just going to order the Cabella's Tuff Cote today. I prefer something I can roll on in the garage, my compressor is too small to do the Rattleguard. I'll check out the Grizzly Grip link you have.

I used a rubbery bed liner to spray my aluminum alice pack frame I use big game hunting. It doesn't rattle, or make metallic sounds against brush now, and no shine. It added a little weight though, and needs touch up once in a while.
