Rhino Line Remover (1 Viewer)

[johnkappus]

i know there have been a lot of questions regarding rhino liner / bedliner type products and how to remove it.

I was watching american hotrod and they dipped a body in an acid bath to remove all the paint etc. I'm wondering if that would work to take rhino liner off?

Anybody ever try it?

Brake fluid goes right through it.

I don not know about acid bath ,but I have used brake cleaner. Tried to use it to remove oil in the bed that had spilled and it actually took off my linner. Just an idea. Good luck.

Please keep us posted if you try either of those options. I have a tub full of rhino liner that I desperately want removed... and lets just say that a pair of pliers and a shop knife has made it no easy task!

GOOD LUCK!

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why are you removing the liner? I assume rust underneath? Or too heavy? Or something else... I am wondering because I am considering putting a liner inside my cruiser and want to know what the potential problems are.

I like the sprayed liners, but I put herculiner in my rig and I am not happy with it. It peals out to easily, plus it traps a lot of dirt in. I followed the directions and did a good job, but it just hasn't held up and been what I expected.

Are you talking specifically about Rhino Lining, or using it as a generic term for other bed lining products? Brake fluid has not fazed true Rhino Lining product properly applied.

I am removing mine because I am doing a full frame-off, and I want her to be as stock as possible.

I also want to be able to see any rust damage in the future - not wait until the liner bubbles up.

Absolutely not true. The Rhino lining dealer here in town has been at it quite a few years...happened to my buddy's truck. Not that he was trying to remove anything, and it didn't pop off, but became so soft you could have easily peeled it off with just about anything. Yep, Rhino brand.

Must have been on there for a while then, because it has not done anything to the trucks that I have seen it touch....

Guess I will use apply brake fluid to it in areas that I want it removed from like aircraft stripper and see what happens….

Plenty of heat will make it soft . . .

Name for me one good chemical that does not cause cancer or raise hell with your skin?

I asked a urethane liner shop just today how brake fluid affects sprayed on urethanes. Softens 'em right up. Catch it quick and clean off the brake fluid and the liner will harden again. Leave the brake fluid on there and expect severe liner deterioration.

Not if you sit in it long enough...

I does not surprise me, brake fluid does some nasty things to rubber, paint and anything that gets in it's way.

All of the bed liners that I've seen (single component, 2 component epoxy, and high heat types) are urethanes.

A gallon of urethane reducer or lacquer thinner will cost about $10. Spray an area then cover it with a sheet of plastic to slow the evaporation. You should have good results.

I'm interested in your final solution, keep us posted.

You just have to be very careful. It's an inhalation hazard!
