I've searched for a while and find all kind of threads on painting the exterior and flares and everything else I'm not looking for. Does anyone have some links to folks pulling out the carpet and lining the inside of thier 80's. Do it yourself or let them do it. Afraid if they spray it there will be over spray where I don't want it with closed quarters. Thanks in advance.
 
Beno gutted his interior- I believe at least partially line-x'd as well.
 
Wow, that was a nice job.



I'd like to see it, I'm considering. I'd just like to do away with the carpet to avoid cleaning and putting it back.

I think it's DIY. Pull the seats, pull the carpet, prep and line. It will get louder. If that concerns you, Dynamat the floor and then line it.
 
I just used Herculiner on my roof rack, wow this stuff works great, and couple gallons and you should be good, another option would be the duplicolor bedliner, its real cheap, it doesnt have great reviews on holding up, but if it is going to be under the carpet i think it would be plenty
 
Thanks guys was considering the DIY Durabak in the grey to match the interior, I wanted to just do away with the carpet. It has those molded husky floor mats I would probably put back on top. Hoping to see others that had tried it. :)

Correct. It's wearing really good after about 1.5 years. But I am going to go back in this spring and "freshen" things up a bit inside. It needs at least 3-5 thick layers. That was my mistake the first time around.

Looks great Thanks. Why the extra layers to quiet it down more or is it wearing with 1 or 2 layers?
 
Here's mine with about a 1/4" of Linex:

Looks good, did they spray it for you or did you DIY. If they sprayed did you have any problems with over spray?
 
I should add that AMMO was my inspiration for doing this to my truck--I think he was one of the first to do this to the inside of their rigs.

:cheers:
 
I did mine about 3 years ago with Rhino linning. I selected Rhino for the interior because of its texture. I have Line X in my Cummins and love it in the bed of the truck but using it on an interior, I felt, would just be asking to draw blood when you go looking under the seats for something or digging around the gear in the back.

I will try and take some photos to explain the way I acomplished it. But here goes a written description. I cannot speak for Linex but with Rino I was able to bridge the gaps along the door sills. In most of the photos of the rigs so far they covered the floor area but did not create as much of a liner as I wanted. I have drain holes that are open yet I also have all the wiring harness covered to the door sills. One layer was sprayed under to protect then another layer was sprayed over masking tape to create a flap that goes under the door sill plate but this allows very easy cleaing and wiping out of the interior.

I also used a flexible tube from the rear of the truck to the front to pass wiring throught and placed this under the Rhino. If need to remove or add wiring I can do this in the tube since the door sill area is no longer available after you line it.
My 8o is grey on the interior, I selected grey Rhino as the main color. I then had them speckle black on the top layer. This provided a very "natural" looking liner that matches the interior colors very well and looks "almost" that it was ment to be there.I will try and post some photos.

Thanks for the info, great idea with the tube front to rear for the wiring. I'm very interested in seeing. :)
 
I'd like to see pics of what you did. The tubing for the wiring was something I had contemplated as well.

Your wife would never allow you to do something like this...........

Yes she would. We made a deal: she gets all of my money, tells me what to do, what to wear, and who my friends are. In exchange, I get to decide what kind of interior part of my own car will have.

It was all in the prep... and it took forever. Mine was spray Linex, lots of mask and wrapped the whole rig, all the bolts were removed from the floor and plugged. Also all interior panels were removed and the walls were shot up about a foot. Once shot all the plugs removed and bolts and brackets put back in place.

Thanks X5 :lol: I'm going to talk with the local Line-x folks to see if they'll even do it and for what price or it may be a DIY project.
