The Monstalined 80's thread

Heat & humidity make it set up fast. By the time I got all the way around the truck it was time for the next coat, maybe 20 minutes. It was probably upper 80's & ~50% humidity.

It's pretty humid in Chicago.

Also, my truck is very dark, almost black, & it had been sitting in the sun. I'd imagine that made it cure faster from being so hot. Do it in the shade!

You didn't do it in the garage?

 

[LFD2037]

Nope. Did it in my driveway.

That's what I'd like to do. Don't have that much room in the garage but I was worried about stuff getting into the monstaliner. I guess if it drys that quick i don't have to worry that much. About how long did it take you?

 

[LFD2037]

Maybe 20 minutes each coat. It'd probably take twice that to do the whole rig.

For what it's worth, mine was cured the next day. I did it in Houston, in August / I belive it was 99/100 degrees & about 60% humidity.

Did it inside a shop & only had to wait an hour for the second coat.

Rinsed with water around midnight per the instructions & drove it by noon the next day.

Thanks guys. I am going to call today and see how long it'll take to receive the two gallon kit. If I can get it by this weekend I will get it done. I was going to order extra rollers. Any suggestions on how many extra I shout get?

 

[LFD2037]

I used 3 and could've used more. They deteriorate fast. I'd say 5.

 

[sbrodacz]

Ordered. Should be here by Friday.

Factory dark emerald pearl

Has anyone added metallic flake to the liner to closer match the factory metallic colors?

Mine has them. Has the gold and white flakes. It was made that way from the paint store to match the color code. You can really see it in the sun.

Not sure if it would show up in a picture but can you take a close up of the paint?

After 18-24 hours you're supposed to hose it down. Is it supposed to say dry after that for a few days? We are supposed to have thunderstorms today and the 80s on the driveway.

I lightly misted mine about 4-5 hours afterwards. It was hard as a rock the next morning.

Hard to see tell but you can see it if you enlarge the picture.

Can anyone that has lined only their roof share some pics? Curious what lines you chose. I can't decide if I want to carry the line from the rain gutter around the back or not.
