Finishing inside of front & rear clips

[Jack]

Looking for a tested product to complete finishing on the inside of front and rear clips. Truck bed coating does not appeal to me at all. At least I have not found one that I like.

Thinking about a high build primer and some kind of matte finish coating...

Any ideas???????????

Have you seen Rhino Lining? It has a pleasant wrinkle-finish to it.

The biggest problem with finishing the unseen side of the bodywork is the uneven texture of the chopped glass. Other than a truck-bed liner, it seems like too much effort involved considering the effects of finishing. Heavy primer coats just would look like poorly done bodywork, magnifying the flaws of the exposed chopped glass.

It won't hide much of the uneven surface below but POR-15 is a good product for finishing out interior surfaces which don't need a lot of visual appeal. It's tough stuff and sticks like crazy.

Molleur:

Wurth used to have a product called Body Schutz, stays flexible and can be painted over. Also I have used a 3M product, don't remember the name but the can screws onto the applicator gun (About $60) and it can be built up rather thickly.
No mixing required on the 3M stuff, just spray it on and you can also paint over it.

Both come in black as far as I have seen.
Good Luck

Thanks for the idea Phil. I believe the product is Wurth Stoneguard. The applicator gun is around $80.00. Most paint suppliers have similar products, I'll try it on some scrap and see how it goes. Should leave a "pebble" finish.

There is a matt clear that you can spray over the black primer, I think. We are going to use something like that for the interior surfaces and the insides of the clips etc. The advantage of the clear matt finish is that it can be wiped clean even though it isn't shiny.

I have had very good luck with Restomotive products as well (POR15 and similar stuff they make) but if you use it, WEAR GLOVES. It does not come off skin. The skin has to come off you, which takes weeks.

Thanks Jim,
I have been using Rust Bullet products very successfully, similar to POR-15.
have thought of that also. The Rust Bullet black hardshell is some pretty good stuff.

Jack,
You could try a PPG product called DP90-LT a primer sufacer 2 part epoxy based. coats nicely and very tough. The (90) part is the colour.
