[Spridgets] Truck bed liner

[Jim Johnson]

The only danger I can see in using the RhinoLiner as undercoat is that even
the slightest amount of rust or moisture sealed in by the RhinoLiner will
continue.  I have seen this with other sealants. Unless your metal is
completely rust free (very unlikely) the rust process will continue
regardless of you having covered it up.

I restore old motorcycles for fun. Even powder coating can do this. Not long
ago I saw a frame that had been powder coated with either some rust or
moisture still in the pores of the metal underneath. Eventually (about 15
years in this case) the frame tube rusted through underneath the powder
coat!  One day in a corner, the frame crumpled causing a wreck. Examination
afterward showed places where the powder coat would flake away leaving a
very rusty spot on the frame underneath.

Point is, you can "over-seal".  I'd make sure I had a good primer and paint
job on the metal before the RhinoLiner.  The various rust converters on the
market are a better bet IMHO.

Cheers!!
Jim
