So the plan for my fj 40 build is to bed line the interior/under body then clear the bere steel exterior panels. This thing will be off roaded therefore I need something thats tough and scratch resistant.
I looked into tintable bed liners but if you dont tint them Im told they dry to an opaque finish so thats out.
Best option Ive come across so far seems to be Amershield VOC. Its a Polyester-Acrylic Alipathic Polyurethane according to the data sheet I was sent (whatever the hell that means). Was told that you can build it up with many layers (up to 5mm) and its scratch resistant and uv resistant. Dude I spoke to who works for the local distributor said it would be perfect and even knew what a rat rod was lol, which was encouraging.
A shop who my buddy works for made a fence for a local restaurant out of steel plate with decorative patterns cut out of it a couple years ago. They just sand blasted the plate and coated it in this stuff, went and checked it out a couple weeks ago and it seems to be holding up pretty mint and this is right next to a parking lot that sees snow/salt for 5 month/year.
This is the plan so far but feel free to post up alternatives that have worked for you.
Thanks in advance.
