Box liner spray on Foreman racks?
 
I'm thinking of having my front and back racks sprayed with Vortex liner spray.
It is similar to Rhino and Line-x. Has anyone tried it?
It would prevent plastic cases (tool boxes, gun cases)from sliding around.
The guy said $50.00 cash would cover it.
Any thoughts?

Haven't done it but I'm interested in how it turns out. I wish there were some aftermarket racks similar to Polaris (plastic?), I've been a Honda guy for years but man those painted racks look like heck after I've hauled all the stuff I need.

I just saw some some pics of this same thing. I think it was in the utility discussion forum. Looked pretty sweet.

I love the idea!

I'm going to take the racks off this weekend and have it done, I have to hit them with 80 grit paper so "it bites" I love it.
I will send the pics when its done.

I had mine sprayed with Line-x on my 05 Rubicon about 2 years ago and it is still holding up. It costs 50 bucks to have it done. Well worth it my opinion.

If you want I can post pics of it.

I have never heard of Vortex. Is that a company like Line-x or you do it yourself?

Please post the pics.

Vortex is a company like Line-X. It is supposed to be a little "stickier" than Line-X
but not quite as "sticky" as Rhino.

Yamaha has this done on ther atvs factory and I think its really smart move, I own nothing but Hondas and the racks are just destroyed from the usage that they get, and I have to paint them all the time and that gets boring.

$50 is great, even if it wears down after a few years ,I would just keep geating it redone at that price.

Does the stuff stick to plastic composite racks as well?

I used duplicolor spray-on bedliner on my racks, great texture, has held up fine for almost a year now and if you prep correctly it will last forever... the best part, it only cost $8 :D

I did the same thing, works great. If you have to take off and put them back on anyway might as well spray em yourself too.

I used the same product last spring on my Foreman's Racks, relatively in-expensive, completed in my own garage, and held up great so far, with 1000 km's of riding I do not need to touch up the coating at all so far.

The Duplicolor product is great in that you can still clean the surface easilly and the textured finish covers uneven surfaces left by previous scratches.

When I did my racks, I sanded down ALL rust to bare metal and roughed up all surfaces with 80 grit sand paper, I primed the rust spots with rust inhibiting primer and then applied the Duplicolor spray on Truck bed liner.

Seemer 04-16-2009 10:53 PM

Hmmm...
I like the $8.00 Duplicolor idea better thatn the $50 Vortex
Is the Duplicolor available in Canada?

action450s 04-17-2009 10:48 AM

Yes, I got it at Canadian Tire
