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. Seemer |
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.

Here you go:

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.

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

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. |
Hmmm...
I like the $8.00 Duplicolor idea better thatn the $50 Vortex Is the Duplicolor available in Canada? |
Yes, I got it at Canadian Tire
