TRUCK BEDLINERS?
Originally posted by: SHOTGUN
I spray liners for a living. I wouldn't touch that job for less than 2k. It will take at least two days to do properly. The amount of chemical being applied is more than twice as much that would be needed for an eight foot bed.
I can spray four bedliners in two days. Each liner averages about $400 each. That would be $1,600 worth of bedliners I could do in the amount of time it would take me to do that trailer. Not to mention I would be out much more masking supplies. There would need to be a primer coat put down due to the wood application.
I get quite amused at people that know more about a process than the people that actually do it.

Buck....is guess if you would have read the entire post you would have seen where I posted that I an part owner of a spray bed liner business...not just work for one....It's call Mega liners of Maine...
We also charge 400 per bedliner that for a 8' bedliner sprayed floor and up the sides, but not the top rails. that extra.
I would have a hard time explaining to a customer why I had charged $1600.00 for spraying a 16 ft trailer, floor only. 16 x 8 = 128 sq ft. when we only charge $400.00 for a pickup body which would be an average 108 sq ft counting the sides, front, and tailgate.
We spray primer on everything, no extra cost there. can't picture why you would use more masking tape, and if we did what would you add $2.00.
Sorry but it wouldn't take two days to spray 128 sq ft. $800.00 max.[/quote]
The math is VERY simple. As for the masking.....not only does the entire inside of the trailer need masked, but the entire outside. Maybe you buy cheap masking supplies....I don't.
There are six companies in my area that spray name brand liners. None of them would touch a sixteen foot enclosed trailer for less than 2k.
Good luck making ends meet working for free.
