FAQs
What is the best temperature for application?
For optimal results, apply when the ambient temperature is between 10°C and 25°C (50°F and 77°F).
How long does it take to dry?
The product is touch dry in approximately 15-20 minutes and fully cured within 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Can I use this on the exterior of my truck?
This product is specifically designed for the interior load-carrying areas of trucks. It is not intended for exterior body panels.
How many cans do I need for a standard truck bed?
One 1200ml can should be sufficient for most standard-sized truck beds, applying 2-3 coats. Larger or dually trucks may require more.
Is this product sandable if I make a mistake?
Yes, once fully dried, the coating can be lightly sanded if necessary to correct imperfections before recoating.
Will this product prevent rust on bare metal?
Yes, it provides a protective barrier that helps prevent corrosion on bare metal surfaces when applied correctly.
Can I paint over this product later?
While designed as a final finish, it can be painted over with compatible paints after proper surface preparation (light sanding).
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked; if it is, clear it according to the can's instructions or replace the can.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared (free of grease, dirt, and rust) before application. Surface temperature may also be a factor; apply within the recommended temperature range.
Runs or drips
Apply in lighter coats and maintain the correct spraying distance. If runs occur, allow to dry fully, then lightly sand the affected area and reapply in thin coats.
Finish is too smooth or not textured enough
Ensure the can is shaken adequately throughout application to keep the texturing agents suspended. Apply slightly thicker coats if necessary, but avoid excessive application which can lead to runs.
Pros and Cons

- Provides excellent protection against load damage and impacts.
- Offers a durable, textured, anti-slip surface.
- Resists corrosion and UV fading for long-lasting appearance.
- Quick drying time reduces application inconvenience.
- Suitable for application on various common truck bed materials.
Cons
- Not suitable for very flexible surfaces.
- Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, and rust. For best results, lightly abrade the surface if it is already painted.
- Mask off any areas not intended for coating, such as the vehicle's bodywork, windows, or tailgate hinges.
Application:
- Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use and periodically during application.
- Hold the can approximately 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) from the surface.
- Apply in light, even coats, using a steady sweeping motion. Overlap each pass by approximately 25%.
- Allow 10-15 minutes between coats.
- A minimum of two to three coats is recommended for adequate protection.
Compatibility:
This product is suitable for use on pre-painted surfaces, bare metal, and most common automotive plastics. Avoid application on highly flexible substrates where cracking could occur.
Care:
Clean the treated surface with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the textured finish. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush and water.
