I've been interested in a rhino liner for years but never considered one for my slick. Sounds like a good idea but I'd be afraid with my amateur status that it wouldn't come out right. Have seen a few jobs where guys have done it themselves and wasn't impressed. The kit though sounds reasonable. Wouldn't be a bad thing to have I reckon. I'm interested in hearing more. Never told you this before Skip but I love your avatar.

Uncle Skip

I checked out their web site and I am going to check into becoming a dealer. The stuff should work real good as an undercoater for a couple of jobs I've got going and I really like being able to color it almost any color. My main interest is in under coating and sound deadner. I don't know if there is a big enough market here locally to start a business but I am going to look into it, never know unless you try.

There is a shop in the next town over that I think uses this or a similar product I'll check next time I'm over there.

Anyway, Uncle Skip thanks for the link and information .

Never thought about undercoating Mike. Seeing as my slicks an Ohio/PA slick undercoating would be nice. Still not sure I would want to do it myself, but thanks for the idea

The one I am for sure going to use this material on is a 72 Dodge Charger I have up on the rotissiore right now. Be real easy to do and It needs to be done with something anyway. This is where I'm going to experiment with the color. It's going to be a while but when I do it I'll post some pics.

Mike.
Did you see the pictures that Max posted of the undercoating on his '64? He used a different liner, but the results are spectacular results. Check him out.
As for DIY, if you get the prep right and follow the directions, its pretty much a no brainer. The texture is adjusted by the control on the gun. They'll tell you how and how much.
Just always be sure to use a respirator when you use this stuff.
No Rich.
I didn't get a message.

Skip, no big deal. I was asking if you were near the guy with the grill and bumper. I am going to try and make a deal with the guy, but was wondering if you were near to him? I would like it checked out before I send money. Seems like a good guy, and has owned three slicks in the past.

Mike,

Thanks for the welcome, Al's will make an excellent option for your undercoating for several reasons.

As you stated we can offer color matching abilities and keep the vehicle road ready without damage to an expensive paint finish.

At 25 mils thickness, just under a 32nd of an inch, Al's prevents starring on the top side of the metal, fenders, etc.

We also recommend using Al's as an interior coating for vibration and sound reduction, at 45 mils you will see approximately 10 db reduction.

With our simple application gun, Al's can be applied by many ways to many substrates.

Thanks again for the warm welcome, let me know if you have any other questions,

Dana Mitchell, Al's Liner

I think I could use 1 kit. I might do my stang underside.
Or maybe the wife's Jeep from the door handles down.
Or maybe my kitchen.
Someday I'll get another slick :(

Thanks again guys

Post by Al's Liner »

We appreciate the compliments, Duke I did receive you message and hope you don't mind me posting the reply, those are questions a lot of people ask and I think it would be good for the guys on the forum.

Duke,

Thanks for contacting us and no worries about the questions. We want our customers to be confident and comfortable with the products they purchase from us.

I would recommend a compressor simply because you will be able to control your texture with the gun much better than rolling or brushing. You may want to brush in tight area of the frame and underbody then texture with the gun. The compressor requirements are 7cfm / maximum 55psi at the gun. I generally spray between 25 and 35 psi.

The gun has a trigger lock on the back that makes it very easy for first time applicators, pull the trigger until you find the pattern you like and lock it in.

You will receive an instruction booklet with the kit but I also recommend going to the website and taking advantage of our Resources Page, video, write ups, etc. You can find that at, http://www.alsliner.com/resources.php.

Thanks again, let us know if you have any other questions.

Hope this helps,

Dana
Make it yours!
