Bed lining

[mental_help]

ok so I have been getting ready to bed line my interior I started on the back cargo area there was a little bit of rust there and all I have is some wood sand paper so I sprayed so wd40 thinking it would make sanding the rust easer but I got distracted and came out there to day to continue sand and it ate away all the back interior paint so I was wondering is this bad or good also will this affect any thing and last but not least do I still have to scratch up the surface because every 1 says
Scratch up the surface to make the bed liner stick to the paint well I don’t have paint for it to stick to know so yeah I need help.

You used a petroleum based lubricant on something you want to paint? And just how is the bedliner going to adhere to that?

Son, you need to stop working on vehicles before you hurt yourself........

wd40 and wood sand paper? umm okay!
So did it sand easier?

 

[DeRocha]

How do you plan on removing the WD40 so the bedliner will stick?

We'll take this slowly.

First, get some:

and:

.

Wash out anywhere you sanded and use:

to dry it well. You want all petroleum residue gone. Then, and only then, you can lay bedliner.

And, also use this:

Somehow, I think you'll know what to do with it.

Just bustin' your acorns, man.

Simply, if you clean it, it'll be fine once sealed with the bedliner. I've laid Herculiner in a trailer, and you're right--a scratched and scuffed surface is best.

For future reference, you can lubricate sand paper with plain water. Keep a small bucket of it nearby to rinse the paper when it gets "clogged" with debris. As above, the surface still need to be washed because there will be debris from sanding.

That works well for wet/dry paper..but will make a heckuva mess with wood paper...reference post #1....

Get the right tools for the job. It makes life so much easier and no one is that poor.

Metal 40-80 grit paper (whatever floats you boat)
Paint Thinner

And I wouldnt get all in a tither because the WD40 ate the paint away. Its kinda like your going to cover over it anyways.

brakekleen works too

 

[schmidlkofer]

take pics and what not i think im going to try and do the same thing.

 

[mental_help]

i would also recommend relocating your computer and go find the member LittleX he has a bunch of pics of it when he did it. but the relocating the computer is basically free and is a grate mod.

 

[MountaineerGreen]

Thats a grate idea.:wavey:

 

[schmidlkofer]

good idea..

 

[sn0border88]

why is it a grate (great) mod?

 

[mental_help]

it moves the computer to a higher location.
