bedarmor on my bumpers

[doker]

I painted my front and rear bumpers with dupicolor bedarmor and clear coated it after

I like it did you check if the clearcoat was compatible before spraying it? I would hate to see it peel when exposed to UV rays.

Thanks , the clear coat i used was for use on plastics and metals it was krylon, i painted it in 3steps first was adheshive promoter,then the bedliner ,and the clear coat after ,still needs some touch up ,most likely going to put a few more coats on it soon , thanks for the input

IMHO, you should have stopped at bed armour. You could have just touched it up easily when you wanted to. Live and learn, I think you will find that in time you have a mess on your hands. The good news is, you can replace the parts for cheap if you need to.

I actually agree, I would have stopped at the bed armor as well. It would have been durable enough on its own and would have maintained a nice finish without the clear coat.

The clear coat doesnt change the finish what so ever , lol theres a diffrence from a clear coat and a GLOSS clear coat

Bedliner fades , clear coat stops bedliner from fadeing

I too would have stopped at the bedliner...
Oh wait I did 2 years ago:

It hasnt faded yet (I used bed armor also). Hell it didnt even scratch when i got hit.

Longterm I don't think non 2k acrylic clearcoat in rattleform from Krylon is going to adhere to the base. That is what I think.

Looks great, only time will tell if the bond/primer promotor will hold its grip, I used the same stuff on my hood and plastic hood scoop, and used the roll on bedliner on my front bumper, here again time will tell

No... It won't ruin it. The CC will peel after a few months in the sun, it expands and contracts at a different rate then paint. Been there, tried that. I painted my whole truck in bedliner about 12 years ago.
When it starts peeling, get a real stiff bristle brush and scrub it off. You should be able to brush away most of the CC.

Its more likely to do that then chip or flake off the bedliner , like i said its not gloss so it wont affect the looks After ,thanks for clearing that up

Ya know... there are occasions where I speak (or in this case, type) before I think... This is one of those times. I promise I'm not an idiot despite my original post
