THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

I seem to remember a post some time ago with pics of a Pinz whose interior had been coated with bedliner material tinted with OD paint. It looked great.

I have purchased SEM tintable bed liner and the Swiss Army Green two part urethane. The problem is. no one (at the local auto paint shop, and the SEM directions are a bit fuzzy) seems to agree on the ratio of paint to bedliner and if the paint should be activated before introduction to the SEM or not.

Would like to talk to the person how did it and get the straight scoop before I go and ruin some expensive coating materials.

Thanks

Hi tom that was me. I mixed up all the paint and the urethane and then made small batches with the hardener that could be sprayed quickly. The stuff sets up hard enough in 15 to 20 minutes so that it can’t be sprayed out of the gun. You constantly have to mix new batches and spray it quickly to keep from ruining the schutz gun or the coating. I also purchased Trim tap www.trimtape.com with wire inside is used to make a nice sharp line around the edges. If you use masking tape it can get stuck under the bedliner. In my 712 I used 2 kits to do all the back and front including the doghouse. Hope this helps.

I beleve the mix Ratio was 2oz of paint per gallon but i cant remember exactly. dont use any paint hardener (paint only).

Thanks again
