About Gator Guard II Truck Bed Liner Kit
If you'd use a standard drop-in liner, it can warp and trap water and contaminants that can lead to bed corrosion. But our 2-part epoxy system offers a non-skid, chip-resistant black finish that's flexible at low temperatures, so water and contaminants can't get trapped underneath. Easy to apply with a wide brush or roller, or spray-on with our 20441 Undercoating Gun. Adheres to firmly adhering paint or bare metal. Degrease area to be coated and mask. One kit covers 32 square feet, and most truck beds will require 2 kits (2 or more kits are available at a discounted price).
Each Truck Bed Liner Kit includes one container each of parts "A" and "B", a total of about 1.8 quarts (enough to cover the bed of a small truck). For larger trucks or heavier coats, get 2 kits at a discounted price.
(Q) How long after application must I wait to use the truck bed?
(A) At 72 degreesF surface will remain tacky for 7 hours. After 48 hours, surface will have no product transfer and may be used for heavy loads. Do not wash surface with soap, water or any other solvents for a minimum of 2 days after application.

This coating is appropriate for all surfaces except polyethylene and similar plastics. Before coating, lightly scuff bed surface to roughen. Make sure surface is free of any grease or oil. Mix equal parts of "A" and "B" thoroughly. Brush or roll mixed material at a 5-10-mil thickness. For spray application using a Shutz-type gun, apply a medium-wet coat at 35-65 psi. Immediately clean off any overspray and applicator with mineral spirits or paint thinner. Works best between 65 and 95 degreesF. One kit coats 32 sq. ft. with a 5-10-mil coat.

Review by Dannoman -
I bought some Gator Guard and used it inside the box on my El Camino. I am generally happy with it but there are a few things to keep in mind if you are considering it for your vehicle. This is a basic, lower cost product so you should not over expect too much. It does what it is supposed to do so that’s what is important. I am happy with the coverage, one pack was enough to do the bed and inside 4 walls of my El Camino with about a third left over, and I did lay it on heavy. After it dried, which in the heavier areas took about 2-3 days; it had a glossy finish with many very sharp grit pieces apparent. The glossy black finish is not too cool because it really shows the grit bumps and big clumps in a more pronounced manner than one would prefer. It appears to have a nice tough bond to the vehicle’s sheet metal though.Value Quality Price
The really important thing about applying this product is to take the mixing instructions very serious. The one can has thick black material in it that is reminiscent of roofing tar. The other can contains fluid of a paint thinner type of look and smell. If this combination is not mixed thoroughly, there will be clumps of thick black goo that will clog your gun tip or leave ugly clods if applied by hand.
I tried the paint roller method. This did not work out well. The knap of the roller allowed big globby clods to be applied, so I opted to apply product in bulk with the roller, then spread the product around with a brush for even application and clod break up. There are brush marks in some places, and if I pressed too hard, some gray streaks were left. The best way to apply Gator Guard would be by sprayer, but only after mixing the 2 cans thoroughly!

I used 2 cans on my super crew shortbed, minus the tailgate. looks good up until the sprayer (sold here) kept clogging, I would then put my finger on the nozzele and pressurize the can. This caused a couple big seagull turds to shoot out and land in the bed. So then I would remove the sludge can and stick the sprayer in some asetone and try again until it clogged. No idea what was happening, product was mixed well. sprayer sucked.Quality Price Value -

So far am very pleased with durability and looks. I applied it to the floor of my '52 Willys Wagon. I don't know if I didn't apply it thick enough because one kit did the whole back floor.Value Quality Price -
Disapointed with appearance

I purchased the Gator Guard to use on my pickup toolbox rather than have it coated with Rhino Lining like the rest of the bed. Unfortunately that turned out to be a mistake. The surface turned out to be very rough with some areas even "sharp" to the touch. At first I thought that I had applied it incorrectly but that was not the case. I mixed and applied it according to the directions. Although the price iand value are fair, I cannot recommend this product.Value Quality Price -

First off, the suggested two kits for larger trucks doesn't really work. I bought two kits for my full-size longbed, I was able to get two thirds done and ran out. I going to try to finish with just one more, but its going to be close. I sprayed to the economy sprayer sold here.. Worked great at 75psi. Everything cleans up well with acetone. The A part of this epoxy is a thick sludge. Tis makes mixing an interesting and potentialy messy affair. Be prepared for that. Other than that, 2/3rds of my truck bed look beautiful.Price Value Quality
