Armacoatings visited

well, i went up to arma coatings this weekend to look at their product line and to say i am very impressed would be quite an understatement. for their standard bedliner it has a more consistent and harder coating than either linex or rhino and it doesn't end there. they have a soft stretchy coating perfect for seats that i plan on putting on my offroader so i can just spray out the whole thing and not ever worry about it. they also can do the coating perfectly smooth which would be very nice on the lower body sections where you don't want the rough look of standard spray in's.

Good information pkagel. Is this stuff available nationwide? I'm not sure I've ever heard or seen them around this neck of the woods.

yes it is available nationwide but they don't have nearly as many dealers as does rino or linex. here is the link.

i tell ya, one of the things i really like about it is if you want it one the outside of the vehicle say at the bottom moulding for offroading protection it can be sprayed thin enough to no look silly or in the bed they can do it much thikcker than linex for extra protection if you like having bricks dumped in the bed. it is also dry withing minutes so you can take it home right after it is sprayed unlike others where they want it left overnight. the best part though has got to be the finished look of it. it is so much more uniform than any others. when i get my vw done i'll have skagel post pics for ya'll and even though the vehicle selection might not be to your taste i'm sure you'll like the finish of the spray on.

You going to use the coating as an undercoating? I'm interested because you say it's smooth looking rather than the textured look.

Can they do colors?

Guess it's time for me to surf that website that you posted...

actually, i'm going to cover a whole vehicle in it. they can make it as smooth or as rough as you need it to be, hard or soft as you need it to be and they can do custom colors in addition to their stock colors but the price will reflect this. for undercoating i'll just be doing regular undercoating, nobody looks under my bus anyway.
