I tried for the life of me to scrape, burn, and wire brush off my spray on bedliner. i took it to this bodyshop and they took it off with this inductor tool, i think from induction innovations, only cost me a few bucks. they said they use the tool for takin windows out too. i watched em do it, was pretty neat. body shops have all the right tools!

 

I Google seached and found it. It only heats up metal. So, I guess it heated the metal and then melted the liner...!?

 

thats the only way i can see it... because even herculiner says its permanent... but remember, when metal gets hot... nothing sticks to it... i would be worried about how they "removed" your bedliner... and how your paint is going to react now (if there is still some left lol)

 

they didnt have to get it that hot to get the liner off, in order to do any damage to the metal or adhesion of paint they would have to get the metal red hot and warp it, they didnt need to get it that hot, i only know cause i asked the same question to em. thanks though

 

A couple of questions:

1. What brand of liner did the body shop remove?
2. How long did it take them to remove it?

 

Somebody sees a whole Market segment he hadn't even realized existed.

(in the franchise manual, a Repeat customer was supposed to be somebody who had bought another truck)

 

I've taken old liners out of trucks before and it's not real fun. If thing works fast, it might be worth the investment.

 

i had rhinoliner, i was only there for about 15mins, but he said it would probably take him about 45mins, it was only his second one he took out too.

 

Why did you want it removed?

 

Yeah, no kiddin', why'd you have it removed? I guess that says something for Rhino/Linex spary-in bedliners... Glad I got a Linex...

 

I bought my bedliner used and with a spray on bedliner already inside. I'm trying to get mine revoved so I can get a BedRug. But also, the bedrug will probably fit inside because it's not real thick.

 

I got a spray in bedliner I have to have removed. It was just put in, but they guy did a bad job. I can see my the red paint of my truck through the liner.

Talked to the guy who sprayed it in, he is willing to put a couple more "kits" into the bed to cover it. He only used one the first time.

I took it on a hauling job and slid a 2x10 piece of wood over the tailgate into the bed and it peeled back a portion of the liner that covers the top of the tailgate.

I don't know if the peeling is due to the "thinness" of the spray in liner or poor product quality.

I want to get this liner removed and go to a Rhino Lining or something like that.

Sounds to me that a body shop is the way to go? Any other ideas? I am going to start calling local shops that do Rhino liners and see how much they want and if they are able to remove my existing liner.

 

Okay, called several shops in the Denver Metro area. Recieved quotes from $150-$900 to have the existing spray in liner removed.

I also found induction innovations online via google and sent them an email asking if they had sold any of their tools to any body shops here in Denver. I got a call from a shop about 4hrs later.

The guy never used the tool for removing liners but was willing to consider trying it. He said if it takes him less than an hour, he would probably charge me about $45 dollars. So that is the direction I am going.

 

I'm curious as to the outcome of having your bedliner removed!

 

So how did you make out?
