Mirrors- yes. Rims, probably not. There's not much benefit on the rims and I imagine it could mess with the balancing. The tire guys would hate me even more.

It is good stuff. If you can't find a distributor locally, we might be able to ship it to you.

We've used it for rockers, beds, floors, toppers etc, and it's held up great so far!

Well that is what I would assume I just saw some write ups about how airflow overy standard paint is very important to fuel consumption. I had not seen a rhino-lined type car only dedicated trail rigs. Thought I would ask.

I think this is the first Spray Lined job that actually looks good in my opinion. I tried doing this to the hood of my truck, and it looked horrible. Good job man. and great choice of color

Thanks! It's a '95. Check out IH8MUD.com for all the LC info you could ever want!

Yeah, I imagine it could have a negative effect, especially on a vehicle designed to be aero-dynamic. I just doubt there was much aero-dynamic testing when they designed the LC.

Do you think you could provide a little more information for us thinking about trying it?

how many gallons of the al's spray on bedliner did you have to use? what other materials do you need to buy besides a spray gun, and bedliner? any other information would be great.

I thought my write-up was detailed...

3 gallons to achieve the proper thickness (well, a little less but it only comes in whole gallons). We used an orbital sander with 40 grit disks to sand it down. You could use whatever you want as long as it creates a rough surface. Then all you need to buy is masking tape and plastic.

The liner comes with everything else you need: 3-part Liner, etching primer and even a paddle mixer for your drill. If you want a gun too, it's not that expensive.

Here's the pricing.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes, we ship. Our Shipping estimator on the site still has some bugs. It should be accurate, but to make sure you can give us a call at 719-499-8126. At least you won't pay sales tax through us!

Most of our bumpers start as custom work that progress into production products. We don't currently have a 4Runner to use to mock-up a bumper which makes things difficult. We definitely want to build for all years of 4Runners, but the first one is always the hardest.

I see that you may be in CO soon, look us up when you get here and maybe we can work something out...

Looks great. Love the color! Did you have to thin it to get it to spray well?

Nope. Al's liner is made to be sprayed, rolled or brushed on.

Im really leaning on doing this. my truck is scratched to hell from all the brush i've driven through. :/ I need to get my gears/lockers done first though. but yeah, i'd totally do the gray instead of tan... maybe do my bumpers black as well have you had any UV damage to the color yet? has it faded?
