non carpet wheelhouse floor covering?

[redhooks]

Ready to do my floors but dont want carpet because I have a toydoor and want something durable and easy to clean for year round use w sleds and wheelers, any input on painting or bedliner? Do I need primer first?thanks for any input.

I have seen the do-it-yourself roll-on liners in a few houses. They dont work! Wont stick to green treated plywood. I would check with the pros,line-x or rhino. Spendy, but worth it in the long run. I painted my green floors and it didnt work either. Good luck!

Do you have acess to an air compressor? If so Raptor liner from napa is a nice spray on box liner comes in black or it can be tinted to any color with the tintable version and automotive base coat. Kit runs $115 to $135 and the spray gun is around $15.00. You can add some sand box or sand blasting sand for traction so it's not slick if your floor get real wet.

Nuts, wish I would have read this earlier but went to fleet and found herculiner had a 20$ rebate so I bought 2 kits and applied first one today. Sure looks good, Hope it works.

I know you've already started on your floor, but for anyone else, I do have a suggestion. I would consider PVC 1/4" 4x8 sheets, and for traction put on that tape that is like sandpaper. Sorry, I can't think of the name but it's 2" wide and is adhesive on one side and abrasive on the other. Then just caulk the seams/edges. The PVC cleans up really nice.

Edit: I know truckers use that tape on a lot of places, I just can't think of the name.

Red, thats the product i was talking about.Bummer! It will last a while if you are careful with it, eventualy will come off. Dont use shovels,scrapers carbide skis,etc.

I have always thought that rubber diamond tread mat that i have seen in the farm supply stores would work great. I cant remember but i think they had it in rolls that were 6 or 8 feet wide. should be easy to clean and non-slip. they only drawbacks i see are you wouldnt get snowmobile skis to slide on it(if you are planning to haul a sled) and if it is any thicker than an 1/8" or so it could add quite a bit of weight.

I used the cheep Plastikote? last year on green treated and it peeled up the first trip. I went for the more expensive Herculiner for the next house, and it stayed on great. No peeling at all. This was on Advantech, rather than green treated, so not apples to apples.

Thanks for the input guys, lipripper I have advanced so hopefully it'll be fine. I've been following that thread on your 2010 build and getting lots of ideas, thanks for sharing! Waiting on a big door for hauling a sled a will probably use an old rug or mat for the skis.
