They said that it wasn't legal to spray used engine oil because of the heavy metals. It won't look as nice as Puddles' project flatbed, but a half gallon of Rotella isn't quite as expensive.

You can get different colors, and for more money you can get Kevlar added for more strength. Yes there is a texture to it. http://arizonaline-x.com/kevlar.html [Reply]  [No Email]

It sticks out of my equipment shed, but I keep a tarp over it. It's not quite as shiny as when new, maybe because of all the moss that grows on it from lack of use! :lol: [Reply]  [No Email]

Just did my vehicles with it. This stuff they put on the roads now, just eats up vehicles. [Reply]  [No Email]

I built a gooseneck adapter for my flatbed trailer. I was quoted over $2,000.00 to powder coat, paid $1,100.00 to have it Line-Xed. http://www.linex.com/pages/2010/commercial_industrial/ [Reply]  [No Email]

Is the finish smooth like an automotive finish or is there a texture to it. That product looks like some really good stuff. I have a trailer that I would like to put back on the road but I need to do some repairs to it first and that paint would look good on it. [Reply]  [No Email]
