What is Your Opinion on Spray-in Bed Liners??
 
So I got a new to me yard cart for my Cub Cadet to pull this weekend off Craigs List.

The all steel cart has about a dozen surface rust spots in the bottom of the bed where the paint failed. The paint came off where the stiffeners are welded underneath.

At each weld there is a 1/2" x 2" long surface rusted spot.

I originally thought I would just paint it, then I thought about liquid bed liner.

Is this a good option?

Too rough to dump?

Too expensive?

Is there a better option?

The cart bed is 48" x 48".

If you really want it done ,then take it somewhere to have it done. I know a couple people who have tried the do-it yourself kits and they suck to say the least. The best result was with the DuPont system though. We have a Linex dealer near us so that is what we use.

Paint it! I bet the bedliner will cost more than the trailer. If it is outside all of the time just make sure the water can roll off of it and not stand in the bed. If you use it often enough what little rust forms won't hurt it all.

A friend some years ago bought a cart for his dere', well the dealer told him as we were loading it on his pick up,

"when you get home get a hammer & screwdriver & give it a couple wak's, & put a few scratches in the bed."

Well he didn't & after a couple of years (of NOT using it). He remembered what the dealer told him. Soooooooo he started to use it like it was intende to be used & does not worry about a few dings & bings.

Slop on some rust reformer paint were ya see rust & don't worry about it.

Satan I tell you. You need to have a exorcism. I can help, this is my specialty. Get an 18 pack of Bud, sprinkle just a very very small amount on the paint. Now say very loudly "get out Satan greene" and very quickly knock out the 18 pack. You may need some help from a friend but this is a byobe:beer2:
