Monstaliner write-up

its holding up great! ill update with more pics when it finally stops raining here. i think I'm going to do a color change eventually, tan used to be unique and now it seems like everyone is getting a tan vehicle.
 
[MENTION=66039]foxrider56[/MENTION] did you replace the rubber that goes around the outside of your windows? I want to do this, but want to replace that rubber too because mines in bad shape.
 
I can't wait to do my truck! I would love to change colors but I think the door jams being a different color will drive me crazy. The truck is IJM, but I would love to go white.

no i did not, didn't know hot to so i just taped it
 
I wanted to work on mine last year with Monstaliner, but the shipping to Alaska would dang near double the price of it.... I'll hold off a bit longer to paint the lower sections of my Runner due to that...
 
I purchased a gallon of monstaliner. I'm in proces of taping my fenders. Where the fender flares were. Any tips on taping something that bends ? So far my best solution is little pieces of tape overlaping each other to create a curve .

Also is the mix ratio 7:1? Right ? A gallon is to much for my project but a pint was not enough and 2 pints isn't that much cheaper then a gallon.

taping it off is a pain! small pieces are your best bet for a curve. and i don't know the ratio, i used the gallon so there was no trouble with trying to figure out the ratio. sorry if I'm not any help
 
Finished. Waiting on it to fully cure. I sanded it with 120 grit. Hopefully that is enough. I made sure I sanded good but not to bare metal. I've noticed that where I peeled the tape of the edge isn't fully bonded to the metal. Is this normal ?
 
Is MEK some sort of solvent for cleaning like mineral spirits? Im going to be lining my rig soon too. I was just gonna use mineral spirits but should i use the MEK like you? Or is there a better cleaning solution?

They also make some 1/4 tape you can use. Its more flexible and comes in a vinyl option as well. The you would tape the area under that to block it off. I used it for detailing mainly, but sure it would work fine for paint as well.

I'm considering lining my roof white. Have any of you that have used Monsta seen it hold dirt any more that normal paint (because of the slight texture)?

thanks
 
I need to do this....I think I am only going to do the bottom 3rd of the rig. Similar to what [MENTION=99565]kolelt[/MENTION] did, but I wonder how black and black will look?
 
thought i would update this thread and the monstaliner is still holding up great as far as cleaning what i do is take a hose to it and get the main dirt off then take armorall on a micro fiber rag and wipe the entire body with it. cleans all dirt off it and shines it up like its new. may sound strange but it works
