Cobra Truck Bedliner can produce various textures depending on the nozzle size and thinning proportions: Coarse texture: adjustable by spraying pressure and the nozzle-to-surface distance; requires a UBS spray gun; Medium texture: adjustable by adding thinner 0-5% and spraying with a con-ventional gun and a Ø 2,5 mm nozzle. Fine texture (perfectly imitating plastic): when adding 25-30% thinner and applied with a conventional gun, nozzle diameter 1.4-1.8 mm. Cobra Truck Bedliner can also be applied with brushes and rollers. Recommendations for substrate preparation Remove all details not to be coated. Degrease with a silicone remover. Sand down with a sand grain suitable for the substrate (from P120 to P180). Blow the substrate clean of all loose particles. Degrease with a silicone remover. Mask all surfaces not to be coated (including tapped holes and fixed details) with painter’s tape and paper/plastic sheets. Apply an anti-corrosive protection layer (an etching primer 2K or an epoxy primer 2K); do not apply the protective coating on bare metal. For plastics and poorly matted substrates: use an adhesion promoting agent. If the product action on the substrate is uncertain, perform a thinner test: if the coating begins to dissolve after wiping with a cloth soaked in the thinner (1K), remove the coating. With the anti-corrosive coatings cured and properly prepared (by matting, blowing off dust and degreasing according to the specifications), apply the COBRA coating according to its Technical Data Sheet. Use: Cobra Truck Bedliner can be applied whenever you need a durable and lasting textured protective coating witch high mechanical strength and scratch resistance. The sound-proofing and sound-dampening performance comes with the anti-slip effect of the coating texture.
