Re: Inside cab coating question??

epoxy primer is a good start. I used Duplo truck bed liner on top of the epoxy primer and that is as far as I have gotten so far. I will be insulating soon. It really needs insulation as it gets hot in the cab from engine heat.

I'm in the same spot as Chevy Fleetside. Epoxy primed then endura bed liner on the bottom and top sides. Haven't decided on which way to go with insulation yet.

You can roll it on if you don't have a sprayer. It is very toxic and you need a lot of ventilation when applying it.

No reason really. Just extra protection. epoxy primer is probably enough.

X2 on the bed liner. Also hope it adds to the sound deadening a bit.
