Welcome aboard.

Lots of elbow grease and cases of beer. There really isn't an easy way.

+1! There is no magic potion, lots of work and grinding.

 

[RufCut]

ok. Dumb question. What is a line x liner?

 

[Ciera2450]

Truck bed liner

A 3750psi pressure washer w a rotary tip might peel loose liner, it did on mine.....

The 1st application of aircraft paint stripper loosened some more....

More 3750psi pressure washing.....

More aircraft stripper....

and repeat until liner free.......

plainly it sucked more then ya'd think........

if you can hook up to a HUGE hot water heater, 3750psi hot water seemed to work better......

I was waiting for you, JB.

How long did it take? I seem to remember it wasn't an afternoon success story.

 

[jbcurt00]

A couple of weeks....... I had to track down every gallon of stripper (4 I think) after work.

Went to every auto parts place in about a 50mile radius to get the 4....

And had to plan my time w the pressure washer from work....... which was a beast...

if you are the one that paid to have it applied, there is a warranty from Line-X that covers the original buyer
