Default Interior coating

Looking to sand down and coat the interior of my Jeep and was wondering about any suggestions anyone might have. Line x, rhino etc etc. Thanks

I assume that you mean the metal surfaced such as the floorpans, etc. Linex would be preferable over Rhino lining. I've had the linex premium in the bed of my truck for 10 years and it has faded slightly, but no more than could be expected, and it is still solid.

However, if you have any rust in the floorpans, I would go with rust bullet. The underside of my pickup bed had started to rust slightly so I took off the bed and flipped it over, sanded the bed and rust, and coated it with two coats of the silver rust bullet and one coat of the black. That was two years ago and it still looks like new.

Remember, linex will be rough / textured, and rust bullet will be smooth and somewhat glossy.


If you actually mean the plastic interior parts, i don't think that linex would work, or if it would, it would be expensive. You can also ignore my earlier advise.

Yes just the metal floor pans and textured is what I'm going for but there is a little bit of rust do maybe I'll just sand it down and put on some rust bullet

You can look into a diy kit such as herculiner or something similar that you can brush on after you take care of the rust to remove as much as possible. After cleaning the rust off, hit it with some primer and give it some time to dry. Then just prep the floorpans as the herculiner says, and coat it.
