Helps prevent dents, dings and damage
Rhino Linings is a world leader in sprayed-on protective linings for automotive and other commercial applications.
When we were there Alex showed us some photos and examples of work that he's done. There was also a horse float there that had been done earlier.
He told us of a job he done on a motor boat and the owners feedback was that 60% of the noise (from the bottom of the boat hitting the water as it skimmed across the surface) had been cut out.
So this polyurethane is amazing stuff.
Their spray on "Tuff Stuff" provides slip resistance and protects vehicles from rust, corrosion, abrasion and impact.

The most time consuming part of the job is masking off the car. Every inch that is not going to be sprayed needs to be covered to protect from overspray.
A special tape with embedded string is traced around the edges where the lining is supposed to stop. From there masking tape and plastic is applied to provide the cover.

The polyurethane mixture is pumped from two different drums and combine through the cyclonic nozzle.
They do about three passes. It also depends on how thick they plan to go. The sides of the tray get about 3mm in depth and the bottom is 4mm or 5mm.
This part doesn't take all that long. As mentioned they spend a lot of time preparing the area, so they don't have to spend time fixing things up after it's all done and set.

It's touch dry about 30 seconds after it's done. It feels a little warm. You can see the heat coming off some of these photos.
There are other companies that do it but the Rhino Lining is patented. Once they've taken off the masking and sheets and underlay that they cover the vehicle you're right to drive away. Other products take a day to apply and set. And a week to cure.
It's recommended you allow Rhino Lining to cure for 24 hours before it starts working like a Clydesdale.

Looking good!
The Mighty Boy's boot is smaller than a bath tub but this tray lining makes it look very smart indeed.
Imagine filling that up with ice and stocking it with cans of whatever takes your fancy!
Thanks to the team at Rhino Lining and especially Alex and David for a job well done.

What do you think so far? Be kind as I'd hate to hurt the little Mighty Boy's feelings.
