Cost of Rhino liner Spray On RV Roof ?

...........My research has shown that the cost of having a 6.5' bed on a pickup runs ~$450 or so ! Calculating the cost of spraying 35 lineal feet for an RV roof.....35\6.5=5.4 x 450 = $2430 !!!
...........So , if anyone would like to correct my estimates please do so ! Installing a new EPDM rubber roof runs ~$100 per lineal foot . , thanks , jf
  • You cannot really extrapolate that way for your roof. For such a job, you'll probably be looking to use one of their industrial applicators versus the usual truck bed shop. Further, depends on the level of preparation you're willing to do yourself. You'll need a quote. At our prior home we had a concrete porch the prior owner tried to DIY stain the concrete. It was horrendous! Choices to address 300 sq ft were concrete overlay, tile, or Line-X. Concrete overlays are iffy on aged concrete without serious preparation and quality bridging products so the estimate was as bad as I expected. Tile still required so good preparation work, and my wife and I could only agree on slate so that was also spendy!!! Called up the industrial Line-X folks who shot some of the floors at the company shop and had them do a grey Aspart-X with the smaller black and gray color chips. Basically, a faux granite. Cost was $2089 and I did the prep work of protecting everything from overspray. Would have been less money if we skipped the chips.

  • Those Rhino/Line-x type coatings are based on what the required mils are. Do you want 45 mils, 60 mils, 80 mils, etc. The installer has to figure out area to spray and at how many mils. Material is where you incur the expense because it doesn't require much more labor to spray more mils. Polyurea coatings are a high solids, fast set system that doesn't require multiple passes. Just slow the gun down a little.

    If you are looking for a Line-X type of coating on your roof, check with a fluid applied roofing company… i.e.: Roam Roofer. Usually foam contractors will spray polyurea as well. I would suggest using a coatings manufacturer that has manufactured their coatings for roofing for a while. Two of the tops are VFI http://volatilefree.com/single-ply and Gaco Western http://www.gaco.com/urethane.html but there are many polyurea blenders out there.

    For you DIY folks, there are actually some 2-part polyurea kits out there you can pick up to use on your own.
  • I don't mean to steal your topic, but has anyone ever looked into doing their own fiberglass roof?
