how much does it cost to get a stone guard sprayed on the bottom 8 inches of my 1997 gmc Z71.?

Question

were can I have it done and how much does it cost.

Answer 1

Way cheap! Go to Home Depot-maybe lowes too, but I know HD has it. Buy the bed liner stuff. It's black, cost less than $20 a quart(that's enough to do the strip, probably) and rolls on. It goes on close to 1/16" thick and looks professional(my son-on-law put it on the shower floors in his rent houses and it looks really good. Just mask off the area to treat. make real sure the line of demarcation is straight. and put it on. Read the label about what prep work you might need to do. But, you should get out for less than $30.
Another option would be to put stainless steel on that area. JC Whitney www.jcwhitney.com will have that to put on(it just sticks on), another option would be to put on a clear plastic tape( it can be purchased in 5 3/4" and 8" by different lengths. It's about 4mil thick and realllly tough(they put it on the front of the big motorhomes to protect them) it's available at jc whitney and also pep boys(I think)

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!! what ever you do, if you do it yourself, make sure the area to be treated is clean and DRY. You don't want any moisture or debris trapped under what ever you put on. I'm wanting to put the clear stuff on the front of my car(and get rid of the bra), but it has so many twists and turns and grills etc tha it sorta intimidates me, but I haven't found anyone who installs it on the front of cars. Straight runseven with curves) are pretty easy, but the front end of a pointy car, and all the openings in the dash. A Z71 should be pretty easy.

Look for a body shop that does the spray in bed liners. Can get an 8 foot box done for less than $200, so I am sure they could do the bottom of your truck. May cost more if you want it painted over to match your truck.
