Spraying Voodoo Liner Coatings can be an incredibly satisfying DIY project, transforming your vehicle with just a few coats of our bed liner to a whole new super-cool look. However, even though Voodoo liner is a water based product, the process of applying the Voodoo coating is pretty straightforward, the curing process is less straightforward than it seems. If you’ve ever experienced problems when painting your home during cold winter months or on a hot summer’s day, you know that the culprit may very well be the climate!
When it’s too cold, water-based bed liner paint can become thicker and more viscous, making it harder to apply. The coating may also take significantly longer to dry, leading to a higher chance of imperfections and curing issues. On the flip side, when temperatures soar, the bed liner can dry too quickly, causing uneven marks and an inability to blend properly for a uniform finish. Nobody wants their vehicle resembling a patchwork quilt of different drying rates!
Ideally, you want to apply the Voodoo Liner Bed Liner Coatings in temperatures between 15°C and 29°C. This sweet spot ensures that the bed liner dries at a constant rate, allowing for a smooth, professional finish.
So, how can you dodge these temperature-related bed liner pitfalls you may ask?
First, always check the weather forecast before starting your project. If the temperature is outside the ideal range, consider postponing. If you’re working indoors, you have a bit more control; use heaters or fans to create a stable environment. Lastly, don’t forget to read our manufacturer’s guidelines on each of our products for specific temperature recommendations. By paying attention to these details, you can ensure your Voodoo project is a success, leaving you with a scary-cool, evenly dried coatings that you can proudly show off to your mates.
