2001 Nissan with GatoryHyde
CASE HISTORY:
- Customer wanted a polyurea sprayed-on bed liner instead of a urethane applied system.
- Vehicle was a 2001 Nissan lightweight pick-up truck.
- Application was winter time with temperature range in 50 degree F.
- Owner needed the vehicle the same day and wanted to haul heavy concrete pavers.
BACKGROUND:
- Owner previously had another vehicle with a sprayed-in urethane bed liner and was dissatisfied with both the cosmetics and durability.
- Owner compared GatorHyde appearance and texture to several other manufacturers in the area. He liked GatorHyde the best.
- Owner wanted a liner that could be installed in a few hours and be ready for use the same day.
- Owner also had a delivery deadline on the same day and the truck was badly needed.
INSTALLATION:
- This 2001 Nissan was first cleaned out, then the truck bed was lightly roughed up using a nylon cup brush and low speed electric buffer.
- Truck bed was then thoroughly wiped out using acetone solvent and completely masked off using a special wire trim tape paper.
- After the preparation and masking process was complete the rails and tail gate sections were primed with a fast curing primer.
- Once the truck was ready for coating, GatorHyde CG was installed using a Graco E-10 Reactor, high pressure plural component pump system.
- The entire application took less than 20 minutes to complete.
- GatorHyde CG black was applied at approximately 60 miles.

- Shore D hardness 35
- 1:1 ratio, heated and sprayed at 2000 psi
