How many dents/scratches does your truck have?

A typical 6.5 foot bed sprayed to proper specifications will weigh around 50 pounds. The paint that is mixed with the Line-X to give it color might weigh ten pounds but a full covering of Line-X probably weighs quite a bit.

 

All the damage came from the prev. owner of my truck... had a boat that somehow rammed into the tailgate

 

Bush rubs on both sides slightly scratched..... my gate has a dent i accidentally did with a pallet. two deep scratches i did on the bed with my dirtbike, made a little dent with my longboard. But it still looks really good when its washed, better yet custom texture's your never going to see on another truck

 

None.

 

Plenty of pinstriping and enough dents (hail damage) and chips in the hood that I just herculined it rather than repair or replace it.

 

You do realize bed's are sprayed to 1/4" thick material..... No one would make their entire truck that thick of spray. I'm clearly off on the 10 pounds, but I don't see it being 200+..

 

dude that is SICK!

 

Yes I do realize that beds are sprayed to 1/4" thickness and bodies are sprayed to 1/8''. I was just guessing on the 200lbs it may be less. A guy claiming to be a Line-x dealer on another forum says that Line-x weighs .7 lbs per square foot at 1/8 thickness. If somebody enjoys crunching numbers I'm sure they could come up with a close approximation, assuming the weight is accurate.

 

A lot. I don't have any big dents, but I probably have several dozen small dents/scratches.

 

I just went outside and measured my truck, got a rough on the measurements.

I have tailgate x5 because outside once (1/8") inside x2 (1/4") and front of bed is about same size x2 (1/4").. bedside inside x4 (2 sides x2 (1/"4)) AND i have 2 measurements for bedside because I broke it up into 2 sections

(x1) hood= 41"x54.5"= 2234.5"sq
(x2) 1/4 panel= 9.5"x38"= 361"x2= 722"sq
(x2) door= 45.5"26"= 1183"x2= 2366"sq
(x2) x-cab= 22"x30"= 660"x2= 1320"sq
(x2) bedside= 14"29"= 406"x2= 812"sq
63"x17"= 1071"x2= 2142"sq
(x5) tailgate(outside 1, inside x2, front of bed x 2)= 54.5"17"= 926.5"x5= 4632.5"sq
(x2) bed (bottom)=54.5"x76"= 4142"x2= 8284"sq
(x4) bed (inner sides)= 16.5x76"= 1254"x4= 5016"sq
(x1) roof= 52"x48"= 2496"sq
-----------------------------------------------------
total square inches= 30,025" / 144"= ~208.51 sq ft

~208.51 sq ft times 0.7= 145.95#
add 15% (for creases, cracks, under bed rails, etc..)
= ~167.85#

SO TRAILMAKER HAS A VALID POINT!! Could very possibly weigh close to 200#!! AND THAT'S IF IT REALLY WEIGHS 0.7# sq ft for 1/8"

 

you need a hobby

 

Lots of racing stripes. And this:



And yeah, I know it's a 1g thread--I just had to share

 

Haha, I have plenty. I've been thinking about it every time I see this thread and it's been bugging me. It only took a few minutes

 

Haha thanks for running those numbers. I figured it would only take a few minutes, someone just had to motivate and do it.
