GatorHyde, took a lickin' and kept on Stickin'...check it out! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChevyDude · 08-31-2007, 07:39 PM

So I sprayed this guys truck two weeks ago and while he was hauling a heavy 5th wheel trailer...his Hitch ball in the truck bed let loose. So the trailer proceeded to go backwards while he continued along in his truck at 55 mph. You can see what happened to the tailgate...kinda "Taco'ed it" didn't it! So I sprayed his replacement tailgate yesterday and he said I should have the messed up tailgate to show how tough GatorHyde is, and how strong the bond is. Not anywhere has the GatorHyde started to tear or de-laminate away from where it was sprayed! Pretty cool I thought! It is now in my reception room as a show piece.

Sequoyah · 08-31-2007, 07:48 PM

any dealers down south in Albuquerque?

krue · 08-31-2007, 07:49 PM

How do I find it around here?

Piece of Work · 08-31-2007, 07:56 PM

Impressive indeed! Nothing like real world conditions to prove quality.

Nothing that the camera would have picked up. Just a very minor scuff but did not come close to tearing through.

You're product is AMAZING Alex!
Good way to showcase that with the tail gate too.

Bishops Trucks · 09-01-2007, 08:56 AM

You ought to see if they'll post that picture on there Website.
Just a thought.

eedgell · 09-01-2007, 12:09 PM

Hey ChevyDude, is your liner hard and slick when cured? Looks kinda glassy? Just asking. Some I have seen are hard, and some are more of a rubber texture.

I would say it cures pretty hard but is definetly textured. Our formula is the glossiest bedliner I have seen, but at the same time very much textured.

I have sprayed a players stick blade from the NHL's Colorado Avalanche and they would not use it if it wasn't textured...gots' to have grip!!!

Tony, you would have to call me, 303 280-3056. I will honestly answer all your questions. Is it a way to become a millionaire....ahh...NO. Not a bad job...and you are the boss. It has taken some ground pounding and a lot of verbal selling ....but I now shoot about 25-30 trucks a month. and....looking to open the next GatorHyde of Denver shop in 6 months. Fingers crossed.

Seriously, it is a great product and if you are serious call me.

Alex
