as a paint alternative rhinoliner is an absolute no-brainer but it can go wrong really fast if you don't know what you're doing I'm gonna show you what I'm talking about on this car but then I'm gonna show you how to do it right when you're coming to paint your own piece of construction equipment oh and we're also gonna cover it for the cost of Rhino Linings so let's get stared load or the 250 is getting a rhino lining these guys are tearing her apart and they're gonna be taking her down bare bones and covering everything in Rhino liner to protect this machine I think it's perfect for a construction application let me know what you guys think of this idea now you guys already know that Rhino liner offers superior protection you're putting it in the beds of your trucks it keeps scratches off scratches lead to rust but a piece of construction equipment is absolutely no different those scratches aren't like open wounds and if you tend to use that piece of equipment offseason snow plowing it's in a highly corrosive atmosphere that salt will literally turn your piece of equipment into a rust pocket within a few years it was time for this skid loader to get a new paint job but I wanted it protected better than typical enamel paint can cover but Rhino lining is tricky especially on moving parts it literally forms a mat and as soon as the part moves it will peel the Rhino lining off the rest of the paint let me show you on my own car this is the mistake I made look at this door handle because I did not separate the line before I attempted to open the door you can see right here where I peeled up the paint if I had separated first I wouldn't have this issue right now so with Rhino lining on a piece of construction equipment you have so many moving parts that you've got to compensate for those moving parts I want to show you about what I mean with these moving parts take a look at these pins here here and here so then that part right there will be like this part but that will get covered this so that it evens it all out if you if we're I know we left it RINO lie what happened this pin this whole thing would come that's where it gets tricky you have to be very careful that any moving components on your construction equipment has a clearly defined line separating the rhinoliner from the rest of the moving component when you apply Rhino lining to a piece of construction equipment you don't actually just blindly spray over the entire machine you have to separate out all of the moving pivot points on that piece of equipment on these pivot points the machine is not Rhino lined it's actually using matching black enamel paint so let's talk about the cost of rhino lining it's actually very comparable to a high quality paint job a typical piece of construction equipment when done properly will cost you anywhere from two to three thousand dollars in today's example that was the cost for this skid loader if you were going to go out and start over from scratch but the shop doing it for you must be prepared to do more prep work they've got to be able to find and locate all of the pivot points to make sure that they separate the Rhino lining from those areas so right there you've got the wire tape and you're pulling that up and that creates a very clean line that you can blend the paint's a little better right the nice finish line yeah okay also Ryan maligning doesn't have to be black it can be any color you choose it's up to you if you have a white piece of equipment your you can have white rhino lining if you want to go a completely alternative color go for it they can mix that in at a lot of different places so let's wrap this up the benefits of rhino lining a piece of construction equipment are clear it absolutely offers superior protection over your standard paints from scratches from highly corrosive environments where your machine is exposed to high levels of salt it's actually sealed and encapsulated within that machine keeping it protected from the corrosive elements outside rhino lining is awesome very comparable in expense to a high quality paint job done the right way right aligning also can come in a variety of colors you're not limited to black so if you're thinking about Ryan or lining it make sure you understand all of the key components before you tackle it because you don't want your Ryan a lighting job to go wrong to share with me your stories about your Rhino lining experience in the comments down below god bless holic damaged can a five-pound box and nails apparently not a lot as long as you have it Rhyno line [Music]
