Bed liner blind idea?

I had an idea and wanted any opinions you may have. Has anyone considered using a light weight wood like paneling or even card board and coating it with the paint on bed liner? I thought it might make for a light weight long lasting box blind. I considered making it in panels that would stack flat for storage or transport.

Yes, I've seen it used a couple of times.

I build custom blinds and one guy told me not to paint his when I was through. He said he had "other plans". He was the service manager at a Chevy dealer at the time and had his bedliner guy spray the whole exterior! I'm guessing it would have cost you or I $1500-2000, but it probably only cost him the material.
My blinds are all wood, but I build them better than most custom cabinets. They'll last 15yrs+ with a good paint job, but that sucker will make the next ice age! LOL!

The other way I've seen it used was to seal up a roof. I think that was more of the do it yourself job with the paint on material.

It should work, but to be honest 3-4 good thick coats of a quality exterior latex will probably do as good a job.

It would be nice on the inside for sound though.

Give it a shot and let us know how it turns out!

Not sure how it would react to wood, I dont think carboard would be a good idea. I have been thinking about using it on mine, which has metal sign board for the siding.

Yes, let us know how it works out.

Something that might work better and be cheaper than the bedliner and possibly last just as long would be that sealer that you paint on the top of mobile homes and camper trailers.

I can't think of the name of the stuff, but I bought it at Home Depot.

I did the roof on my camper a couple years ago and it wasn't all that expensive and it just rolls on with a roller.

Thought about that use on a blind when I did the trailer but haven't had the opportunity to try it.

Seems you could just add what ever color paint you want to it since it's white.

Yep, that stuff would be cheaper and it would work.

Took me a while to remember it but I believe this is it.

I did the entire top of a small camper trailer with three coats, and used only a little over a gallon, but I slopped it on also.

my friend built his stand last year with thin paneling and painted it with the bed liner stuff. he bought the paint at autozone and so far it has held up. there is no sign of moisture doing any damage. i though he was crazy for doing it but so far its holding up great. it still looks brand new

If u use lightweight plywood make sure you use plenty of screws so it doenst bow out between screws. The bedliner stuff works great but I would be tempted to use the roofing material it is alot cheaper.
