Herc'd the floor

[496truck]

I've been working on installing newer seats from an 02 Silverado.  While I've had the interior gutted I've been repairing stress cracks in the floors, filling holes that are no longer being used, and redoing the body seam sealer in the corners of the floors.  While I had this going on I decided it was the right time to Herculine the floor.  Here are some pics...

Before.  The black spots are POR Patch which I use for seam sealer and to seal up welds, it's also good for sealing up trim screw holes no longer in use.  The reddish brown is a rust primer I used on an old repair the previous owner did.



After.

looking good.  Something I will be doing come spring.  Got weld in some patches first tho...

[496truck]

Yeah, definitely wait till it's warmer out.  This is taking way too long to dry.  I'll prob do the cargo area this spring/summer too.  Just had to get this floor area done first so I can get the new seats in and drive this thing again.

How is the herculiner holding up? I'm thinking of going this route with the CC.

I can't speak for his blazer but mine is holding up decent.  I have it on my bed rails and steps.  It will fade to a flat black if exposed to the uv of the sun.  There are better products out there for UV protection but for the cab or floor herc should hold up good.

I have heard good stuff about lizard skin and durbak(sp?)

So far, so good.  I have zero complaints or issues thus far.  No signs of wear even where my big feet land.  No signs of it maybe peeling up anywhere either.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.  Follow the directions.  Keep everything clean.  And use the Xylene they recommend to clean everything before application of the Herc.  It took me 1 gallon to do the footwell area of the K5, basically from the bottom front of the rear seat to the firewall, with only a very small amount left over.  Maybe that'll give you an idea of how much you'll need for the CC.  I have not done the "bed" yet.

Thanks for the update guys.

Sounds like i'll need two gallons to do the floor.

[496truck]

2 gallons may be a bit much, unless you have something else to use it on.  It doesn't store very well after the initial opening.  I would think 1 gallon and 1 quart should do the floor of a CC.
