Anyone know of a paint on rubber coating?

[gb387]

Lets see if I can make this clear as mud....

What I am looking to do is put a coating on Aluminum and/or steel, a paint on type would work best as its for an irregular surface. Something that has kind of a rubbery feel, kind of thick.

Is there such a thing?

I know there are spray can undercoating, but any other ideas?

Is the surface being painted going to be exposed to any kinds of extreme heat that would cause melting i.e. grill or oven?

If not, there are products you can brush or dip on at home that will leave a permanent rubberized coating on metal surfaces. The end result is virtually identical to that which you find on handles of some pliers and other hand tools.

Let me see if I can remember the name of the stuff or from where it came....I'll post if/when I find it.

EDIT: This is the type of product I had in mind.

Rubber Coating Product for Metal

I don't know if this is overkill for what you want, but you can buy paint on truck bed liners, similar to Line-X or RhinoLiner. One company I know of is Herculiner. You can either buy a 1 gallon kit or by the quart.

That is very close to what I had in mind and nope, no heat. I see there is a spray version, interesting!

Have you used this product? I am curious if multiple coats will allow the product to build up?

Its not all that expensive guess I could get a can, see if it works then order what I need. Thank you!

You know I kind of had that in mind at first but like you mentioned seemed like a little overkill.

Sorry for the delay in response....

No, I've not used this particular brand. Friend had a similar product in his shop...some brand that began with a "K", if I'm not mistaken. It was the liquid dip style. Don't let it dry on surfaces you don't want coated...quite a mess to totally remove it from any porous material.

Not sure on multiple layers

The spray DOES look interesting, but I know nothing other than what I read on that link.
