00:00:00.299 --> 00:00:02.091
Hey, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.091 --> 00:00:04.437
Freedom. I bought these Bates paint tray

00:00:04.437 --> 00:00:06.571
liners on Amazon and used them while

00:00:06.571 --> 00:00:08.833
rolling bedliner. They were inexpensive,

00:00:08.917 --> 00:00:10.705
worked well and were good value.

00:00:10.785 --> 00:00:11.980
They are a simple part of the

00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:13.772
setup, but it helps to distinguish the

00:00:13.772 --> 00:00:15.862
liner from the tray and roller around

00:00:15.862 --> 00:00:18.209
it. The Bates product is a molded

00:00:18.209 --> 00:00:21.080
plastic liner for a nine-inch paint-tray format.

00:00:21.134 --> 00:00:23.034
The recessed part holds the coating,

00:00:23.055 --> 00:00:24.846
and the sloped part gives the roller

00:00:24.846 --> 00:00:27.300
a loading surface. The liner sits inside

00:00:27.364 --> 00:00:29.454
the supporting tray; it is the removable

00:00:29.454 --> 00:00:31.866
insert rather than the complete roller application

00:00:31.887 --> 00:00:33.952
kit. Loading the roller and applying the

00:00:33.952 --> 00:00:35.574
coating are different stages.

00:00:35.787 --> 00:00:37.516
The tray provides the loading area,

00:00:37.579 --> 00:00:39.564
while the roller cover contacts the surface

00:00:39.627 --> 00:00:41.369
and contributes to the finish.

00:00:41.532 --> 00:00:43.409
A tray liner and a textured roller

00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:45.244
cover therefore have different jobs in the

00:00:45.244 --> 00:00:47.718
same coating setup. My van's exterior coating

00:00:47.718 --> 00:00:50.748
project involved masking and preparation as well

00:00:50.748 --> 00:00:52.401
as choosing application tools.

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:54.180
I used these Bates liners during the

00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:55.929
rolling work. My review of them is

00:00:55.929 --> 00:00:58.105
straightforward: they did their job well for

00:00:58.105 --> 00:01:00.782
an inexpensive purchase. The first comparison on

00:01:00.782 --> 00:01:02.489
my page is a Bates package that

00:01:02.489 --> 00:01:04.559
supplies a tray and liners together.

00:01:04.793 --> 00:01:06.670
The other is the Custom Coat bedliner

00:01:06.670 --> 00:01:08.143
roller kit I also used,

00:01:08.163 --> 00:01:10.780
which groups rollers, a tray and brushes.

00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.267
A liner-only pack, a tray package and

00:01:13.267 --> 00:01:15.571
a complete application kit are different shopping

00:01:15.571 --> 00:01:17.556
formats. I would start with the pieces

00:01:17.619 --> 00:01:19.454
already in my setup and the matching

00:01:19.454 --> 00:01:21.578
tray format. Thanks for watching.

00:01:21.738 --> 00:01:23.936

00:01:23.999 --> 00:01:26.005
Read the full Bates tray-liner review for

00:01:26.005 --> 00:01:28.352
the matching product, my build context and

00:01:28.352 --> 00:01:29.782
those two buying formats.

00:01:29.845 --> 00:01:32.021
The separate roller review explains my experience

00:01:32.021 --> 00:01:33.417
with the covers themselves.

00:01:33.617 --> 00:01:35.740
See you on the next project.
