I sprayed black bed liner onto the custom camera mounts I made from aluminum extrusion and brackets. The coating was one stage of fitting those mounts to the roof rack.
The security cameras needed custom mounts built around the extrusion and bracket arrangement on the roof rack. I included black Herculiner aerosol in the materials for finishing those mounts.
The camera project involved adjusting mounting holes and adding brackets as well as coating the pieces. The finish followed the shape and assembly work on the custom mounts.
Finishing the Custom Camera Mounts in Black

My Takeaway from This Job
My aerosol bed-liner use was the black finish on small custom camera mounts. The coating-stage and fitted-camera photographs show two stages of the same fabrication job.
I used the coating during fabrication and returned to it after fitting the rear mount.

Herculiner’s aerosol format is intended for touch-ups, cut-in work and smaller coated parts. The manufacturer lists trim, bumpers and wheel wells among its applications. That small-area format fits the scale of brackets and mounts better than opening a large roll-on can for every touch-up. Preparation still includes cleaning and scuffing the chosen surface. Keep the aerosol’s directions with this can: the quart roll-on product uses a different application process and separate installation instructions.
Is The Aerosol Applied Like The Quart Roll-On Product?
The aerosol sprays directly from its can. The quart product is spread with application tools, so its roll-on instructions are a separate reference.

Two Alternatives to Compare
Rust-Oleum truck-bed coating is supplied in quart cans. The U-POL RAPTOR kit uses a spray-gun coating system. Those formats involve a different amount of setup from the aerosol I used on the small camera-mount assemblies.
This black truck-bed coating is supplied in quart cans for coating work. It forms a textured finish and offers a different application format from an aerosol can.
