With these being predominately single cab designs, total encapsulation requires just 2 gallons of LizardSkin-CI and 2 gallons of LizardSkin-SC. If you feel you need just a little bit more of each product to address a problem area, remember, we also package in one-gallon pails.
We do not recommend using either LizardSkin coating as a bed liner (though you could coat the underside of the bed with LizardSkin-SC if you rattling is an issue).
RV’s, Sprinter Vans, ProMasters, and Transits come in all different shapes and sizes. With the cargo vans, you are typically looking at 8-10 gallons of LizardSkin-SC and 8-10 gallons of LizardSkin-CI for total encapsulation of the cargo area.

Jeeps and other 4×4’s typically require just 2 gallons of each the LizardSkin-CI and LizardSkin-SC. If you have a hard top, you may want to consider ordering an extra gallon of the LizardSkin-CI to reduce the radiant heat from the sun and keep your head cool!
Check out LizardSkin TopCoat for a protective layer on your floor pans in the event you want to have a glossy, easily washable surface.
These beasts from the 60’s and 70’s are a bit bigger than your deuce coupes, so they require a little more product. Common quantities for total encapsulation is 4 gallons of LizardSkin-CI and 4 gallons of LizardSkin-SC.
For total encapsulation, this type of vehicle requires 3 gallons of LizardSkin-CI and 3 gallons of LizardSkin-SC. This includes the wheel wells where LizardSkin-SC will help prevent starring and reduce noise issues even more!
