Hollis Prism2 Cover

Haven't had it in the water yet, but decided to try to improve my protective shell. It was all scratched up & looked terrible, still quite functional, though. I used several coats of spray- on truck bed liner. Seems to look good for now.

Tammy, I will be interested to hear how it holds up. Mine is in the same condition and I have considered bed liner also.

I will be taking it to the FL caves in about a month. Should be a worthy test.

Looks good. I will also be watching to see how it holds up. I have been wreck diving lately with mine and the cover is really getting beat up. I consider it a badge of honor though....

Eventually I know I will need to cover it and thought about the spray-on bedliner path.

Doesn't look like it will hold up very well. It got some bad scuffs the other day, just being set up against a block wall at the local YMCA. Well,.... was worth a try,... It was a beat up shell, so no harm done.

Next time try car undercoating, Dupli-color makes the one I have used and it has been on for 100+ dives in caves and wrecks. It gets scratched but the unprotected cover would have been shredded. Also, install hard foam at the bottom so the cover does not flex when place on its back. -Eric

Here are 2 pictures of the shell after 2 days in Ginnie,... Not the best of results. I would say a failure IMO.

LOL dive it like you mean it. Good Job! Nice pictures! The scratches add character - it shows you actually use your gear.
