line-x/herculiner tube bumpers?

Has anyone line-x'ed or herculiner or any of the other line-x like applications on tubular bumpers I have the all-pro front and rear and was wondering how well it went on tubes and how much abuse they can take b4 coming off. Line-X wants a couple hundred to do mine and dont want to pay that! Such thing as an aerosol type? I know they make spray on rubber undercoating what about bedliners?

herculiner

I used herculiner on my stock (crome) bumpers, grill, 6" section under doors, fender flares, and door handles. I basically put it on everything that was crome and then some. I used two coats on it all. I really like it. It has held up great. I will be putting on another coat in the spring and then the UV coat over it. It will fade if you do not use the UV coat.
To boot, a guy ran a red light as I was crossing and I ended up hitting his back bumper at a 90 degree angle. It left a bit of his paint on my herculined bumper that I brushed off and his was way torn up. I hate it for him, but he should have been paying attention to the road.

Phalanx has his herculined, he says it's easy to touch up because you don't have to mask off to touch up trail damage.

I used herculiner on my tube doors and I like how they came out. I rolled it on.
And as previously said, they are a snap to touch up:

Which would be better for the floorboard of a truck? I'm in the middle of purchasing a 83 pickup with holes in the floorboard and once I cover it, I want to re-texture it with something.
