Hey folks... Has anyone here used the new Duplicolor Bed Armor with Kevlar? I was thinking about lining the bed of my '84 with it and was hoping to find someone who had actually used it since it's a fairly new product. I saw some other sites with guys saying it was tougher then Herculiner, but I would rather trust some opinions here.

Thanks

 

a buddy of mine used it in the bed of his tundra and it looks good. i was planning on putting in the bed of my truck but could not find the stuff anywhere so i just bought herculiner. i cant really see a difference between the 2 just by looking at em. hoped that helped man

 

That helps a lot... If I pay for it online at Advance Auto, I have a $20 off coupon I can use and get the whole kit for $59. Thanks again...

 

no problem man

 

i have heard that the duplicolor has no smell. the herculiner has one of the worst smells and takes forever to fade away. other than that get the uv no fade protector.

 

From what I understand, the Duplicolor Bed Armor with Kevlar has the UV protestant already in it. I saw it on a Bed Armor commercial online yesterday.

 

The duplicolor definetly has a smell to it when applied. I would recommend wearing a resperator when applying it. It stuck up my whole garage for about a day when i did my cab floor.

 

Don't get it on your hootus

 

honestly the duplicolor smelt worst than the herculiner. we basically put our liners in at the same time and neither stink now

 

I -just- did a duplicolor bed armor with kevlar application on my beat to heck 91 pickup bed. I applied it in my car port with one open wall, and it def had odor, but it wasn't overpowering. I think it looks pretty frikkin good... I paid 99 bucks at Autozone, the only place in washington that appeared to have any in stock. Duplicolor currently has a 25 dollar mail in rebate for bed armor on their website through sept 2010

I used about 3/4 of a gallon, I applied a thinner tack coat and then a mega thick rolled on coat. You need to go slow with the carpet roller they provide or stuff flies everywhere. I went along the ribs first lengthwise, and then across after. Masked up the sides of the truck and did the deck rails, and around the tail lights. I have enough leftover for some touch up or another thick coat. From the manual you can apply this directly to cured material and it bonds no problem.

 

Used the truck for a few weeks. This stuff is awesome. Love it. Can't beat it, esp. for the money.

 

check Al's bedliner, im trying to get some todo my truck

 

I actually saw Al's in my search, but I haven't seen it on anyone's truck. The Bed Armor is waaay too thick to spray, so I figured thicker = better

 

For me, I don't have access to a good enough compressor to spray right now.
