has anyone used the do-it-your-self paint on bed liners like herculiner or any other brands? i am debaiting doing it myself, but dont know if i should just pay and have it done by a professional and get the lifetime guarenty.

 

its not that hard to do .... im guessing your going with the roll on kind

 

herculiner works quite nicely, but you need to be careful to keep it off your hootus

 

The 2 spray on kinds at walmart aren't too bad; the 3M stuff has more of a sandpaper texture, while the generic has more of a rubbery feel. I use those to prevent rust, then have my drop in liner over that. best of both worlds

 

I've used herculiner on my truck and if I had to do it all over again, I would've just saved up for LineX instead. One day of hauling a couple bikes in the bed and I get chips in the Herculiner. Just do it right the first time and never look back IMO.

It took me about 6 hours just to do my bed FWIW.

 

it all depends on what kind of quality your looking for, if you want no issues save for the linex, its a very durable product

 

One more vote for the Line-X

 

the dupla color ÅÅÅÅ sucks, it chipped after a week of drying and like 3 solid coats, id get it done by a pro or the bondo or hurculiner stuff.

 

Have only used the 3m brand, but sold that truck about a week later. However I do know that Rhino Line is VERRRRYY good. I have several buddies with it, and we've abused the heck out of the truck beds. A friend also has his yamaha Grizzly atv coated with it. I have seen the fenders folded over and almost in half. Has been 3 years or more, and it looks brand new.

 

After lots of research and with my limited budget, I'm going with Durabak. Relatively easy to apply and relatively cheap... works for me.

 

I used the duplicolor....its not the best, but I don't think I sanded enough......the paint just wouldn't come off. I scuffed as best I could. I think it'll be fine with some touch up on the spots that got scrapped by the come a long.
