Looks kinda Gnarly but sick. It looks like its somewhat uneven. Im planing on getting a MC rear bumper and sliders and not sure on a front bumper but I do know that they are getting line-xed.

looks like your truck has been to hell, ran over all the evil dead, and then roasted them over an open flame like marshmellows.

- giving the effect that if anyone does bump into you, they will get the fire and brimstone treatment too .

i friggen love em.
makes my rusting-smittybuilt double wrap look like sunday ribbons.

the only problem with that is as soon as u hit something it scrapes it off in chunks....leaving the bumper with, well, a chunky appearance that is harder to touch up.

I have some on my sliders...It sticks great on the top and works EXCELLENT for traction but the sides are a different story..

spray paint is much easier to touch up

It holds up pretty well unless it's in the sun. If it's in the sun, they've got some sort of UV-treatment you need to add to it to keep it from fading.

I prefer Krinkle coat in a spray. Good traction, nice finish, cheap, very easy to clean, and touches up nicely. I haven't used Herculiner myself but it looks like Black Krylon with coarse sand added to it, and I guarantee there is a rock out there just itching to show you how tough it really is.
