Snookered - Duplicolor Bed Armor (1 Viewer)

[little_joe]

Duplicolor Bed Armor is supposed to be a very tough coating reinforced with Kevlar.

I'm here to tell you it's crap.

Following the instructions to a T, I applied 2 coats, let it dry for several days. If I look at it, it peels off. I can actually pry off the texture pieces with a fingernail and peel off the coating.

Placing sliders on jackstands results in the coating falling off. Should be nice when I run it over a rock or into a tree.

It looks like crap too. Someone said "black mud".

Anyway, Rust Bullet is awesome to work with and totally worth it, imho it beats Zero Rust hands down - and is so much easier to use than POR15. Hopefully it'll be as tough as POR.

BumpIt step sliders ftw! Love 'em.

I myself have tried most if not all off the shelf liners and have not found any really worth anything for what i needed. I had a professional one sprayed into my dually with the Kevlar and it was so bad after awhile i ended up telling them to just give me a drop in liner to put over top of it. I am pretty tough on my trucks though.

U-POL Raptor Black has held up very well on my fenders. it has chipped off a little on my sliders, but i think that has been mainly due to my driving stlye.

I had the same issue with Duplicolor. The stuff is absolute CRAP. I did have good luck with hurculiner though. My dad sprays his trailers with this stuff called Scorpion...same as most of your line-X type coating. It is pretty cheap as well.

Now that raptor stuff has held up nicely on my 45. But arround here you can only get it from a few paint shops and not your local yocal auto parts places.

Eric, I totally forgot about U-Pol! I should have used this.

I've used herculiner in my old *eep. It has still held up well - but is a pain to try & clean. Always a little dirty looking.

I like my POR-15 primer, POR-15 metal fill, and herculiner combo...
