I want to use this stuff on the outside bottom half
I just did my rockers yestrday. Looks really nice. It was easy enought to get a good application using a small roller and doing two coats like they recommend. watch out though, It's freakin messy and gets on everything, even with rubber gloves, I still got some on my hands and my jeans and my driveway.....
I am thinking once i have my truck back together I will do the wheel wells.

How much doers these kits cost if you do not mind me asking?I just did my rockers yestrday. Looks really nice.

They sell a kit at Pep Boys that is $100 enough to do two coats on a truck bed.
Its a Gallon of the stuff, pluss rollers and some other stuff. They also sell the stuff only in a Qt size for $30.00. I went with that and went to Home Depot and got two of the Mini Rollers that come with their own little paint tray.

Cool...thanks
Pighead knows a little bit about this... I think Cubedweller did the rockers on his 4Runner...
Dang! That is one sweet-looking rig there...
You can often find the Herculiner on sale, maybe 70 bucks for the gallon/rollers/brush pack.
But remember, if you have to take a leak while painting, Don't be a jeeper and get it on your johnson.

I did an entire 45LV. It sucked. And as cool as it looks or "seems", it's really not.
I used Durabak on mine.
A lovely time
Sorry, had to post the old JUNK link.

I got my herculiner from autozone for $89. It's not that great of a product. After a couple months in the sun, it had lost the shine and started to fade to dark grey, and also started to shrink around corners and edges, exposing the primer underneath. Not a good alternative to spray on bed liners.

thank you....thats what i needed to know
Mine's DIY spray on, but was a lot more work compared to the roll on-able Herc, Hippo, etc.
Rattleguard Spray-On Bedliner, Auto, Boat, Industrial Use
It turns out I was quite a bit overly anal on surface prep, as the exremely high dry film thickness (up past 1/4" thick or so) allowed for great camoflage.
It hasn't faded in 1yr of AZ sun (stored in the driveway) handles moderate rock rash, and laughs at trail vegitation.

Here's a recent pic, 88.
heres another pic for you green 80 w/ bottom half black...................ppg srpay on product i believe. the pig is a spray on w/ smooth finish and zero prep
but remember prep is the key!! lots and lots of prep. IF robert left primer that may be why the herculiner failed.
The green rig is concretejungle's , hes got a thread in faq on the durabak and then a more recent thread in 80s on the sides.
I used the raptor liner before and it was pretty nice, plus you can choose finish and UV resistant or not.

it was enough for a taco bed, a set of wheels, and a toolbox and random small stuff.
