Not to put down Rhino, but here in Denver Rhino costs about twice as much. On top of that when you go to the Linux place they rub a piece of line-x against a piece of rhino and the Line-x turns the Rhino into grated cheese. On another interesting note on Dateline last night they featured two government buildings that they now paint with Line-x to help them withstand bomb explosions, pretty cool stuff. I don't have either and I will probably opt for the roll on DIY liner for my restore project.
Rhino coating or Line-X???

I wonder is TJDIV still has pics of his 45 wagon he can put up here....
Hey this had answered a lot of questions of mine also. thanks. I have a question to go along with this. The SOB I bought my cruiser from had half ass rolled, I believe it was herculier or something, in the cab, well he didn't patch any of the rust holes in the floor board just rolled right over them. I have heard if you don't cut out the rust and patch it then it will continue to rust the metal internally inside that herculiner. Now I do realize the under side isn't coated so that could be a problem with new rust comin in, but will the old rust eat away at the good metal. I'm plannin on doin some refabbin of the floors and stuff, just wonderin if it's a concern or not. Also what will take herculiner off I would like to take his s***ty job off, redo the floors and then do it right.
I did my entire tub this summer with Herculiner. Do a good job prepping and make sure it is nice and rough. I did two coats of POR-15 first, then scuffed it up quite a bit, then rolled two coats of Herculiner. I used one quart of POR-15 with about half left after the two coats (the underside is my next project), and one gallon of Herculiner with just a little left. Herc rolled on real nice, I can touch it up if needed for free, and it looks good. Cost me just under $100 for both products and a few disposable paint brushes. Best value yet.
If you are even contemplating durabak or Herculiner do not roll it on. I was just goin to roll it but the results looked marginal at best. Instead I got an undercoating gun for 20 bucks and sprayed it in one afternoon. Very very clean looking compared to rolling it IMO. I did 3 coats on my floor and it seem very durable for the 100 bucks it cost me.

Herc and Durabak are very similar but are you sure they are the exact same???? Can you substantiate that? It would be interesting if they are exactly identical with all the opinions of one being better than the other. Dig the gray BTW.
PO Rhinoed my rig. its nice and I like the texture. Buddy of mine Line-Xd his truck and it looks nice but is a bit abrasive. Either way, do the prep and you will be happy. Find a good shop that will garauntee its work and go for it.
The guy at Durabak told me that hurculiner is there product marketed under the heculiner name by another company. I rolled my hole cruiser, and nobody can tell that I rolled it on, they think I sprayed it. If you can spary it on, that is much easier. I had all my part`s sand blasted, and that made the surface perfect.http://www.nonslipcoating.com/. They came down in price, I paid $130 a gallon with the UV resistant.Chase77 said:Herc and Durabak are very similar but are you sure they are the exact same???? Can you substantiate that?

Hey look!
A bedliner thread!
If you're after a certain color, go with Durabak. Go to that nonslipcoating website and get the 800 number, call and ask for Jake.
DO NOT roll it on. Total waste of time. Get a bedliner spray gun and spray it on. You can do all the prep work at home for the job if you don't have a shop, and roll it to a shop with a compressor to spray it. PREP work is key. The end product will only look as good as the surface below.
You can PM me all you want about doing this. It was a bitch on my 45LV, but I liked it. I'm doing 2 Jeeps this weekend I think.
Here's a pic of mine, and a link:

Also, you should be able to get (depending on color) a VERY good price on the stuff.
ALL of mine, the Black, White, and Blue was under $400.

I had to roll mine, my garage is only 8.5 feet wide where I built my cruiser. and it turned out completely even.

Good to know.
I too thought hard about how to it nicely, I would:
- Remove all the seats and all accessories inside by myself.
- Sand it down a bit to clean up surface by myself.
- Fill up all the holes left there by machine screws by myself since I can weld now.
- Mask what ever need to be masked myself.
- Prime it.
- Call AAA to have it tow to local shop to have it LineX'ed. Then have it tow home.
