I think it came out great. Did the bed, rails, flares, and valence. This stuff is pretty goopy and thick and it covers pretty well, I still have yet to bolt back in the stuff in the bed, but it looks amazing. I took my sweet time prepping and taping off...I must say thumbs up. What really sold me on this was I saw my co-workers truck and he did it a year ago...it still looked very good. I was only worried about the longevity.

Anyway...pics will do the talking.

 

Not bad, I hope you didnt put it on thick or it'll crack. Also it may fade in front of your eyes. Looks good though.

 

Looks good! But looks like a bear to wash that thing now. What kinda mitt to you use?

 

looks good ill be doing mine this summer

 

looks good, bout how long did it take you to do it?

You got me considering this now...

 

make sure you get the UV protectant or it will fade. I have had mine for a year and a half and it is all faded, I didnt use the UV protectant. When I recoat I will put it on then. I I missed a couple spots. Its not really faded exactly more like just not shiny.

 

How much did you use? Cost? and how long? I want a bed liner bad. And I enjoy DIY.

 

probs for DIY but never would i do it.. man it amazes me how thin it is compared to my Rhino...

and few guys up here did theres and its peeling bad.. but we have alt harsh weather

 

Raptor Liner is another good one guys around $100 and its a 2 part liner with a bed spraying gun.

 

Looks good Ricky, you ever use that other stuff I gave you? I'm curious about the texture of it versus the Herc. How long did it take you?


Because they probably did it wrong.

 

doubt it he had the body shop at the dealer he works at do it i think. that rubber coatings usually dont like neg degree winters up here

 

The weather is one thing I'm worried about, when summer hits I'll be 115+° here and I wanna know this'll hold up...

 

looks really good, now youve had practice and can come do mine

 

Mine took a gallon, At the time it was $100, now it is around $80. The rest of the supplies cost me around $25. Minie has held up great. I dont really use my bed for much more then hauling camping supplies. I just got sick of looking at all the scratches.

I havn't had any problems with mine. I live in Minneapolis and we get 115* to -20*. When you prep like this its never gonna come off:

 

Come on up ill do it for ya!

 

herculiner is great if you dont plan on hauling anything... Ive done 7 trucks so far and every one of them the stuff peals off... not to mention people love to peal the **** off when they look at it

 

looks really good, but for $300 you can get it professionally done which comes with a lifetime warranty. guess if your bed only sees light use you dont need it, but mine is 5 years old now and i have had it redone a few times at no cost.

 

agree mine was done in 2001 from the original owner and still is holding great. so its 8 years old. i am sold on Rhino

 

It would be nice if it was only $300. I was quoted by rhino for $475 under the rail and $575 for over the rail. Line-X was $500 over the rail and no discount for under the rail.

If you prep correctly you wont have problems with peeling. I took the scowering pad that came in the kit and threw it way, and bought myself a wire wheel for the drill.

 

Yea mine was rhino lined back in 2000 and still looks brand new.

 

you have to shop around at multiple stores my GF dad has had 4 Rhino jobs done 2 on his S10's and 1 chevy 1500 8ft bed and one F-150 6ft bed

he paid just over $350 for the over rails on the s10's and $450 for his chevy and $400 for his f-150 non rails...

 

i want a bed liner like this but i haul wood every weekend and im afraid it will just peel off once i get a new bed im thinking rhino lining it

 

X1000. My pops did it on his f350 a couple years back and now it looks like total crap!

 

Nice, I never would have thought to do the valance. Got any pics of the entire valance? You can't just tease like that.

 

That came out really good Ricky, nice job! Get a full truck shot, I'm still iffy on that valance but I want to see the entire thing.
