good question, I wanna use the spray on stuff myself if I knew it was any good. I just know that I hate the bed liner in my 91' Chevy. The part that covers the tailgate comes loose. So, I would like to use the spray on stuff for my dodge.

The roll on liners like Herculiner get good reviews, the key is all in the prep. Good prep = good adhesion, poor prep = poor adhesion. Basically treat it no differently than if you were repainting the bed.

The problem with all 1 part bed liners is that they fade and look like ***.

You want a 2 part bedliner. I have found the cheapest to be U-pol raptor liner. Earlier this year a guy in my class used it as an undercoating on his car and it came out great.
