Markk96 did a great job on his truck. But reading over some reviews the Bed Armor wins out. So seeing if anyone has some thoughts on this.

Honestly imo the bed armor looks like a 5 year old painted it on. For some reason all the pics I see it looks like someone did it in 10min. The herculiner I have saw done looks like it was sprayed on and actually took time to complete.

I'm sure they both work fine it's all in the prep done before hand and skill in painting

I like the Herculiner, Dupli Color has gotten some bad long term reviews. I like how the Herculiner looks on my truck. Either one tho is all about the prep, rolling it on, or spraying it on does not take alot of time.

Sorry had it backwards. Herculiner wins out.

Looks like people prefer Herculiner over most DIY kits. The only difference I can tell is the Herculiner is a more aggressive coating. And does not have UV protection.

You can order the UV protection for it, I did, waiting for it to show up.
