Just this correction back from the place when I asked about the over-the-rail price:

"Oops... sorry... that is the over-the-rail-price. Under is $450."

Do any of you know where I could Buy the U-Pol Raptor liner in a store? Or do you have to buy that stuff online?

Most people dont prep the surface properly since they feel they are somehow damaging the bed by taking a wirewheel and tearing through the paint. Did you scuff the paint up real deep with a drill motor and wire brushes like they recommend? I guess if your scraping a lot of heavy metal objects against it I could see it not holding up.
I did mine two and a half years ago and it held up great besides the fading....I even did my lower rockers.
I also thing the herculiner seems plenty rubbery to me....mine it not hard and slippery like the cheapy pt like stuff I've seen.

I mixed 1 pint herculiner with 1 pint semi gloss black tractor paint, and sprayed it threw a sand blasting gun.

All in all it cost less than $100 to paint my whole truck bed and rockers. Ive even painted a couple of friends vehicles the same way.

And a year later it still looks good, with only a couple rock chips on the rockers and a few scratchs from throwing tow chains in my bed.

I work part time at a body shop. This is what we use now.

http://www.alsliner.com/index.php

We where using the Raptor or SEM but like this better than the Raptor and less expensive than the SEM. Prices have gone WAY up in the last couple of months.
Should be able to get Raptor or SEM at a local jobber.

I put Duplicolor Bed Armor in my bed about 2 yrs ago, looks great (except where I didnt prep great, its chipped off) Its got good texture and a rubbery feel to it. Not bad for 5 hrs of work and 85 bucks.
