Default Additional uses for Herculine/Linex

Has anybody tried coating their side or step bars with Herculiner or one of the commercial coating products like Linex?

If so how do you like it? I am looking to coat my bull bar, step bars, and bed rails as they are beginning to show rust through the cheap powdercoating.

I'd like to do the same with mine. I've also got a fifth wheel tail gate to do. Wonder how much all of that together would cost if I did a lot of the prep work?

I used bedliner on the underside of my lincoln and it worked great (rocker panels) but be sure to rough up the surface really well or it will peal in a few months

The Original owner of my Ram did a herculiner on the bottom of the truck. I like it. Why the put a liner in the bed I don't know. This summer the liner coming out & paint on Herculiner goes in.

My brother had an 87 Power Ram that the previous owner had Rhino lined. I mean the WHOLE truck. Interior, exterior, all of it. It looked really good, but it started to peel a little. We would spray the whole thing down with Armor All extreme tire shine, that truck stood out everywhere. Especially with that 360 punched .030 over. Professionally built, dynoed about 400 at the crank. I used to drive that thing sideways until it would scare me. He always wondered why he never had any tread on the tires when I drove it.
