Default Herculiner-ed!!!

Got my bed done over the weekend. All in all probably took me about 10 hours to do, mostly in prep time. Here is the end result. I think this stuff is bulletproof :-p

Looks like a 6-foot bed...

Looks good, just don't do the whole truck!

Thanks for the compliments guys. It is a 6 ft. bed and I used just under the full gallon, 2 coats on there. My bed was really messed up and the bed rails were scratched up beyond repair so I decided to cover them too. I used 2" painter's tape to mark off the bed rails then laid it on. It does splatter a little bit with the roller they give you but if you have a rag and some acetone next to you, you can wipe it off any areas it might splatter too. Just don't get any on your skin. I have spots all over my arms, and it seems the only thing that will remove them is time.
