they might even sell it separate than the kit if your doing both rockers 1 quart may not be enough ( although I think it will) but it may be worth your while to buy the kit for like $80 with the gallon...

Auggie...how many coats are you putting on? I was thinking about 3 but I am starting to think that 2 will be enough.

a gallon + a quart are enough to put two coats on the bed so i wouldn't think it'd take much more than that.

Same here. In fact I heard that it should take less than that.

Are you planning on documenting the process step by step with photos? That would be helpful to many in the future (like me).

I also think that you should, because when summer hits i am planning on doing the same thing, but with a different product. Has anyone tried/heard of/know any who has used Grizzly Grip on either their rockers or bed? Someone i talked to used it on his 1999 dodge, but i havent talked to him in 2 or 3 months. the website is www.grizzlygrip.com

Don't roll it on, buy a schutz gun and use that. It's much easier keep it even.

I dont know I did two coats on my shortbed and one side of the truck in two coats and still have enough to do the other side left in the one gallon....and after two coats it looks pretty damn thick and even to me?... did the bed two months ago and besides turning flat (i didnt know about uv protectant) it still looks great.... my plan it to get another quart and do another coat with uv stuff though....even though the flat looks good in the bed

Yeah I was planning on doing the UV coat when I did the rockers. Other than the bed going flat has the Heculiner faded out to gray any?
