Default Durabak Bed Liners

Anyone ever heard of them or tried them. I have read about a couple of people on other sites who have used them and was wondering if anyone has experience with them. It seems like a good deal, about $120 for enough to do a short bed pickup with two coats. Comes in a lot of different colors and can be sprayed on with a regular spray gun. Also, it has a textured finish as well as additives to prevent UV fading.

never heard of them but my uncle did the DIY kit form duplicolor (well i did it.. he just watched and handed me beers) and it turned out great.. we had to get extra coating material b/c he watned it built up alot... we shot a few test peices on some metal and if it was sprayed too thing it would chip off... preping the surface is in upmost importance.. defently a weekend job...

i used a crappy old HVLP gun..(wasnt no SATA lol).. but the coating is quite thin itself and i added a LITTLE bit of reducer to it to ease it through,,, just layerd the snot out of it...obviously the texture was hard to build up..kinda had to dryspray it instead of the habitual "wet painting" like on a car with normal BC/CC painting..



ive seen some DIY kits that come with the meterial sprayer..chinsy onetime deal kinda thing but would work good i bet if your trying to DIY and save some CASH!
