Default Brush on bed liner

I took out the bedliner that was on my truck when I bought it, and bought a brush on liner called Herculiner. I was very impressed with it. It went on fairly easy, when following the directions. I will probably buy another quart of it, to touch up a few spots I missed. For the price, 89.95, it seems well worth the time and price.

Btw, how do I post a pic of it here...I have them in my photo gallery?

Yeah, I`d recommend it to anyone...its much cheaper than getting a spray on. But I suppose you gotta be able to use a paint brush and roller. It supposedly won`t chip, fade, or peel.

One of my troops must be related to your college kid. My troop spent over a month (just during lunch) sanding his entire bed down to bare metal using only sand paper, no power tools involved. After he got the whole thing sanded down he painted the bed liner. I looked like a retarded blind monkey finger painted it too.

it looks good. i've got a gallon of it, but i've been afraid to use it for fear of making an irreversable mess. if you crawl around yours on hands and knees, does it eat you up with sharp edges, or is it a semi-smooth texture like a line-x or rhino ?

Nice Job Bryan!

Hehe Pirata,
I will give him credit for the sanding part. Sounds like he was determined.
As for the application, yep theres one in every squad. LoL

I've put it on another truck before. It looked pretty good -- certainly great for the money invested, but after seeing it about 2 years later I'd probably used a drop-in liner. It hasn't peeled but can be scratched off by dragging heavy things in the bed. The surface is kind of rough; moreso than the spray liners seem to be. I've touched it up using the spray-type bed liner material which makes for quick and easy maintenance.

After having this and a plastic liner, I'm sticking with the Mopar plastic liner in this truck. More convenient and will last the life of the truck. In 2001 I removed one from a 92 GMC truck that we bought new. The rest of the paint had peeled off the truck (GM paint issues of the era) but everything under the liner was shiny and new.
