Default Huge Pain but saved $450 on bedliner(pics)

okay so i have been trying to find the best price on line-x and the bestr i have been able to come up with is $500 for over the rails. well that was too much plus i had the oem hemi plastic liner. anyways i was watching gears yesterday and stacy david used this on a truck. its callled Dupli-color Bed Armor with kevlar. So i went and picked some up and got to work. it was very labor intensive and took between 4 and 5 hours. i think it looks very good for a DIY kit, and for saving so much money.

How much prep did you do for it? I know that a lot of guys have tried these home kits with mixed results. Most have had a problem with chipping or flaking due to poor prep.

it took me about an hour and a half to sand every square inch of that dang bed by hand, it was tiring. and it was cleaned extremely well afterwards.

Here is a link to a vid of the whole process http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1210699474526, let us know how it holds up. I got line-x b/c I know it will hold up well since my dad has had it on his truck for 10 years, but if this stuff holds up even close to line-x it's a good value.
