Don't have the Ram box.

 

I spent 4-5 hours on it. The longest part was sanding, cleaning, sanding, cleaning, and cleaning. Preparation is everything. It is about 1/8" thick and some parts, due to my poor skills, are thicker.

Like Oldjeep said, it is very easy to put another coat on in a few years. It also fades a little over time, but mine will be under a bed cover.

As to the blotches, there are parts that are thicker than others, but that is my fault, not the products. I should have rolled it instead of brushed it.

Overall, it should get the job done.

 

was actually talking to ramphreak sorry i should have specified

 

I've done a lot of this with my Jeeps too. I've done a few trucks too. Those pics will look blotchy while it's drying. Roll on you can get an uneven application but those pics looked like it was drying still. I use a spray gun and it's a lot easier and comes out better. Don't worry if you haven't used a gun before. It's pretty easy and forgiving. Just practice first on something and make sure you tape well. I don't use herculiner anymore. I've gone with durabak because of UV protection. Without UV prot. it gets chalky looking and faded black after a year. The other thing with both products is that it chips easily. It will wear from your feet too. It's so thin. I was thinking about going with Al's Liner since it's a mixed liner application but it doesn't look like you get the thickness of the Line-x. I wish they would make a DIY liner that matches the thickness of line-x.

 

You can spray this stuff? It is not too thick?

I have nothing against the other brands, its just the price.

The fading part is true, but mine will be covered with a tonneau. The good thing is another quart is cheap and I can keep adding coats myself.

 

Yeah you can spray it with an undercoating gun. It works very well. A lot of people like the raptor kit because it's all in one and seems to be the most durable DIY bedliner. I heard Herculiner now makes a UV protector with theirs. The only problem to date is achieving thickness that I would like because I throw some stuff in the back that would mess it up.

 

What do you throw in your bed that abuses it so bad?

I use mine for moving and travel. One day I am going to use it for engines, rear ends, transmissions, etc when I restore my Dodge Dart. I really hope it lasts until then.

 

Shovels, pitch forks, weed eaters, blowers, etc. I have a landscaping company and we did our chevy pickup a year ago and it's all scratched. It's an old pickup so I don't care. However, I don't want my new ram to get messed up.

 

I am sure that none of the spray liners are going to work for you, especially if you start to throw pitch forks and other items like that. It's just a liner, I suggest you line the bottom with the herculiner then install a bedliner.

 

Nah I will pony up the $$$ for the line-x.
