Default Duplicolor Bed Armor

http://www.bedarmor.com/

The only bed liner on the market with Kevlar.

I'm very interested.

What are your thoughts?

If it is the same stuff they were selling about 5 years ago, then it is very thin and doesn't wear very well.

It looks okay for someone looking for a bargain but it doesn't show enough quality and detail of how their job came out. Textured coatings are a beach to get a uniform looking finish unless it is sprayed on and I speak as a pro painter. IMO I don't think it would be wise to use this or anything like it on a 30-40k vehicle unless you are not concerned with the finish. It maybe strong and a good choice for a used vehicle but I'd still do some serious research on it! And for anyone trying a do it yourself job like this, you had better do a sample of the product on a good size piece of the same type of material you plan to use it on just to be safe and satisfied. Thanks for the info...it is pretty interesting and well worth looking into! EDIT: BTW, one gallon will barely do one coat much less two coats, and if you look closely at the other extra pics you will see an irregular popcorn finish, if you can deal with that go for it, lol!.

That's what I did . I put the bed liner on to protect from dents and the undercoating underneath the liner.
