Sprayed at 40 PSI w/U-Pol Raptor
U-Pol comes w/enough material to do 110 sqft. I used 1/4 of the supplied material doing both sides as pictured. It was $110 tmd from http://www.tptools.com/Product.aspx?display_id=2600

mine was a spray on bedliner an off brand of Rhinoline called Eagle. In the begining it had a sealer on it, but I ran out and now its not as shiny but still looks good.

Edit: I didn't do my whole jeep like others in this thread, not really a fan of that. I just did the lower side panels. And definitely wanna do my bumpers at some point too

In the summer I wanna get the Duplicolor spray out of the cans for the bumpers, flares, and lower parts of the doors where the trim pieces are. Would that stick to the plastic on the flares and hold up enough on the body? I don't wanna go out and get expensive liner because I'm just goin for the clean look and for a little protection. Also, would I be able to put the trim pieces back on afterward? I know the surface will be a little rough, but anything can happen. I'd rather keep the trim pieces to stay different from the other white jeeps by me. I have the only limited model around me, aside from one black one that I only ever saw once sitting in a driveway. Its most likely forgotten and rusting away like many unfortunate other jeeps :/

I was planning and doing herculiner from the body line (under the window) down and the top a bright color. Month later, one drive by with a bright red top. I don't like red but it looked great! Keep the trim off!

I herculined mine about a year and a half ago. It was a pita to do and quickly faded to grey. Cleaning it was almost impossible, required a good brush and a lot of elbow grease.
I got sick of the grey and decided to rattle can it about a month ago, I've also found it's much easier to clean now that dirt doesn't get stuck in it as well.

I went silly with the last 3/4 of the product, U-Pol raptor, 2nd time spraying was really easy b/c I had done all of the tough taping the first time.
This pic you tell the new vs the stuff I applied 2 years before
Then 2 months and some dirt and you can't tell the diffference one bit
1 U-pol kit did everything you'll see below/above
