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

I really like the look of that. Exactly what brand of bed liner did you use? Spray or roll on? I'm looking to paint my bumpers and tire flares with bed liner and your jeep is the coolest one I've seen. Thanks a lot

Either way, spray or roll on would work. I actually just did this today. I used spray. It can work well if you really take your time. I did very thin coats and ended up doing about 10 coats (I lost count after a while). The brand I used was Duplicolor and I gotta say I like it a lot. I'll give you pictures in the next couple days if you want. As far as your fender flares, I'm not too sure that'll work well (at least with the brand I used) because it wasn't supposed to be used on plastic. Other brands may be different though

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 wonder how that lizard skin undercoating would look on the body. That stuff is really easy to spray

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

Thanks, It was a spray. The brand was Eagle.
