I use Rustoleum truck bed liner in a can... it's the best spray can stuff you can get. I paid $8 per can but its worth it and you can stretch a can pretty far... the ruberized stuff is a waste of time unless you want to redo it every month or so (it peels right off). The Rustoleum doesnt have much texture but it has enough.. Almost like there's a fine grain sand in it... And it's tough...

your only looking for spray products? i would say duplicolor spray bedliner is you best bet. i used herculiner(available at pep-boys) on my floor and mas does that stuff hold up to my beatings. just make sure you have a good clean surface to paint. scuff it up with sandpaper and then use some paint thinner to wipe it all down. to make sure you get all the oils out, like from your fingers and stuff.

Well my guess is that it probably weighs about 10 lbs a gallon, so if it takes 3 gallons, probably about 30 lbs, if it takes 5 gallons, 50 pounds, you get the idea of it.

I doubt it would make much of a weight difference. Its not a whole lot heavier than paint, and people don't usually worry a whole lot about how much their new paint job weighs.

Just wanted to give a update about my experiance thus far using the Plasti-Kote truck bad liner (Gallon / Roll and Brush on)

Its been close to 3 or 4 weeks now, and all is good except for some plastic parts that I don't think I ruffed up enough. Pretty much all my prep was done with a wirewheel. I had to order a new fender flare, and the one I got was painted white with a clearcoat. My stock ones were the unpainted, black plastic ones. I scuffed up the new fender flare pretty good I though with the wire wheel, but its starting to flake off there. I am gone do sand it down with some 180, and redo it. Also, one of the rear bumper caps, it is starting to peel. I may have forgot to hit that with the wire wheel. (That's my guess anyways, because it is sticking to all the other bumper end caps). And lastly, I painted part of the roof rails with it, and it is also coming off there. Again, just failure to scuff it up. On the body though, it is rock hard. Took a screwdriver to it just to test a little spot, and it is hard as a rock.

So the key with the stuff is most definately prep! I made sure to take the shiney out of the paint and scuff it up good, and it stuck for the most part. Where the clear coat was newer, or didn't scuff it up, didn't really stick.

Yes, it definitely helps to prep good. I took all paint off. It looked like it was wrapped in tin foil . Try to creat as much surface area as possible for the stuff to stick to.

Default Door Jambs?

Hey "The Black",
What did you do to the door jambs of your jeep. Are they covered in liner too? Pictures would be great. Thanks.

Bedliner if at all possible. I have not done mine yet but I have plans to cut my fenders, build my own fender flares and front/rear bumpers. Once I get the fenders trimmed I want to do a solid line from the front to back on each stide starting at the front of the wheel well all the way back 2-3 inches wide with bed liner.
