Fix it till its broke!
Tried searching but didn't find much. So I'm curious what do you guys consider the best diy bedliner in two categories.

Best roll on?

Best spray on?

And what the heck best rattle can?
:D
 
I've been eyeballing the durabak system looks good. Anyone have experiance with it? How's durability and fade?
 
Just do a search on spray on bed liner and you will pull up a bunch of threads. LineX is really good. Durabak is good as well. I have a friend who works at LineX near me. He is doing my bed and my rocker guards for $275 and he has to do all the prepping before the spray is applied. I think it is a good deal for me to do it. I want the smooth finish on the rocker panels. That looks best.
 
I have Herculiner in mine. I have about 3 coats and it will take whatever I can throw at it.

Yeah, I’ve heard LineX is really good stuff if you can afford it.

Straycat- That's awesome your buddy works at LineX, $275 is a good deal, nice come-up!

Yeah for best bang for your buck, I think Herculiner is the way to go. I have had several friends use it with good results.
 
I have used Herculiner in a fullsize Bronco and it held up well.
 
My trucks only get Line-X. Nothing Ive seen even comes close, the stuff is legit.
 
I've used the duplicolor Bed Armor in a rattle-can and it actually came out pretty good. I didn't line a whole bed though, just on a bumper and body panels.

Lol, thanks, man!!! I was supposed to do it over Christmas break but when the wife had 2 weeks off for her school break we went to visit family and had them come visit us so I decided to wait until the summer....stupid me!! It would have been done already...lol
 
I love my drop-in liner. I loaded about a cord of hardwood the other day and I like being about to throw stuff in and not worry about it getting banged up. Also, I have the plastic bed rail covers and they took a beating as well.

I did my grille guard and rollbar with that, it turns a gray color with age...

I don't know what the PO put in my F150, but it's dark gray as well. And that's having a shell with tinted windows on it too.

This is what I'd like to avoid lol will for as long
as possible. I liked the durabak because of the anti slip properties. My bed is beat up already so don't care about that.
 
I painted my old truck with Durabak about 12 years ago. It lasted about 4 years til it started to fade, not too bad but kinda noticeable. It was very noticeable after 8 years, I just spray painted over it. I think they have made the uv resistance better since I bought it. It was pretty tough to scratch. All in all its pretty good for a DIY.
 
i was NOT impressed w/ the duplicolor bed armor rattle cans... i didn't like it. it worked great for the sub box but for a bed.... nah.

LineX is the way to go. i've dealt w/ a lot of bedliners and LineX always gets my vote.

Monster Liner has good reviews... really in depth install in the tub of a jeep...
