herculiner bed liner - 15/09/03 12:03 PM

yo,
i am thinking of painting the lower quarter of the x with the herculiner bedliner, getting a lot of scratches and chips and i don't want to go back to running mudflaps, eventhough they did help out. i have seen where others have done this and i think it looks as functional as it does attractive. i am cogitating taking up to the hump in the doors and possibly the wheel wells.
my question: is herculiner the best out there for the do-it-yourselfer? i don't want to pay for line-x or rhino lining, and i haven't ever heard of people using the new rust-oleum kind, so i was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to offer some advice or experience.
thanks.

i just helped my friend do the whole interior of his jeep. He took out all the carpeting and we put that stuff in. It wasn't too hard and i think it looks pretty good.

we used rustoleum's road warrior. it has been extremely durable. however, it, like all of the epoxy aplications, will grey out from uv exposure. we recently applied herculiner's uv protection and hope to keep it black.

the road warrior application was weekend project:
- friday night dissassemble: about 2 hours
- saturday am, clean, clean, and more cleaning along with roughing the smooth plastic parts: about 3 hours
- mid saturday tape and apply: about 1 hour
- mid sunday reassemble: about 2 hours

have a look...

yeah man,
that's kinda what i wanted to do, just not up that high, only to the bump in the doors. i also wasn't going to do the plastic trim because i think i kinda dig the gray look.
i must give props to your job though, you took the time and did it right. it looks pretty freakin' good and i hope it was worth all of the work you put into it.
