any1 tried the diy roll-in duplicolor bed liners? i hate my drop in bed liner. been looking at the options without spending $400

 

Spend the $400 bucks and get a good liner done. I tried the Herculiner on the bed of my Mule and used what was left over on the steel floor of a utility trailer.

Most of it came off the Mule bed after about four years. The problem is trying to get it as thick as the spray on guys do. You will have a lot of fun if you try it and it doesn't work for you and you have to clean it off to get something else.

If the truck is at all decent have the Pros do it.

 

well, thats what i figured. its a 97 stroke thats real slick, and an 02 stroke thats real slick.

 

x2 for having someone else do it, their quality of materials is higher and it will last alot longer

 

The DIY stuff is not formulated as well as the professional stuff. Comes off too fast and not worth the hassle.

 

I used Herculiner on my Toyota. Great stuff for the money, but as others have said, it's just not that thick. Good traction though. If you prep well, it's very tough and won't peel, but I wore through it. Mine was a white truck, and the bed looked like crap after about 5 years with white showing through the black everywhere that got a lot of wear.

 

I was in the same boat as you 2 years ago. I did the dupicolor kit with 2 gallons in my longbed and it lasted about 2-3 months before it pealed off, I preped the bed for 4-5 hours with a grinder. I was so mad I sandblasted the entire bed and drove two hours away to the nearest linex and gave it to them for half a day. I told the guy my story and he charged me $350. Its been in there 2 years now dragging metal t posts and not caring about it. Still looks like its new other than the shine went away. DONT do the DIY kits, I helped a friend install the hurculiner in his duramax and it was better than mine but still very thin.

Linex uses between 4-5 gallons on a longbed FYI
