bedlinering whole floor

hey guys i've been looking around the site for a few months figured i'd finally join. I know its been done and posts about it, but i havent found anything about how just using the bedliner affects insulation or keeps down road noise(since my heat and ac aren't working well right now). thanks for any replies. Peace.

I herculined the bed of mine, basically where the bench sits all the way back...there is a difference in noise level but after probably a week of driving you dont even notice it anymore.

I used Herculiner on the back floor and did almost nothing for road noise and it stinks really bad for like 2-3 weeks.

Herculiner I used on the outside of my truck works pretty good. Gator guard is another REALLY good one. It comes in different colors if you are interested. Also, where your exhaust runs it will be pretty warm.

Lizard skin works very well for interior. My favorite is Raptorliner for appearence if it's going to show, and heat does not bother it. I have my header only an inch away from it.

When I did mine I bought 1 quart of Herculiner, it costed I believe about 35$ at the time and used a small 4" roller and a throw away paint brush. Do you edges first with a brush (If you do it this way) then roll it out.

I like the herculiner cause it has the rubber pieces in it and the sheen is a gloss. So it looks good

You can get a spray gun to spray that stuff. They are pretty cheap and work great. It does a great job!

My entire interior is Herculined. You hear EVERYTHING, especially when its raining. But after you do Longtube headers and crank the AC/DC it all goes away. I will try to find some pics if you want.
