Here ya go, impressed so far, I assembled my new slider 5th wheel hitch in the bed when it was 3 days old and not a mark. Takes 5-7 days for a “through cure”

I'm going to have to check out their website but does this stuff fade at all or stays the color it is when you first put it on? Does it dry rock hard like an Epoxy or say LineX?? My Rhino liner put by the dealer (at a Ziebart dealer) is junk. They did minimal prep work before they sprayed that garbage into the bed. I started peeling it off with a heat gun off the tailgate and I saw the lack of sanding on the tailgate. So I'm looking into different options here. Thanks.

It’s supposedly uv resistant as far as fading goes. This is 2 part, you mix the hardener yourself, which really interested me. Yes, it feels very hard and durable.

Lots of info and positive reviews on you tube as well.

That's a good job on the liner.

I tried to do a roll on liner in an old F150. I quickly learned that its worth paying the money to have it professionally installed.

Hey Brett, your truck is looking great. Must be nice to have the confidence to do your own liner and the ability to back it up. I would never attempt that on my lawn mower, much less my truck. We have the same truck basically so I was wondering if you have noticed anything peculiar about what appears to be the e-brake cable on the driver's side rear. I was getting fuel this morning and noticed mine appears to be routed wrong as it lays between the leaf springs. I haven't towed anything heavy enough to compress the springs that far, but sooner or later I will and probably sever or crush it. It also looks like it would chaff over time. Is yours like that? I plan on taking it in to have it looked at next week either way, but I thought it was strange. I know Andre has one too. I sold my '18 to my daughter and S-I-L but I looked under that truck enough to have noticed something like that. Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend. Thanks.

I don’t have any experience with this kit...yet, but it’s supposed to be darker and have more uv resistance for fading, might give this a shot when I do my grill, emblems, etc.

my first truck was a 2010 f150 and I tried and roll on bed liner, did the prep right, but it didn’t stick very well and at all. I won’t use anything but a 2k product again as far as liners go.

This last weekend I really put the new rig to work, 14750 pounds of limestone + trailer, truck weighed in at 11900. Gen 3 and 10 speed is a beast. Would have preferred one less rock to be legal, but buddy loading me threw one last rock in, lol
