Herculiner on the rockers of a truck anyone??

Looking to do this to mine just wondering if anybody has done this and may have some insight on how to do it neatly and how much I would need?

I did the panels of my 94 Grand Cherokee. I used about half a gallon for a few coats. Roll it on with a foam roller (buy plenty because the Herculiner destroys them pretty quickly) and it will come out nice. I would get a gallon and if you have extra, you can use it for touch up if needed.

I did this about 3 years ago and it is holding up real well. I bought the bedliner kit, which came with the roller. I used the green masking tape and it turned out great. Just make sure you do the prep work right, i did and mine is in great shape. My buddy did it half azzed and it is coming off his truck.

Sounds good I also plan on doing from the bevel in the side of the truck down like the 2 tone trucks and around my wheel wells on the 2 inch lip but just wondering what is included in the right prep work?

Just make sure you rough it up real good and clean it good before you apply the herculiner.

I agree...

I used 80 grit and an orbital sander then acetone to prep my bed and the herculiner is holding up great. They give you a red scuffing pad to prep with; that made me laugh. Took me 8 hours and around 50 sanding pads before i was happy with the surface and I love the result! Bedlinered my truck for $100 plus $50 for the sander and i got a new tool out of it!
