After that just clean the surface with acetone or mineral spirits and for the "liner" I used upol raptor liner which is sprayed on and comes in a kit
(took around 1.5 hours) because you have to wait 40 minutes in between coats. Once I finished the spraying I let the raptor liner dry for 24 hours.

Literally the easiest part of this project was spraying it on I have 0 painting experience besides using a rattle can.

Put all you interior back in the next day and you will be much more satisfied that you did it your self, and you are also saving a lot of money that you could do some serious mods on your jeep, I was quoted $950 for the line x dealer to spray it (if i stripped it). My total cost is $190 all in
(spray liner kit,masking/prep materials)

Either way you go you are going to love the bed lined interior.

Spencer, I thought about the raptor product as well, but I don't think you can compare the two. They are two different materials.

I was told by the Line X guy that it would be very labor intensive and a lot of material waste due to the size of the spray from the gun.

So I'm slowly doing the prep work (scraping that crap off) and I noticed some of the sound puddy or whatever it is between the tailgate and storage spot and also around the rear latch point for the rear seat. Do you scrape that off as well? It kind of looks like it may keep water out or just to Seal up a crack. I have a 2009 2 door.
