Cleans well so far, but I haven't gotten it filthy yet. So we'll see soon

Anything I bed lined I let dry over night before putting back on my jeep just to avoid any issues but the bed lining itself took no time at all, just did a quick sanding before.

First, this looks really good. But I have dumbass question, why bed liner and not paint? And please, I am actually interested as to if there is an experienced based reason for it.

Bed liner is rough and doesn't scratch, i also just like the rugged look. I did my fenders, grill, and the scratched up plastic inside the back on the jeep

My personal reason is the same. It looks rugged and can take a beating. Not only that but it's way easier than paint. If you mess up you can't tell cause of the texture and if any ever does chip or scratch off it is extremely easy to touch up. With paint you can easily see the spots you've touched up. But with the bed liner you don't

I agree, so much easier to correct and touch up

I just picked up a 2015 Rubicon Hard Rock Unlimited and I'm looking to order a Metal Cloak ARB 3.5" lift w/ control arms. Can I spray the arms with that and will it hold up?

it's all about prep. For bed liner to stick well to smooth components like that you really have to rough it up to give the liner something to grab hold of.
A powder coat would probably be a better idea for control arms
