Default Duplicolor bedliner

So I am thinking of putting this stuff on a homemade bumper I fabed up, I was just wondering does this stuff bond well to bare metal, and how tuff is it. Would it hold up better if I applied a automotive primer before hand. Also pics on ways that yall have applied this stuff would be good as well.

When I did my sliders (sorry no pics) I put a couple coats of self-etching primer on first just to be safe. They seem to be holding up pretty well so far although I haven't had the opportunity to test them yet.

I just got my new bumper from Mitch at Bulldog Fab today . It's also painted with the dupli color bedliner, it does have one pretty nice scratch from shipping but overall it survived the trip from AZ to PA pretty well.

I did my grill with it a few weeks ago and I am really happy with the result. Has held up really well to bugs/mud/rocks. Plus super easy to touch up if necessary.

Sorry for the crappy pic. It was really foggy the morning I took this shot.

Anything in particular you are looking for? I have a few shots during the prep and painting I took with my iPhone and the a few shots after the install. If you want something more specific let me know.
