Default Best Do It Yourself bed liner

What Do It Yourself bed liner did you do and how is it holding up? Any special install instructions?

UPOL Raptor Liner is by far the best and one of the cheaper options. This stuff is the spray on type. Not a crappy roller or aerosol. It is pretty damn tough. I have my whole JKU covered inside and out. Even my hard top inside and out. It is $110 or so on Amazon for 4 bottles and a spray gun. The most important part is the prep. I spent 3 days prepping my tub. A lot of people will half ass it and that's when it chips. You need a good surface for it to bond to.

I did monstaliner roll on. Great kit with great results. Builds up a nice, thick coating and is fade resistant. Like stated above, the key to great results lie in prep work. I spent days scraping sound deadener and stripping the interior.

If I were to do it again, I would have gone with raptor liner just because rolling the tub is a huge PITA. It would be easier for me to spray on instead.

I also used monstaliner. Great instructions even though there is a lot of write up out there about the how to. Have had it for a year and has not faded and has minimal chips. They also provide you with special pads in their kits that give it the textured look.

Used Herculiner when I did mine last spring and its held up great, but like others have said the results are all in the prep. Take your time and do it right and it'll turn out okay. Use a heat gun and a wood chisel and that sound goop will peel right off

I also used Monstaliner. Great product. Easy apply and really holds up. The smell hangs around for awhile though!

Rustoleum would be best for a bumper simply because you can touch it up in one step.

I used the duplicolor rattlecan liner on my grill and rustoluem on my hinges. If i could do it again i'd definitely use rustoluem on both. Has a smoother texture and a better looking finish in my opinion. Little more factory or professionally done. Both great products tho. I would recommend doing a test spray on a piece of wood or something because that stuff is definitely different than using spray paint!

I would agree on using rattlecan on things like bumpers and rockrails. Tub and exterior, definitely the Monster/Raptor liner route
