Default Clear Coating Bed Liner

Hi guys,
I was thinking of spraying my stock JK rims using the black Rustoleum Bed Liner method. I was just wondering if they would need a clear coat over them? Not sure if bed liner is a similer process to spraying paint in which you would need to finally seal the paint with a clear?

Any help would be appreciated! thanks!

Nope, no clear coat necessary. There are a bunch of threads on this. Just make sure you scuff up your wheels with some sandpaper before you spray them.... Helps the liner stick.

Ok thanks! cant wait to try it out. I just hope it really lasts. If you dont need a clear coat it must be durable then. does it dry a Matte or Satin finish?

Default No good

well I went to buy some Duplicolor bedliner but to no avail! Apprently we dont have that stuff here down under. Im trying to find out what else I could use. Engine Enamel could be another option but i did find this stuff called "VHT- Hood, Bumper & Trim Paint".

I think this may be another name for bedliner but cant be sure. it has the same kind of material make up. Has anyone used this? I may give it a shot
