Default U-Pol Raptor Liner durability

Last summer I had my tub and rock rails line-x so now that I have that as a comparison, how does the Raptor Liner compare?
I've watched all the videos I can find on YT but no actual durability tests or reviews. All people say is it's good, I'd recommend it

I have a PSC front brawler that needs priming and coating and yesterday I ordered the ACE pro series rear & tire carrier which I plan on coating also.
I bought some U-Pol #8 etch primer for the PSC bare steel bumper and 2 kits of Raptor Liner to coat both bumpers to ensure a rust free surface.
Does anyone have a durability comparison they can share? Also, how easy or hard is it to damage the raptor liner?

I use the Raptor Liner in my body shop as a inner fender liner, engine bay and so on. Had good results, even as the bed liner in a few pick ups. I am using the kit that mixes handner and sprays with a under coating gun. I have never used the aresol cans. Put multiple coats with a tack time between and u should be fine.

If your bumpers don't scrape anything, you'll be fine. I pretty much have my whole jeep covered in it. It is not a substitute for powder coating though. It will keep it rust free as long as it doesn't take hard hits or scrapes. My tub is still flawless and the outside just has pin striping from branches. Not dug into the material though. I would go the cheap route and use some duplicolor truck bed liner. It will be a lot cheaper to touch up if you take damage.
