Default DIY bedliner options - what works best?

So a quick search pulls up numerous options of DIY bedliner kits and rattle cans that JK owners have been using to coat their tub, bumpers, entire exterior, etc. I'd like to try get opinions/results/pictures from the various ones you guys have used. Hopefully this can help me (and others in the future) decide what product to use for a particular project and desired result.

In my case, I'm looking for the best option to coat a new PSC bumper. Looking for a durable product that doesn't have too much abrasive grit (like LineX). I'm leaning towards Monstaliner after reading some reviews, but I'm a bit hesitant to use a roll-on product because of a bad experience I had with Duplicolor's kit in the past.

I've read good reviews for raptor liner. I bought the spray on kit but haven't used it yet. Will this summer.

I did the raptor liner in the tub and it worked great but it's all in the prep work

I have used Raptor liner on a few jeeps now(bumpers/sliders.) None of the rattle can stuff comes close for looks/durability.

Here is a pic where you kinda see the texture.

I've read good stuff about Monstaliner on the forum and just google'ing other places. Seems to hold up really well, UV stable, no rubber crumbs and its roll on. Also keeps flexibility when dried so it an be used on things such as a grill or fender flares.

Monstaliner do-it-yourself roll-on truck bed liner - competitive product comparisons (Their comparison is undoubtedly a bit biased as it is on their own website)

Ordered 2 gallons recently to do my bumper, interior, rockers. Just arrived yesterday afternoon!

Do you think one gallon will do the interior. When you get it done can you let me know. Going to do mine this summer and need to see how much to order. Oh and is yours 2 or 4 door

That's the exact bumper I'm buying, but with the brawler bar!

Dunny, the Monstaliner site says that 1 gallon will might be enough to do the tub. From their site: "1 Gallon Kit covers 60 sq ft in 2 coats (2 door Wrangler Jeep Tub or 6 Foot Pickup Bed)" Monstaliner do-it-yourself roll-on truck bed liner

Looks like I'll need the 2 gallon kit. Mines a 4 door. Might have done extra but hey, maybe I can start the outside. Lol

I used 1 gallon of Monstaliner and it covered my 4-door tub with 2 coats. I bought an extra quart just in case but didn't need it. It's a much smoother texture than other roll-ons and for the year it's been on, it's held up great so far.

Everything I've read on here stated 1 gallon was enough for the 2 and 4 doors and 2 coats. I got 2 gallons to be sure so I could do the bumper and rockers.

My only worry is I don't believe it has much of a life once it is mixed so I just have to measure it out in smaller increments I think. For the guys that have used it, did you mix up the entire gallon to do the interior? Or did you mix it in another container in smaller batches?
