hey guys, sorry it has taken so long to get back, been alittle busy. Anyway, very easy to put on spyder, as far as prep, all you have to do is take the shiny finish off. they give you a small 3m pad but i used another one also. on our trucks, when you start sanding you will find yourself covered with white residue, that's what you want. make sure you wipe it all off. i used acetone and it worked well. as far as how thick it goes on, it's up to you. make sure you stir it real well cause the stuff is pretty thick. i cut in all the corners with a paint brush (provided in kit) and then put a thin coat over the rest. i let it all dry til it was tacky (2 hours in sunlight) and then put a pretty thick coat on. I still had almost a quarter of a can left over. ccla: don't have any pictures yet but I am working on it. (they're in the camera gotta finish the roll). as soon as i can i will get them up. you guys are gonna be happy with the results if this is the way you decide to go. My best advise is to BE PATIENT. Good luck!!

I used to be a mechanic for a lawn company. I talked the boss into trying Durabak, a brush or roll on bedliner. (You can even get it to spray on too.) About 4 hours to complete the job and boy was it worth it. I would've gotten it for my truck but I already have a Ford bedliner. Cost about $100 a gallon, and it was worth every penny. It's xylene based polyurethane with recycled tire bits for grip. No smooth bumps like Rhino Liner, but grippy little things, kinda like stucco! I'm gonna put it into the floor of my 73 Commando I use for wheeling (already bought it too.).

Just did my inside tail gate surface this past weekend. Never could find anything up till now that would protect that area very good. I don't really need a bed liner as I have a Leer over the bed and do all my rough hauling in a trailer. Worst part about the whole job was getting the can open! I really was impressed with the results and in spite of not really needing to I may just go ahead and do the whole bed anyway. I like it!
