i did it myself with a hurculiner 100$ had it on for about a year, if you prep it good you will have no problem, it scrapes off a little easer than linex but if it does you just put some more on, you need to do a good masking job to get a good clean look, i think it was a good buy

Here is a bit of history: First on the scene were epoxy based products. They were not very durable, they cracked, peeled, etc. Then, ONE-part polyurethane products came along. One-part means that the polyurethane is suspended in a solvent. A catalyst is added which starts a chemical reaction that removes the solvent so that you have just polyurethane left. They were a significant improvement over epoxy based products. Examples of today’s one-part polyurethanes include Herculiner, Duplicolor, Durabak, and Speedliner. The newest technology is TWO-part polyurethanes. Two-part means that a resin (usually a polyol resin) is mixed with isocyanate (a hardener) which renders the polyurethane. Two-part polyurethanes are harder and much more durable than one-part polyurethanes. Two-part polys are used on today’s boats, airplanes, etc. Examples of today’s products that have two-part polyurethanes include LINE-X and Rhino.

tonymech,
I installed my Herculiner about 4 years ago and I'm pretty pleased with the results. It's held up pretty well, some scratches and scrapes. Biggest part is prep! If you do a search on the installation you will find some very good tips. If you get it on your skin it's going to be there awhile
