Is there such a thing? Any suggestions/brands? Thanks in advance.

 

duplicolor makes a kit that you can attach a hose to to have an sprayer, roller to roll it on, or even in an aeresol(sp?) can. i used the aeresol on my toolbox and it turned out great, not as much texture as youd get from rolling or spraying but still great.

 

If there was and you applied it correctly and with enough material to make it thick enough to provide any level of protection beyond normal paint... you'll spend well over what any professional job would cost and still have the labor you put in to account for. Done properly, none of the DIY liners are any kind of deal.

 

There is such thing as a DIY liner... but the one I used was a roll-on liner, not a spray on. I will agree that the professional ones are much better. But if you spend lots of time prepping the surface, you can get nice results from a DIY product. And can save a lot of money.

Here is my writeup from when I did it last year.


It still looks good... no rust or peeling or anything.
I'll say it again... tons of time prepping the surface is key to getting good results.

 

I did the Herculiner. fairly inexpensive DIY. cleaning, prepping and application took a couple of hours or so. came out real nice. do more than the 2 coats they suggest. its starting to wear off and look thin in some areas after 2 years of hauling wood and such.

 

I did the Hurculiner to the inside tub of my Jeep and Samurai and I love it! No, it's not as pretty as Line-X or Rhino but for just over $100 to do both tubs, I think it was worth it. Might be too gritty for a truck bed to last over time but still provides the protection and can be touched up cheap.

 

I did this same thing on my Wranglers floor!
But for a truck bed use Line-X

Have Line-X now. Had Rhino before. I prefier the Line-X looks, durability.

 

Thanks for all of the input, trying to get some longevity out of new truck bed.
