Have any of you tried the Do it yourself bedliners like available at NAPA etc? The kit seels for $100 and looks pretty easy to do. I just hoped some of you may have a comment on the liner itself as well as the installation.

Thanks

I am thinking the same thing. There are a lot of good discussions in the bedliner section about the brush on bed liners. I think there is a link in there somewhere to f150world that goes through the project.

Let us know how it comes out.

Did you ever try it? This was like 9 years ago

 

I did a herculiner in my truck. I can take some pics if you like. It's already had several loads of wood, mulch and dirt, so it's a little dirty. But it's holding up just fine. I did one in my 2000 taco and it held up fine. One gallon was able to put on 3 coats. As long as you take your time doing the prep (Very Important) then you won't have any issues. How I look at it, if it gets scratched and torn then I'll spend $20-$30 to buy a quart and touch it up after time.

 

Yet you still dug this thread up.

 

Well Wandell I was thinking about putting it on a new truck and didnt want to bother if it doesnt hold up well

 

would you have gave him the "search, its been discussed a thousand times" speech if he made a new thread?

 

In my experience, the DIY liners dont hold up very well. After a year it is faded, the factory paint shows through. And this was with 2 days of prep work, and 3 coats.

 

Thanks Jaws

 

There are some new liners out now, I wonder if they are any better? They advertise them as tough as nails etc

 

just a thought.... has anyone ever thought about lining the truck bed with garage floor coating? might just be superior to all these DIY liners...

just a random thought as i was scrolling through reading all these DIY BL threads....

 

i read up on duraBak for boating applications and it looks pretty good for foot traffic...

also just another thought that i may just try is using POR15 or ChassisSaver, about the same as the DIY bedliner kits but the CS looks waaaay more durable

 

ok, ive made up my mind.... looks like i will be using monstaliner one day! the jeep guys are RAVING about it and it comes in many many colors too!!!

 

Thanks for the tip Ill check it out for sure. Maybe you can post up some pics if you do yours????

Thanks

 

Any pics yet?
