Herculiner-bedliner questions

Herculiner Truck bed liner kit-
Anyone ever use this on there truck bed?
Did it hold up, how long?
I don't have the money to spend $500 on line x or rhino lining, and my rep from NAPA advised me he sells a lot of this and he says works well if you do the prep work.
On sale for $44 for 1 gallon after mail in rebate right now.
I want to try it but would like someone to let me know who has had experience with it.
Also, I would even be willing to do some touch up to it every few years to keep it looking good.
Thoughts?
  • I have used for for several years in all my trucks. Prep work is the key, it will last you a long time. I have never seen any issues with it. In fact I installed it into my parents 3500 new dodge a year ago. My current truck is sprayed in, if it was not then I would use herculinar and save myself some cash. Again it's all about the prep work, sanding it down the right way and cleaning it prior application... 2 coats is good.
  • I used it on a 74 chevy, lasted 5 years with moderate use, it eventually eroded back to the factory paint. No where near the thickness and quality of rhino lining.
  • We use Herculiner in the shop for under coating and a sound deadener. I have sprayed a couple of beds with it but my customers don't work their trucks very hard. I did put it in my F250 and so far it is holding up fairly well. I use a under coat gun to spray it and prep is EVERYTHING!
  • If you have an older truck, go for it. If you have a late model that you plan on keeping for awhile, get a Linex or Rhino. I prefer Linex.
  • Remember, you asked.

    Ok, let me get this straight. And take this with the spirit intended...You spent a wheelbarrow full of money on a great truck. And now you want to slap some cheap $44 a gallon liner in the bed thats basically just thick paint in hopes it'll pass for a great looking bed liner???:S Why don't you stick on some fake pointy fender vents too!!!

    Please, please...don't do this thing you're considering. Save the cash for a Line-X and do the job right the first time. Spread that junk yourself that you're considering in the bed of that nice truck now and I can promise you that in 3 months you'll realize what a horrendous mistake it was to do so. And now Line-X won't spray over it so you're stuck with a bad bed job... in a gorgeous truck...just to save a lousy $500. Do without something, save the $500, and get a Line-X or Rhino. JMHO.

    Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)
