So whats the best readily available roll in bedliner? Im planning to pay the man for the actual bed, but want to do the tire side of the front and rear fenders, inner fenders, inside the tailgate, etc. Ive been searching al gore's internet and coming up with mixed results on all brands. I know prep has a lot to do with results, and us on this forum tend to do it right. So....
I talked to a painter that was using this stuff to do the floor of a beach elevator.

He said anything else is a joke.
I haven't personally used it. It isn't cheap.
I've heard Herculiner is good. Don't get it on your hootus.

Yup: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/which-bedliner-paint/54794/page1/
I used Herculiner on my truck to do the tops of the bumpers, around the rockers and fenders, and the bed rails. The rockers and fenders are holding up just fine and look good. Places where I step are getting a little thin and will need another coat. This is after about a year and a half. You can see pictures in my profile.
Herculiner.
2 years later it has a few spots that got torn out from shovels, but I'm not easy on it.
Herculiner has been in my Jeep tub for years.
Not roll-on, but when I worked for Cleveland State we used Rubberized Spray on Undercoating for the wheel wells and between tailgate and gaps and such when we got new fleet trucks. It sprayed on well and seemed to hold up pretty ok. Spray and wipe with alcohol, let dry, and tape where you don't want it. There is a decent amount of overspray...
The only thing I would think is that may need a little more frequent reapplication..it just didn't seem to be THAT great for heavy duty use. We really just used it for the inbetween places we thought would get beat up here and there.
Can you topcoat hurculiner?
And im hearing loud and clear from this thread and the other to not roll it on while working on a tan-lineless skin tone. Apparently you don't want it on your hootus.
Also, it looks lile it would ne a good candidate for my light duty shop truck bed, at a much cheaperpprice point than the 400 pay the man price. How thick is it, and any closeup pictures of the actual texture?
I used Grizzly Grip on a camper top and its been unbelievably tough. Good customer service too. Small company in FL.

Can't believe I'm the 1st one to suggest that you don't get it on your Hootus.

You're not, but it's good advice that bears repeating.

The guy who famously got it on his hootus in the first place did it by taking a bathroom break from painting and not washing his hands before going to the bathroom...

Yea. I can't believe I am either. Don't get it on your hootus.
I'll be grabbing some liner to protect the sides of the ranger. I'll likely be going with herculiner.
DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR HOOTUS
In reply to GameboyRMH:
having done something similar with POR15, i can only imagine it with added grit....
damn that has to suck...
In reply to DILYSI Dave:
is it still that shiny after years of use? cause it looks really good for what i want to do. how thick was it? and did you use the stuff in the box, or something different?

We had one truck Rhino lined in the bed and wheel wells back in the early 00's. Still holding up relatively well(and guarenteed for life) I don't think it was overly expensive either.

It is not. It now looks like some shiny happy person constantly covers it in mud, dirt, creek water, etc., and never washes it.
In reply to DILYSI Dave:
Its a shame to treat a hootus that way.
It's not that big of a deal if you get some on your hootus.
Let it dry completely, then fire up your trusty belt sander and buff it off!
