if you do, plan on sanding the crap out of the outside & lots of acetone. I used hurculiner on my interior vs. carpet its the best would love to do it on the outside. Only problem is you wouldnt be able to slide across the hood

wonder if you could even put it in a spray gun and spray it on the car. I couldnt imagine dobbing an entire xj with hurculiner haha

I've been considering bed-lining an XJ and I was wondering if anyone knew of a liner that wouldn't fade very bad?...

that rustolium spray on bedliner feels like 80grit sandpaper and its gr8,i rather do that then roll on,because its more even lookin,and its cheaper and easier to touch up

that is true. Your going to scratch up ur xj going thru the trails and what not so i would go with the spray. $200+ probably to do it using herculiner with spray on u will look at about $50- 75. also if you do the outside tape around certain components i had a buddy of mine who rushed thru it and him and his dad were doing the project and his dad sprayed completely over the side lights, turn lights and fog lights as well as the radiator. take ur time and it will pay off then sit back and !

Not sure what its called but a company makes something that is an anti grey agent. The bedliner especially when exposed to the sun, just like plastic bumpers on the sides of grand cherokee's will sunfade very bad. i would add a coat of polyeurethane spray form home depot in the wood stain & teak oil isle. water resistant and adds shine!
