I knew about the fading issue before I did it, but Im not worried about it. Its not like its that hard to spray on another coat.

Not really, it depends on how hard you ran the key across it. If you ran it against it enough to make a mark in normal car paint you wouldnt, but if you went to town enough to bend the key you could. But its still not that bad...

Ya like he said if it were normal car paint & the key scrached just enough to notice it in the clear coat, it wouldn't do much to the bed liner!!! Again if it was hard enough to cut into the bed liner... It could be fixed with a quick wipe down & 2-3 passes with the rattle can!!!

that is exactly what i did, i did it on my quarter panels in the wheel wells and along the bottom, i did 3 coats of undercoating and 3 coats of the roll on stuff and it looks great and ive had a friend hit it with a bat cause he didnt believe how tough i said it was, lets just say the jeep beat the bat haha, it worked so well

I tried that rattle can bedliner last night. Not bad for the convienience and price. Its a little shinier than i would like for the final go at it, but it is what it is. It was frustrating to try not to get runs, but even when it did it dried smooth on a single coat.
I also tested out "tree rubs" using my knife handle on it and thw forest camo. This was where i was most impressed. You could see marks on both, but for how hard i rubbed it i was expecting actual damage and there was none to speak of. I scraped some of the texture off with a fingernail though.
The plan is to set up and actually do pro spray on type lliner for max protection and a particular look im going for, but i wanted to use this stuff on the bumper as full thickness liner looks like itll have problems.

i used both and I really like the roll on Herculiner..
Used it on my lower panels and under-body
looks really slick with my forest green XJ
Super strong that **** is never coming off
it has a bunch of little rubber ***** in it which give it a nice texture
As for the fading I heard you can just spray some armor-all on that will shine it right up again

I Believe its Rustoleum Bed Liner in a can from Vato Zone, but dont remember for sure if that was it. It just shows a newer white ford pickup on the can, it shows the bed being bed lined, you really cant miss it.
