Seriously...come on people!!
THEY MADE GOOGLE FOR A REASON!!!
and this is such an easy subject!


Spray-on is better. Period. But, it'll cost more.
Roll-on is alright, but be prepared for A LOT of prep work, otherwise its gonna flake & peel.


Since youre too lazy too research this on your own. I would assume you dont have the patients for the amount of prep work needed for the DIY roll-on stuff.
So just go pay a professional to apply the spray-on AND you can get it in different colors as well. Because only a fool would paint something thats meant to get bashed, banged, scraped & scuffed.

Ok, youve got your facts mixed up.
Spray-on, gets heated up when being applied and will stick to anything. PLUS, goes on 1/4" thick.

The DIY stuff, usually requires about 4 coats, for a coat thickness of 1/10"
Your gonna be rollin a long time, lol. Plus, you have to wait atleast 1 1/2 hours in between coats.

IMO, the extra money spent on the spray-on is well worth it. Not only will you be much more satisfied with the outcome, you're also getting a better produc.

wow. Its not that funny man, lay off the crack. Spray on is definitely better but prep is everything no matter what you use. I've used the duplicolor on a few other things besides my jeep and its worked out fine. If you want something UV-resistant that won't fade Raptor liner is pretty good. Its also more expensive though. I've thought about going with duplicolor or herculiner for the jeep, but I figure if I save enough money from my poor college student budget () then I can get raptor liner and not have to worry about it ever again.

Duplicolor worked HORRIBLE for me. And that wasnt even on my jeep, it was on my car, and I followed the directions on the back of it...???


If you had to go with a roll-on, Ide say go with Herculiner, like "My375hp302" suggested. Ive heard more good than bad, about the quality of the product. Just dont plan anything for a weekend.

Also I forgot to ask... OP
Is this going on the outside or inside??? That does make a big difference, also, when considering what to use.

No, sorry bout that...I meant the professionally sprayed-on coatings. Which I would use on the outside, everything else would be inferior.

The DIY spray cans suck! Ive had the worse experience with these.
When you first use them, they look like theyre coating pretty well...untill you realize its all just air bubbles and you barely have a coat at all. PLUS it takes FOREVER to dry! I think my grass had time to grow back before this stuff was finally dry. I think it wasnt tacky, after a full week went by. HORRIBLE!!

I only use this stuff as temporary shielding...
It doesnt even last a winter up here.
