Default Herculiner on the Roof

After reading all the posts on people using truck bed liners on their own jeeps i decided to give it a try on mine.
This stuff worked amazing! Couldn't be happier!
With about 2 hours of prep work and an hour of actual painting it was totally worth it!
I bought the Herculiner from O'Reilly Auto Part for $89.99
Then bought sand paper, paint tray, heavy duty rubber gloves, and mineral & spirits for like $30.
Country music and lots of water helped over the smell.
Let me know what you think.

Wow, looks bangin' from up close.

I'd like to see a picture of it from further back to decide how it flows with the rest of the Jeep.

Make sure you sealed the edges of those stick-on runners very well, those were the original source of water infiltration on my roof, leading to cutting out a goodly amount of rust. I rolled Herculiner on mine and could not be happier with the results. I did the hood too.

Hey Mndoughboy, how are you liking the Herculiner on the roof!? I am thinking about doing the same thing to mine...I have some pretty nasty spotting going on up there.
