Default how is your bedliner holding up?

its came time for me to bedline my lower door since its the summer and i finally have time to do it, so my question is how is your bedliner holding up? what kind did you use? what did you use it on? how long has it been on? i know that the real way to make it last and be strong is all in the prep work, but i would really like to hear from some of you guys who have had it on for a while. Thanks

I bought the stuff in the spray can from wally world. Major thumbs down . I used it on my rear bumper and quarter panels. At first it looked looked great but after one winter it was peeling like crazy. I would give it a year tops.

I used Herculiner on my side panels, rocker panels, and rear bumper. I laid it on with a paintbrush, two coats. And yes, prep work is key.
It's only been about 2 months but it's been doing great.

I bedlined my rockers and doors up to the first body line.

its only been about a month, but it looks like the day I did it.

I used herculiner not rustoleum.

for prep I just wire wheeled it first then hit it with some sandpaper, and washed it off before going at it.

check out my thread.

you just need to sand it down enough to scuff up the surface. I taped stuff off with blue painters tape. but make sure you remove it before the herculiner drys or the tape might be stuck there also.

I've had mine on for a little over a month, but 2 weeks after i put it on i took it wheeling. Those briars didn't know what hit em'. Looks as fresh as the day i put it on. Just harder to clean. I used hurculiner kit from pepboys for $90. And it covered all this! It was a 1 gallon kit. Justed sanded down good, cleaned it off and let the roller to do rest!
