ive always used herculiner. prep is the key to good results though. i am also not a fan of the duplicolor version of it.

i used the roll on truck bed liner on mine. it looks good, and it's not "too" textured. it holds up great, and washed off with just a hose.

washed off with a hose? that doesn't sound very good.

i use the spray on ones from walmart. i used them on my commanche, my grand cherokee, and in the wheel well areas on my bmws and it works well. i did the roof of my current 87 and other then not being very liberal with the over spray protection and painting eveything else, it came out great. been on for a few weeks now and hte only areas where it doesn't hold well is the chrome colored areas of the roof racks

Rustoleum Spray-On Bed Coating here... it is what it is.

I recently shot my Rockers and Flares. Spent $24 on on a roll of tape and 3 cans at Lowes, and so far it's working out well.

Looking to re-do it in something better though!

what i mean is the jeep is washed by just hosing it down, not that the bed liner comes off with a hose.

be sure to get one that offers UV protection. i used undercoating on a tire carrier, and as it's not supposed to be used in direct sunt light, it faded.

I used the rustoleum spray on truck bed liner for my rockers and bumpers. It has a sandpaper like finish and is pretty tough. Just doesn't flex well and fades a little bit over time. I would recommend it though for $7 a can.
