Default Herculiner paint job

So I've been thinking about doing a Herculiner paint job on my '88 XJ. Anyone have any experience with it?

use the search toolbar and yes many people have, do good prep = good paint job. also make sure u know what section your posting in.

I don't think anyone has ever used this stuff on their xj. Oh and you are in the wrong section.

Ok, well, You have gotten the jist from the other posters. but, I have an 88 XJ, well, for a few more days, and I did a bedliner paint job. Go ahead and look at my photos. I used the stuff at walmart for 50 or 60 bucks. 1 gallon and an 11 dollar applicator kit. I did most of my jeep, and have a quart left. Did a pretty good job, and cheap.

Ok in all seriousness, op, it has been done before. Most people that have done their whole jeep in bed liner admit that they regret it. Imho what would look nice is the herc on the rocker panels, maybe quarter panels, fender flares, and front and rear bumper. I plan on doing that minus the quarter panels

Oh, so you mean that NO ONE has EVER done it before, and I'll be the FIRST?!?! So, I'm like, a PIONEER of PAINT JOBS?!!?!!

.........Moving on..........

The reason I was contemplating it is because my jeep has a crappy, rattle-can black paint job with a few small dents and scratches that stand out quite a bit, so I figured a bed-liner paint job would make it easier to clean and hide those off-road battle scars. Has anyone used the "Herculiner" brand before? I want to know if it's a shotty product or if it holds up decently well
