Try the new bed armor by dupli color. It now comes in spray can. Did the rockers of mine and it helps on these shellrock roads.

i will add that i have used this a number of times and from all my experiences.... Even after proper prep work, only 1 layer of coating does not last... while it does have a nice finish, it only lasts about a month (if that) and will start to chip and flake.... multiple layers (3+) seem to hold up and last substantially longer.

I put a few coats down when I did the floor of my wrangler. It Might have lasted 2 weeks before it started chipping off. It looked great for a minute, but its not as durable as the roll on stuff.

Yep I did my sliders with it & have to redo them ever couple of months! Although its nice for the quick touch up, cause I like to use my sliders to their limits!

its all about the prep. if you take short cuts then you'll pay for it. you don't have to prep as much with the roll on stuff but i've had the duplicolor on for over two months and no problems but I spent two days of prep to do it right.

I used the roll on in the interior in the jeep. It came out great.

The roll on stuff has the consistency of about yogurt.

I've had very good experiances with the product, the Plasticoat rattle can bedliner works even better, though the surface will be a bit rougher.

Dupli color is worthless. We have used it number of times and no matter how well you prep work is, it will peel. No wonder is so cheap cost wise......

I used the rustoleum brand on my sliders and I've slid over some good sized rocks without scratching it. Put on 3 layers I believe. I took good car to clean the surface before spraying which may have helped but in any case I'm pretty happy with it.

I have used the Duplicolor and no matter how much care in prep you take it does not last. I haven't used their rollon but the rattle can stuff not good IMHO.
