Yeah just make sure that before you throw a coat on it you hose it down and clean it up so that no dirt, grease, or any other unwanted debris gets painted over.

I'm definitely going to bed line the XJ when the weather gets warmer. Hopefully it'll be easier to (keep) clean. lol

Not trying to crap all over your Jeep, been there and done it with cheap rattlecan bedliner and half assed prep. You'll regret it when it fades and starts peeling and turns into a major hassle removing it to do it right.
About 6 months since paint hasn't faded or chipped yet.

The problem with spray on bedliner is that it's basically paint, just like basic spray paint, it won't last, it scratches like paint and rubs off like paint. It looks good, I'm considering this from the upper body line down on mine. Just not sure I want to use spray on rattle can bedliner.

Not even close on your analysis of it if not prepped properly that can be the case I'd just do the lower quarters first.

I think when I do mine I'll use raptor liner, not some rattle can product.

I did, from the body line down on mine with raptor and it looks great! I own a body shop and have been using raptor for at least 3 years with zero complaints and no fading problem yet. I think I am going to paint my jeep this summer a satin green and go over the raptor and see how it looks.

Holds up just the same just not as coarse.
