I just got my rear bumper and plastics done today at a place that does it on military hummers. Ill post pics tomorrow after I mount it

 

I've had mine on for over 6 months rub against some trees and rocks holds up a lot better than i thought it would. rocks were harder on the herculiner than the trees

 

Well I just bought a pack or sanding blocks at ACE hardwear. You dont need somthing really really rough, but you need something thats a little rough. Just something to scuff it up a little. To rough and youll be able to see all the scuffs. And I havent had any problems with it fadding. I used 3 coats total. Used the roller on most of the rockers, and then I did the inside of the door because you could see my white strip and I dident like it so U chose to do the lip inside the door. And I had to just spongue those spots in.

 

ya my interior and lower half is herculiner and it works great its old and has held 2 different rattle can colors

 

May go a new route instead of what i said in the beginning, Lets say i hold off and only do my bumper end caps right now, and my door trim. If i do two thick coats, one 1 quart be enough, you think, or should i still get the gallon

I think im going to get steel bumpers in march so im just looking for a quick way to clean up my end caps right now. The wife hates the way they look all cut up and discolored, not sure why when they will be covered in mud once they are cured.

So will a quart be Enough?

 

it should be enough

 

thats what i was thinking, its says it will cover 15sqft with 2 coats, hopefully i can go alittle thick.

 

Post some pics because I would love to see your finished product!!! I was thinking of doing my bumpers lower doors and tire wells.

 

This stuff rocks. I've had my rockers and inside hurculined since I bought it. It holds up well I end up doing my whole jeep even tho I swore I never would but it looks awesome and I love it . The only problem with the herculiner I had was it fades. But it's nothing that high gloss black won't fix. Lol

 

also when you do it dont just roll it on cuz it blochs up and leaves uneven bumbs so try to use the brush alot on the final coat

 

I'd say don't brush it. I mean when you roll it it goes on a lot thicker. I'd rather have a lot more protection. I tried brushing it. And you'll get streaks in the stuff. Then you gotta go over it again and again. I'd roll it it looks best. Imo

 

Do you guys think Rust-oleums spray on bedliner can compare to Herculiner? Are they the same basically? Is one more durable than the other?

 

Herculiner is awesome stuff jus don't get it on ya. Hard to get off and there's more prep. But the rust oleum spray bedliner is pretty decent.

 

any other opinions? Also, how many coats would you guys suggest with Rust-oleums spray on?

 

I did the plastics fenders and it is holding up fine. check my build thread for pics, i dont have any on this comp i can post. I left the carpet in just to keep it looking nicer.
1 gallon got 2 heavy coats, inside and out. Than 1 pint got 2 heavy coats for the rocker and bumper
