Default My Jeep is ready to "line"

So it's all sanded down and almost completely prepped. Just need to mask:




I can't decide what to line it with! I like the Raptor, but it's not available local. Herculiner is, but I heard it's more rubbery? Does anyone know how the textures compare? From the pics I've seen, I am looking more for what the Raptor, Rustoleum looks like.

I heard Herculiner is great stuff. Never heard of Raptor before, so I don't know about them.

you can filter out some of the heavier material by using a screen filter that way it is more uniform and less crappy looking. plus that way if you ever slide a knee on it you wont get to messed up. oh and are you using spray or roll on

Well I was hoping to spray. Less work and more uniform. I found the raptor locally but for $160 w/gun. The herculiner kit at wally world is $76, and autozone has the rustoleum on sale where you buy a gal for $59 and get the kit for free. Plus rustoleum has the spray for those hard to reach places. Hmmm. Tough choice.

I used the rustolium in the hard to reach parts and the hurculiner on the rest. LOVE IT.

No tar sheet. Just the sheet metal.

They aren't that bad to get off...time consuming, but like I said, not that bad.
