so i talked to a guy about spraying my whole cherokee with bed liner and he told me $1500 to sand, prep, and paint.

What i was wanting to know is how many gallons do yall think i need?

Does anyone know how many sqaure feet a cherokee is? it says it will do 60 square feet or 1 6 foot bed.

This is the fifth or sixth time this has been covered.
Rough sand it yourself.
Get the gallons
2 will be plenty, may even have some left.
Tape off anything u don't want painted
Roll on a light coat
once dry, roll on a thick coat

So i should be able to paint the entire 4 door jeep cherokee, bumpers, grille, ect with 2 gallons of raptor liner?

I would rough sand it, wash it, dry it, then spray on a light coat, then another heavy coat?

I been trying to find a jeep cherokee with the whole thing sprayed

Ac works great and i mostly use it when i go wheeling since i got a company truck now

There are numerous pics online and on the forum

Most folks roll it on cause it gets a thicker more durable finish
And the spray doesn't cover as much for the price
And if you do the grill, bumpers, etc... You may cut it close on paint

And I think he meant "hot"
Like, sexxxy
Not warm
Lol

Another thread said that 2 gallons of Monstaliner is like $240 and that's more than enough to paint the entire XJ?

Chris, for spraying I will ask my buddy who sprayed mine its been awhile but I am sure he can give a good estimate. As for 1500 to sand tape and spray is a decent price. I paid 600.00 but I sanded it all down and he just taped and sprayed. Mine was sprayed with a Rhinoliner off brand which my take more or less to do than the product you may end up choosing to use. I havent any advice on rolling it on other than the prep is the key. As far as getting hot. I put spacers on the hood hinges. Some people may freak out about this but its the way I vented the engine. Seems to work well with living in south east Tx.

glad i saw this thread ive been wanting to do this to mine after some more mods. how many gallons do yall think for just the bottom half (right above the door trim line, or the body line)?

So how nice is it having the entire XJ bed lined? Pros or cons? A friend bought the 2 gallon kit, hasn't used it, and is selling his Jeep. So he'd sell me his kit for $200, and I'm very tempted..

Don't do it... Looks great when you first do it, but dirt sticks to really easily and is very hard to clean

Using a roller and doing two thick coats this took 2/3 of a gallon of Herculiner (to do both sides.) Bedliner is difficult to clean and will fade without a UV resistant coat. Regardless, it does it's job. I imagine it would take more than 2 gal to do the entire XJ, but maybe not.

Kinda sounds like my current paint job lol. I have some flat black that always has dirt to it, and when I wash it, wax looks like *****, and just gets dirty again. So I'm used to it. I thought it'd be easier to clean, since it's bed liner. Or is that just cleaning mud off?
