It works. From what I have seen the roll on is not as smooth but with the right prep work and a couple of well applied coats and you'll be fine.

If you want it right, prep prep prep and then prep some more. Just remember to protect any thing you don't want lined. Seatbelt bolt holes, seat studs, etc. Do it when you have lots of time to let it air out.

Just weld a small plate to the size you need. 14 guage worked for me. This was my floor. Started by cutting it out till i got into meaty metal. Then sand off to prep the weld. Depending on where your hole is i paint the gullet thing under. Once u start cutting it open youll understand. Then weld a plate over it. Paint that. I used por 15 but u can use just about anything. Good luck. Look at my pics if u need more info. Or pm me

Getting it welded is the best option but you can rivet if you want

Welding is your best option but plenty have riveted before. I also used the rustoleum spray on bedliner and it came out great. I did 2 coats and used 3 cans. I liked it so much I decided to use that for my rockers, wheel wells, and around the edge of my fenders. No complaints so far. I had used the duplicolor before and within 2 weeks it was chipping off

I love that stuff! It's not aggressive textured and it goes on nice!
