The bastards around here salt the roads something fierce. So in an attempt to protect the Jeep I decided to spray on some bedliner.

With a complete lack of research I went to O'Reillys and picked up some Duplicolor Bed Armor. I also used some yellow Frog Tape I had around.



Granted after I bought the product I read the reviews how the roll on stuff just plain sucks. I forged ahead with the spray anyway.

Sorry, no progress pics and I was rushing to get it done.

1. Clean surfaces with soap and water to remove dirt/wax.

2. Mask off the area with the tape.

3. Use a clear grease/wax remover solvent to clean again.

4. Use 180 grit sandpaper to scuff off all the clear coat.

5. Take an air hose or brush to remove all the dust.

6. Go over the area again with the grease/wax solvent.

7. Spray on bedliner in light coats. Wait between 5-10 mins between each coat.

Results







Conclusion
The Yellow Frog tape is the best I've ever used in getting a razor sharp line. I will never us ANY other product. It's about $8 on amazon or $10 at the store.

The Duplicolor Bed Armor went on easy and remained sticky for many hours. I was a bit worried, but I let it dry overnight and it became rock hard. The texture isn't like sandpaper, which is nice. It's very hard but smooth. I very pleased the final product and will use it again on my quarter panels. At $12 a can it makes for cheap armor.
