Even though I would love to do it myself, with what it looks like I would have invested into the project, it may be cheaper to have them do it.

hey what brand bedliner are you going with? I have been looking and there are so many kinds its crazy. I have no idea which is better or not and I am going to do mine as well. Yes, same with you, I know its being done all over the place but really I don't care about following a 'fad' I just want the protection and forgiveness of the textured paint. Plus, many of them come in tons of colors, so I can actually camo it if those are good brands. Your ideas?

ive sprayed it on a few different jeeps, and when prepped right the end result is right up there in quality with the profesional liners. texture and everything is very nice
EDIT, and also...ive sprayed/rolled many different brands of bedliner ranging from the budget Herculiner all the way to the top of the line stuff like Line-x and GatorHyde. so if you have a question about the quality of a certain brand i may be able to help you with it

IMO raptor is the best one on that list.

U-Pol Raptor FTW. Check tptools.com for a decent price, $110 to my door. The prep is 95% of the time to do the job properly and is the most important step IMO. I sprayed the U-Pol to mainly combat the rust that was developing on my rockers, but it does nothing if they are rusting from the inside out.
Current pic, 2 years on the U-Pol........

u lost me there. but anyway, i hope that your not going to use the bedliner just to cover up the rust and hope it goes away. the rust will still be there, its just that the bedliner will hold it together instead of fall apart. the bedliner is only as good as the surface its stuck to
