That's the site I'm on for it tptools. I'm going to assume you got the 100 dollar kit with the gun and such? How much of that did you use for just your rockers?

1/4 of the supplied material

Check out http://www.monstaliner.com/monstaliner_why_choose.htm too, they are a 2 part system also. They weren't around when I made my purchase. I read that U-Pol is an English co. where as Monstaliner is Right out of NY.

So Im looking at the: ML90RK2G 2 Gallon Bedliner Kit - Black (Includes complete tool kit below #MLRTK) $239.00

I don't think 1 gallon would be enough for the whole thing..but damn $250 is a little more than I was looking to spend but it look like its legit

FWIW I used the duplicolor spray on bedliner to do the lower panels on my two chevy blazers and after a year it's still looking good and wearing well. A couple things I learned though regarding a good outcome:
1) prep well with some sandpaper, I roughed everything up with a good 200 grit paper and then wiped it all down with a damp cloth.

and the biggie!

2) For some reason wind screws up the drying process, every time I tried applying any either in the wind or when it was below 70 or so degrees it dried weird and had like a white film over it, but if I kept it sheltered and only worked when it was warm it came out great.

Here's a shot of one of the blazers about a week after I sprayed it. (The brown behind the front tire is dirt, not a problem with the finish).

I agree with JeepJunky, the prep is 95% of the outcome. Whether you paint/bedline, you can buy top-of-the-line and it'll still look like crap if you don't take the time to prep it right. The paint/bedline is only as good as the surface it's applied to.
I had an old 89 Ford F150 that the po bedlined the whole thing from the top of the body lines down and you COULDN'T HURT THAT THING WITH A HAMMER!!! It actually looked really good too.
