O it's going slow but I have sanded off the bottom half paint to bare metal. Replaced one door due to rust then rhino lined the bottom half. Come summer the top half will be painted Deseret tan. Just thought I'd share.. On my second coat. Will do one more.

Was thinking of doing this to my lower quarters and across the rockers was curious how hard it was to tape off and what was your process on that did you pull the tape right away before it dried??

From what i hear, it can hold the mud in well. mine hasn't really been on or off the road (needs inspected) buti figure a car wash should clean it pretty good.

As for the guy asking about the taping, it's a peice of cake. I let mine dry then peeled it off. Nice sharp edge, and I stayed away from the top half with all the windows...lol

Who did you take it to get rhino lined? Looks more like a DIY liner.

I am pretty sure anyone who rhinolines theres does it as a DIY. I don't think a paint shop would justify the pure lack in need of any of their paint hardware to make rhinolining a cost-effective way to produce any money. And, most paint shops have a name to uphold, aka: the reason they won't just do a cheap job for someone who can't afford a full paint.

And just know that when a lot of people say Rhinolined, we do not all use Rhinoliner, but Rhinoliner is the most accepted form of the truck-bedding type stuff we use. I am sure seth would agree, this job is so easy there is absolutley know personal justification in paying someone to do it when it is this easy, and really cheap comparing to the alternative...

I would get raptorliner. I did a TON of research on DIY bedliners and it was being compared to Line-x.. And for those of you that dont know, line-x is rated for BOMB protection. Thats saying something... That and the stuff is 100 bones for everything you need

I herculined my entire xj, getting dirt and mud off it is damn near impossible. I got it clean once... Took 3 hours and a lot of scrubbing with a brush. Pressure washer alone just moves the dirt and mud around.
