There's a post in the How-To section where a guy did his, I'll see if I can dig it up.

EDIT:
Found it.

I thought about getting one of the kits off ebay, theres one called raptor something or other and hippo liner. I couldn't see where anyone liked them better than the herculiner and they were like $50 more. See my truck is an old turd I'm fixing up so it's not as big a deal for me. If I had a nice newer truck I'd go to linex and rhino and get quotes first honestly, I can't see it being more than like $400, I think they do beds for around that right?
Yeah that's true. Idk how much it is for the bed, I got the dealer to do it for free when I bought my truck in 08. I honestly don't mind doing my own. I trust myself more than anyone else to work on my truck because it's my truck and I'll take my time and do it right. I think I'm going to try the Herculiner this weekend and see how it goes. I just don't know if I should sand my bumpers or just pay the little amount of money to get them sandblasted...

Nothing about that thread convinced me to use rattlecan bedliner. Do some research before you jump into using herculiner. You don't want to just try it cause it's not like you can get it off when you're done. Just do some google searches on bedliner two tone and look at what everyone says.

I wanted to do it, but never pulled the trigger on doing it myself. If I had the experience to spray it the right way, like they do beds, I would do it myself, but I don't.

I did. From all of the reviews I read, Herculiner is good but has a rough texture and Monstaliner is smoother and is one of the best but costs around $150 for the 1 gallon kit and $230 for the 2 gallon kit. I just don't know how many gallons I should get. And the Monstaliner you can only get online.

A lot of the kits on ebay come with the spray guns and people say it's not much different than spraying paint. I don't think the cheap guns come with pressure regulators though, which is rather important. I considered it but from what I read using those rollers makes for a much rougher finish and that's what I wanted with my truck.

I think if you use the roll on ones and do it right, they look just as good as the spray on ones like rhino and line-x and for half of the price. Just gotta do a lot of prep work.

Everyone says a gallon does a 6 foot bed easy so I figure there's more square footage in the bed than doing the two tone. I think the gallon will be plenty for what you and I are planning. I gotta get some dry days so I can get some body work done first, it's been raining every other day for two weeks.

It's kinda nice to have that warranty though. I gotta buy tires for my truck so I'm not looking to spend that $400 to get it done. That's only 2 tires..
