Default Herculiner Rocker Panels

Decided to try a new project this week, I used Herculiner to paint the bottom rocker panels and it came out better then expected! Would recommend it to anybody, Check it out

Looks great! Did you use the UV protectant top coat to keep it from turning gray?

I did not use the UV protectant but with the herculiner I applied multiple coats to make sure it sticks. But, in the future I will look into the UV protectant, that is a good idea I didnt think of!

It was fairly easy, all you have to do is tape, scuff, apply, and dry. Overall with all of the coats, It took me 5 hours to tape the whole truck, scuff the gloss, and apply the first coat. Once you do that, let it dry over night and apply the second coat early that morning and you should be in good shape!

okay thanks! How much Herculiler did you use? I just bought a gallon to do my bed I would think I would need more that that to do the bed and rockers right

Nah, you should be good with whatever you have left. I bought the herculiner kit with a gallon of herculiner and I barely went through MAYBE half, and that was 2 full coats. [MENTION=184155]Jkob10[/MENTION]
