I've used the Dupli-color on my a-arms on my quads. It holds up decent, but not excellent. It doesn't hold up to rock spray very well, so I can't imagine it'll hold up well to stuff sliding in and out of a truck bed. It's definitely better then paint, but I wouldn't use it as a bed liner. I've had a few friends use the do-it-yourself Herculiner with good results, but that doesn't hold up nearly as good as the professional spray. It'll look nice for a few years, but if you use it hard, it begins to wear off in spots.

So as I posted.... Here is the follow up. Have it professionally installed. It's a great chore if your stubborn and can keep a clean mouth. I however had and am the opposite. Roller they give you is useless unless your painting plywood. Did entire thing with the 2" brush. Laid it on thick in my '04 SCrew FX4 and used bout 3/4 the bucket. Dries quick, best to do it near evening. Finishing in the am with second coat, as instructed, pushing 11 when finished made it extremely difficult with it basically baking on impact in the southern sun. Best of luck, I'm now enjoying an adult beverage just to the fact I'm done.
