How many gallons would I need?

Scab stepside I think it'd a 5.5ft box.

I see the kits at lowes. I think two would work.

I guess I can use as much as I want really.

I know im not having it done at a shop.

Stationed in Hawaii it was 300 bucks for my Sonoma stepside with rhino lining.

$650 is outrageous.

Just use the herculiner or duplicolor kit the gallon that comes with it and maybe an extra pint would be good. follow the instructions and spend a lot of time prepping it before ya go slapping it on there! I'm sure threes some youtube videos you could use for reference too

I didn't think about youtube.

I would reccomend google searching Raptor U-pol Spray in bed liner the kit from TP tools is around $110 To your door. It is a two part kit and i sprayed about three layers on with the kit. Isn't quite as thick as line-x but has held up well. I have only scratched it in one place and that would have sliced through any bed liner. I had researched it alot and decided that a two part kit was the way to go. Hope this helps

I used one gallon with the herculiner kit

I too used the Herculiner kit; got it at Pep Boys. I have the 6.5' ded, so I bought an extra pint as suggested in the instructions. I never used the extra pint. While I did not line the tailgate backing (left the plastic cover on it; used to have the plastic bedliner), i had enough in the gallon container to have coated it too.
While I've read that others say to have the bedliner sprayed on, I will state that the herculiner has been on for over 8 months now, and has not chipped, cracked, or peeled off. It looks great.

Follow the directions! Make sure you prep the surface as per their recommendations.

I spent the first day with their scuffing pad getting the "scheen" off the bed surface and making sure there was a good surface for the stuff to adhere to. The next morning I wiped the surface with acetone, then applied the first coat. After about an hour, I used a carboard box, opened flat to kneel on and applied the second coat. stir the product often to keep the rubber stuff suspended in the can.

And wear gloves! This stuff takes days to get off your skin! Be prepared to toss away an old tee shirt and pair of paints too.

Awesome. Thanks!

also the spray on cans of bed liner are good for the hard to reach/apply areas...ie seams, corners, and anywhere else that a brush or roller may have an issue.
