Go has used a DIY bed liner? I don't wanna spend 400 bucks on linex. Anyone use one of these? I know they don't have the quality as linex but with the price, I don't care. And pictures and info and links are all appreciated!

 

One I can spray with a compressor too. And how to. Thanks!

 

I did the herculiner on my bed of my old pickup and it worked great. Make sure you get enough to do a couple of coats though. Also follow the instructions closely and make sure you scuff the entire bed thoroughly. It would probly be best to get down to the bare metal but thats a lot of work. Most guys I have talked to about it say just get the paint scuffed real good and make sure its clean before you start puttin the herculiner on.

 

^ ditto on what he said about the prep. I used duplia color bed armor. Surface prep is key! Scuff it up super good and wipe it all down and clean it with acetone or something similar.

 

It's not worth it. You'll spend $200 on materials to even get a decent coat. It won't be nearly as even or durable as a spray on liner. If you aren't satisfied, there is no going back to line x.

$400 for Line x is worth it. Remember the lifetime warranty.

 

^x2...and this isnt meant to be a smartass comment but it will look a lot better too because it would be done by professionals

 

I got my kit on sale for 80 bucks... Only a 5.5 bed tho. Hauled lots of wood with it and it's holding up great so far. But I agree a Line-x or rhino or a professional kit is much better quality

 

oh and make sure you remove the bed bolts/tell the place to remove the bed bolts...the place that rhino lined my ranger bed went right over the bed bolts...that pissed me off!

 

Not just done by professionals, but with professional equipment. Line x is applied at 225 degrees/2200psi.
