Been trying to decide which one to use and just came across SEM Rock-It-Liners and wondering if anybody has it and if it is holding up

I used Al's Liner. The only thing I would change is don't use their hopper gun, get a large orifice gun for heavy material. Much easier to manuver around the interior. Material is holding up great and fairly easy to apply. You can die it any color as well.

Raptor Liner

Raptor liner is a great Liner. It is a 2 part with UV resistance. I tried the herculiner and spent 2 days with a big wire wheel getting it off.

Though I have never used it, from all the reading I have done Al's seems to be the one the majority of people are happy with. I did the cheap dupli-color the 30 a gallon one, on my old truck and it actually held up pretty well. I had to touch it up twice but after that it held up nice. So I would imagine the better quality stuff is good for just about anything but the most extreme abuse.

With the POR you really need to scuff it with a wire wheel, or some serious elbow grease and a scotch brite pad... Its not really whats under the bed liner, it all about how it can adheere to what is being applied to... I have put Al's on a bunch of stuff, including a POR'd tub, and I am happy with it.. But like any Dyi liner, its all about PREP! I can't stess that enough.... Raptor is very similar to Al's. I just lean towards Al's because it is has a primer. Not sure if it make a dif or not, just one step I dont mind doing..... But with the Al's, vs Raptor, Al's does not come with a gun...

I used Raptor liner on mine and it came out great. Used it on my f150 bed also.

On using the Raptor liner how many coats do you get out of a kit and how big of an area I'm thinking of doing inside and bottom....
