Best DIY bedliner

[Timmy390]

Looking to get you guys input on this. I've used Herculiner in the past some 15 years ago on my Bronco. The inside held up good but the outside has all but gone away.

Is there anything out there better now? Back then there was no UV protection available so I'm sure that was a huge factor in why the outside dissolved.

Looking to re-do the rear of the Bronco and do my new project....87 Samurai ragtop.

I used AL's liner but the hopper gun is a pain in the ass. The material works good and is holding up excellent for me for almost 5 years now since i sprayed it. Their cup brush for prep work really took the back breaking chore out of prepping the bed.

Doing it today I would use Raptor and tint it.

Monstaliner is my favorite.

I have nothing to add just subscribing because I want to do the interior my 73 this summer. Leaning towards Monstaliner or Durabak at this point. But not 100% sure.

Would love to have Linex premium done wish it wasn't so expensive. The bed of my Dodge has held up awesome with Linex.

Wish the Raptor site has more info on it. Pic's of the texture and such. They show a local distributor here in town but it's a paint store and I've tried to deal with them twice in the past with no luck.

I was looking at Monstaliner. I like the texture and I'm 100% positive I've see it on a few Heeps.

I know whatever I get will be 100% UV resistant.

I'm planning on Raptor. Google or Youtube search and you can find some videos. Part of the texture is pressure and / or distance from the gun to the surface. The closer the more texture, the farther the smoother. Or vice versa. I can't remember.

I have used this about 10 times over the past 8 yrs with great results and no sun fade.

U tube is definitely a great tool to see how to....

I used Raptor nearly 8 years ago and it still looks brand new. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again if needed. You can't beat it for the price, and the texture is similar to Line-X.

I did raptor inside and underneath. Very happy with the texture, easy to shoot and has held up very well.

Raptor it. You cant go wrong.

So he consensus is Raptor Liner.....

What gun is everyone using to shoot it? I rolled my last liner on due to the "chunks" in it. Looks like the KITS come with a gun.

How far "Real World" did the 4L kit go? 1 coat, 2 coats? Not even 1? I'm doing the back of my Bronco and a Samurai

I used the upol gun they sell.

I used the upol gun they sell.

So did I. I'd say start with two kits since you have a lot of area. That way you can save one gun for later use if needed. You usually have activator left over so if you need extra you can just buy a bottle or two.

A few folks have used the raptor, search on that in here and see what you can find.

Research is always the longest part isn't it lol Good luck sir

I love the Raptor liner. Fairly inexpensive and easy to apply with the schuetz gun. VERY durable so far from the use I have put on it on my bumpers, rock sliders, and tube steps. I also like the idea that if I need to touch it up I can do it myself!
