DIY BEDLINER

I made some step bars for my z71. What is the best for the $$ (DIY) bedliner?

Not herculiner, fades and peels after a short time. You could take them to line x and get them sprayed.

I have used the Raptor Liner that is sold many places online. It's actually a spray on DIY. Was very durable. Goes one sorta like a line X. Smooth texture.

UPOL Raptor is where its at! Cheap and DIY. Looks great after you spray it on.

A few things I've done with it.

GMC Denail

Glassworks Tacoma fenders

Inside of a CJ7

Is it spray can or gun? I'm gonna do all the inside of my jeep TJ.

No. It comes with a gun that you hook up to air compressor. Its stupid simple to do though.

Thanks everyone looks like I'll be getting the rapter kit.

Be sure to post pics! You will think its intemidating at first (atleast I did..) but once I started spraying, it was easy as landspeeders mother. The CJ7 interior was done with only half the kit, A whole kit would have looked even better.

Best price I found was on ebay, around $110.

Has anyone used Grizzly Grip bedliner? Or is the Raptor kit the best DIY Liner?

There are some things that you should get done by people with experience. As far as interior, you may be fine with the DIY kit, but if you ever decide to line anything where the coating will be tested, I'd have it done at your local truck shop.... Just my two cents. Goodluck!

That Denali truck bed I did is still going strong at 2+ years.

Pics of the setup? Me and paperstreet both use to spray at a local truck shop. I also worked at line x which used a different setup. Just curious to see the application process for this stuff. Either way with a decent product and good prep work you should be fine.

I think it looks good. It's what I'll put in my wrangler. :dblthumb:

If your asking me, I posted pics of truck at top of page. You mix hardener with the Bedliner and shoot it on with a air compressor.

I was referring to the spray gun but you answered my question with the mixing part.

I agree, as long as your meticulous with the prep work, any decent chemical should hold up to average wear..the reason I say use a shop for the parts that take a beating is because when it chips in a small spot, and 9 xs outta 10 it will, it's a pain in the a$$ to prep the whole truck out to fill in a 1" x 1" hole. As long as the shop warranties their work, you can relax and let them work for free!!!!
