Rolling my own bedliner tomorrow. Any last minute tips?
I have all the stuff to roll my bed liner tomorrow. I've done it before, but just was curious if someone had something I haven't head before. Wish me luck :nunchuk1:
Has anyone used a grinder with a wire brush on the bed for prepping purposes?

Dont know much about the roll on bed liner, but my spray in Line-X Ultra is so nice looking
not going to lie it cost alot around $400, wonder why you cant buy the same stuff they spray with and just do it your self, its gotta be more labor than product that you pay for when you get a spray in.

I would roll it on kinda thick. Ive seen some people who just roll it like its paint. It turns out so thin it just tears off when stuff hits it.

I've been tossing the idea around of doing the same to mine as well. (Maybe the color coded liner to match the color of the truck.) Exactly the way I would do mine. The whole bed, EXCEPT, for the side rails and I would do the rear rail near the back window. Looks nice man!!

Prep work! Take your time, and when you think you've finished spend thirty more minutes. I did one of my trucks awhile back, was happy with it for about a month. Then the black turned gray and it started to chip.
My opinion is to save the cash and get Line-X, or get Al's liner it's a better product than Herculiner. http://www.alsliner.com/
