Those lines your talking about are roller laps it's when you roll back into the part that already has a coat of bed liner on it making the product thicker in those places.

[@hdkevin4387]

Line X is the cats meow. Better than Rhino lining and other commercial installs. I'm going to save up for it on my next truck but I'm glad I don't have bare metal anymore. Ha ha

[@matthewbell9517]

$1k min vs $100.

[@drdrew3]

Read the reviews on LineX before you endorse them. Their employees are required to spend less than 2 hours per vehicle so they skimp on prep and quality control. Each guy is expected to do 4 trucks a day. They just line them up and crank them out. The result is a finish that chips and peels. Good luck trying to get them to fix it down the road. DIY results like this video are better lasting and 1/10 the price. But not everybody is handy and diligent so just drop it off at LineX and cross your fingers for the rest

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Nice demo, Kevin. Truck bed looks professionally done! Thanks for explaining it so well. I also appreciate the low noise level of the music. Best is no music. 1. Use an angle grinder with a wire cup brush ($5 at Harbor Freight) to sand contours. Works well., 2. Do you know if Herculiner is an Epoxy or a Polyurethane based paint? Epoxy has a shorter pot life land tends to crack under vibration. 3. Can you custom tint Herculiner?

[@hdkevin4387]

Thanks for the compliment! Great idea on the wire cup. As for the base, it’s polyurethane. I do know it sat in my basement for years before applying and had no issues. I am not sure on tinting. I think it comes in a few basic colors. Raptor liner seems to be a big player in the game being tintable

[@lass-inangeles7564]

@@hdkevin4387 Raptor Liner is an epoxy paint. This means short pot life and prone to crack under vibrations. Not the best choice for vehicles. It is also only sprayable, no brush work or rollers probably due to short working time before it hardens. Therefore I am looking for other solutions - polyurethane based paints.

Is the sanding a must or can I skip the process ??? Reason I ask I want to do a whole inside of a 94 GMC Yukon...

[@hdkevin4387]

I think it is a must. But if you’re not going to beat the heck outta it, you may be ok. I just sanded rather than “scuffing” or “roughing” it for speed purposes. There were some areas on the side of my bed I missed and it still looks the same as it did when applied

JMR Rebuilders you’re welcome! I apologize for the delay. I do not recall getting a notification about your comment. The only slight issue I’ve noticed is on the tailgate. I used the palm sander and on some of the raised stamping all the paint was removed. The coating did not adhere to it as well and it has worn off slightly from repetitive use of ramps. Otherwise the other near 100% is perfect

@@CarlosContreras-pz3md Hello. In my opinion I think you'll be ok! I do similar actions and have had no issues at all. If you're shoveling gravel from your bed daily I would be concerned. What is nice about this product is you can get a quart and touch up any areas that may get randomly damaged. And I believe there is a warranty too so reaching out to the manufacturer is a good option.

I only have one issue on the whole bed and that’s the raised parts of the stamps I over-sanded down to bare metal. My aluminum ramps rub on it and have since worn off the liner back down to bare metal. But I probably have 30 or 40 uses on the ramps since then.

[@JRs-guitars]

The sun will break it down fast, in one year I had factory paint showing through. Absolute junk, I am a pro so don't say I didn't do it right. I also ordered 2 kits. Hopefully you don't use your truck bed because the texture will grab and tear open concrete bags and if you slide in a sheet of sheet rock it will destroy it. Oh yah and if you slide in a sheet of melamine it will shave it to the factory paint because it is not hard enough and bad adhesion. I hate my 04 Dodge Ram anyway so it will look like cra_ until I kill it. Do Not Waste Your Time And Money!
