Has anyone tried the do it yourself roll in box liners?
Are they hard to get right and do they last very long?
I have heard that the dupli color ones suck but is there a best brand?

 

Like anything it is all in the prep. You need to sand the entire area or they will bubble up. I have used the Duplicolor and it did a good job for the year I had the truck. I liked it so much I ended up doing a motorcycle in the same stuff. I get compliments from everyone that see's it.

 

Motorcycle looks pretty good.
On the truck did you use the aerosol spray and then the roll in paint after?
Also is the duplicolor stuff UV resistant so the color won't fade?

 

Everyone I know who used the roll in bed liners has ended up with bad results. AS far as me... I had a spray in liner done with excellent results.

 

Spray in - my truck stayed outside and when I sold it it still looked good. I should mention though that I only really used it for hauling a trailer so the bed was not used very often. Maybe a few sheets of plywood and some 2X4's is about all the cargo it ever got so I didn't fully test it's strength.

 

Hey all. I just bought a 02' Long Bed with 4 wheel drive. It only has 54K miles on it too. The spray in liners around here are $530 . That's hwy robbery!
I'm thinking of the roll on kind myself, but may just stick with a bed mat. I'd like to hear more testimonies from others that have had it done first.

 

Spray in! i do my own, prep work IS the key.. its not bad to do on your own and saves a ton of $$$$$... i use the Xtreme Liner spray in kit from ebay (seller is trkspecialist), comes with a gun and all, plus you can get colors for about $10 more.. that stuff is awesome, just don't get it somewhere you don't want it!

 

Has anyone tried using rubberized undercoating as a bed liner? I think it could work pretty well if you dont haul too much. I just have a dirtbike and some frm stuff here and there and dont want to put to much money into it.

 

I rolled the inside of my jeep with it about 3 years ago,and it still looks good. On the other hand my father did the bed of his f-150 with it, and in less than a week it was already coming up. You have to spend a serious amount of time sanding and prepping it. If you don't make sure that you sand it perfectly,you are wasting your time,and your hard earned money by doing it yourself. I personally found that spraying down primer,and then rolling it works best. I have a "real" rhino lining in my chevy truck that was professionally done,and it is coming up a good bit, but the jeep that I did myself still looks great. So go figure. I guess it's all about taking your time,and making sure that you do the job the proper way.
