Anyone have any experience w/DIY bed liners? Looking to spend under $100 on the liner itself. Possible?

i have used the dupli-color stuff before

best bet for a thick layer is to use this to apply it...

you gotta be sure to prep the area well - i did the inside of the heep and its peeling in some of the corners because i didnt prep it like i should have - i also used the spray cans on the heep - the spray gun puts it on thicker and you should give it 2 or 3 coats - its no rhino or line-x, but all in all, its not bad stuff...

I think for that price you would have to go with one of those brush on rubberized kits that comes in a gallon paint can. Is that what you are after? There are shops around here that spray on some liner but I am sure that is beyond 100 bucks.

My paint guy owes me some favors for some 12v audio equipment I hooked him up with. He'll be stripping it down for me. :)

..but thanks for your input bromie.

I've got the manpower to do it. I can either spray or brush.. even roll. Doesn't matter to me either which way. Any are feasible. :)

there are also roller kits for the dupli-color, but i have never used them...

i have only used the spray cans and the air gun - air gun gave the best results - spray cans are good for smaller areas/parts...
