Has anyone taken the do-it-yourself route for applying a spray in bedliner? Success? Favorite products? Thinking of doing it to my tacoma.

Herculiner or Duraliner works pretty good, or has for me. You can roll it on or they sell a sprayer for it. You can also run it through a texture hopper. Rolling it puts a pretty coarse stipple on it. This is what Duraliner looks like rolled on. Good luck!

I used the Raptor kit, available on Ebay, in the bed of my '71. It works good. it's pretty beat up now, but only in areas where the prep might not have been so good.
Prep is everything!

I used the dupont one from O'reilly's and the spray gun sucked!!!! I ended up just using the roller which turned out great. I did my whole 74' CJ5 with it. I've also in the past used the herculiner and put a bedliner in my last truck. Just be sure to take your time on prep work and you will be fine.

Yea im sure its all pretty close to the same. And yes I bet if you dont sand well enough it wont stick worth a dang. Think Im gunna get a gallon of the rustoleum flavor at autozone and roll it on. Will post how it goes.

Good luck with it. Be sure and get some extra chip brushes for the areas the roller won't reach. Another trick I figured out was to get a can of the spray can too, it helps in those tough areas too.

I just did an old 4X6 trailer. I used the herculiner product and i think it came out ALOT better than i expected. i did do a lot of prep by grinding all the old paint off right down to bare metal. then i primed it with spray cans. once the prep was done it only took about an hour to roll the first coat and half that for the second coat. i haven't used the trailer yet so it still looks pretty. it seems tough. i used my knife trying to scrape it away but it held well. hope you have good luck.

I wonder how that would work on my 30 year old dinged up fiberglass boat?

I used the rustoleum brand spray on, I also found it cheaper at Wal-Mart than at the auto parts store. I didnt have any other sand paper around beside what I used when I retextured my house, so I think it was 100 grit from home depot. I just scuffed the crap out of it, then drove to the car wash and washed my truck with some spray on degreaser and soap. Drove home, by that time it was dry. Masked off the windows, and went to town spraying it on. I did two coats. It turned out great and held up great never flaked off, or chipped, and always looked like new when washed!
Here is a pic right before I sold it!
How many cans did you use???? Wondering about how many it will take to the inside of a long bed? Tgt
I have a little bitty one. Think that will do?

Know one guy who used Herculiner. Did a remarkable job with a roller, but swore he'd never do another one.
Being basically a lazy oaf myself, when professionally done spray in liners can be had for as little as $400, why would you even want to mess with it?
