Can you see that patch? How about that seam? Nope. The texture of the Herculiner Truck Bed Liner paint hides it! Hopefully, it will provide some extra sound deadening inside as well.
It took a few days, and 2 full coats to roll on the paint. 1 Gallon covered the entire floor, trunk, rear wheel wells, and top of the brand new gas tank. I think it really looks awesome, and it’s a sign of things really starting to come together. I don’t even recognize the pictures of it before. I had almost forgotten all of the mice nests and rusty spots. My cousin did a great job patching and replacing the front floor panels. Herculiner did a great job of giving everything a more uniform look.
Started by prepping all the surfaces by hitting it all with a wire brush to get any loose dirt and rust off. Then vacuuming and using Prep-all to clean it all. The truck bed liner is pretty thick, but still easy to work with. The kit came with a roller that gave it its textured look. Definitely plan on using disposable brushes to get into the cracks. Though the can said it would dry to the touch in 2 hours, it took a day before being able to supply the second coat.
Not a glamorous job, but the results were well worth it. It should prevent rust and scratches for a very long time.
OH and if you get the paint on your skin, it will STAY. Use baby oil to get it off. It was the only way I could get it off my face when I splattered it taking the roller off the handle.
Pro Tip: Be sure to put plastic wrap under the lid of the can between uses. The liner hardens and will make it difficult to get the lid off.
