HERCULINER HCL1B8 Roll-on Bed Liner Kit,Black, 1 Gal.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Reviews were spot on. It covers great; it is rough. My knees don’t like it. I have a Honda Ridgeline (5’ bed). One gallon covered with two coats easily and I put it on thick. I have some left. 1 quart would not have been enough. Works great protecting the bed from scratches. Easy to apply. Wear gloves. The picture makes it seem like there are scratches but it was the lighting.

Works well and looks great! It was an extensive process to prep my floor because of the surface rust and metal patching that needed done. But , the product fit the bill and I’ll use it again.

Great product. For the people leaving reviews saying it doesn’t look pretty, it probably turned out that way due to human error. If you follow the directions, don't cut corners while prepping the bed, tape your edges well, and take your time then you will have a great product when finished. I bought 2 gallons and used it on my 9ft utility bed, ended up with around a half gallon left over after applying two generous coats. I feel it took a little over 48 hours after applying the second coat for it to fully cure. Im happy with the product and would recommend to anyone who has a little time and wants to save $500+ doing it themselves versus taking it somewhere to be done. Also, do yourself a favor and use/get a respirator. I couldn’t find mine and figured I would be fine without it, halfway through the first coat I stopped and went to the home depot down the street to buy a new one.

I've always wanted to do this for my F150, but never had a chance. I've been looking at Rhino as well as Line-X for years, but I wouldn't hand over my truck for a day, since I'm using it all day long, besides, those products are not DIY, nor are they cheap.I just picked up a 95 Jeep Wrangler and it was the perfect opportunity to do this bed-liner. Once it is done, I can use the Jeep and strip down the F150, so this was my test-bed.I'm a heavy DIY guy and I love doing things myself, mostly because I don't trust shops to actually do the job right, well, or up to my standards. I am also a "spray" guy and love to spray everything because from experience, spraying produces much more even layering as well as the added benefit of hitting those really hard to hit areas.Well, first of all, the package was actually very well thought out. The kit comes with a gallon of liner, a scuff pad, a paint brush, a 4" roller handle, and two texture rollers. Granted, I found little use for the paint brush, except to slather off the liner from my stir stick. It does little good for the actual paint-job. The scuff pad - well, most reviewers who give this product a positive review say that this one scuff pad (about 6" square) is enough and all you need. I actually would disagree, but my philosophy is, this liner kit costs roughly $100, will probably take about 1/2 day to do (once you've emptied, stripped and cleaned your vehicle (which would be another 1/2 day to a day, if you had nothing better to do), you should do the job right and do it well. I do lots of powder-coating in my shop and that stuff if HARD to remove. So, if you were to screw this bed-liner up, it will be even HARDER to remove and do again, so spend the extra time to do it right. If Amazon will allow me to upload pictures, I'll upload what I did. In total, it probably took me about 4 hours to remove everything; seats, carpet, roll cage, hooks, screws... you name it. Then it took me 4 nights to not just scrub but strip the paint off to bare steel, with little paint left in the tight corners that my 4" grinder, 6" DA sander and 2" abrasive surfacer couldn't reach. I would say, the interior was about 99.5% stripped to the metal. A 6" square scuff pad wouldn't be able to do that. I went through about 10 6" 40-grit sanding pads, and about 10 2 inch abrasive pads.Once that was all done, I had to mop the interior - twice. Then with the towels. Once I was fairly satisfied, I went over with alcohol. I should have went with acetone, but I didn't have any handy.On to the liner. I still wanted to spray the liner, since I also purchased, the Astro undercoat gun, but never used it. I'll probably use it when I'm ready to coat the underbelly of the Jeep, but that's another day. I tried rolling the tail gate and it came out NICE! Of course, you have to stir the liner in the can to mix up the rubber bits that are all sitting at the bottom. The first coat seems to go on really thin, and I was a bit worried that I had made a mistake, not with rolling but with the Herculiner product. It did look nice though, but you could see some bare metal in some spots, especially tight corners.This was done early Friday evening, so I was able to get the first coat down before the wife called for dinner. After dinner, I went back to the shop to apply the second coat. This was about 1-1/2 hours later and the paint was still tacky in some areas. It still looked nice. I COULD have walked away and called it good, but like I said, it felt a little thin and you could see metal in some tight corners, so I started to apply the second coat. This is why they supply two rollers, since the first would probably dry up and become unusable after you come back for the second coat. The second coat goes on quite thick, maybe 3-4 times thicker than the first coat. I actually like the texture of the first coat better than the second, but the "more texture" look from the second coat is growing on me. It is now Sunday and I've mounted the driver's seat, sat in the chair, dusted up the liner, my 4 year old has been climbing in and jumping out the back, dusting up the rest of the Jeep and it seems to be taking a beating.So far, so good. With the stripping and prepping job that I did on the box, if this liner starts to peel, I'll either say I did it wrong and you need the paint under-coat, or the product is no good. But I've got this stuff all over the shop floor (Jeep floor has drainage holes and I didn't realize it was going to drip through), I'm not sure how I'm going to get that stuff off. I've also got some one my hands, fingers and arms and it's just starting to come off... so don't get any on ya. I wore nitrile gloves, and this liner gets everywhere because you really need to spin the roller to get the liquid all over it, so you will get it on your gloves/fingers, which in turn will get all over YOU.Now, I can't give it a 5-star because I was expecting this to be 'softer', like Rhino. I was led to believe it would be softer because the texture bits are pieces of ground up rubber tires so you would think it's softer and has some give. I think this is some sort of 1-part urethane resin or something, which cures HARD, regardless of the rubber bits within. So, although this stuff is tough, it will rough you up if you fall into it.Oh, I only used about 3/4 of the product so I will probably save it to do under the hood or inside of the fenders. It also looks so good that... get this... even my wife and 16yo daughter love the look of it. So, this stuff is awesome, looks awesome and REALLY easy to do... even without spraying!--------------------------------- UPDATE ---------------------------------It's now 9/23/2013, obviously it's still holding up but I wanted to mention that I had 3/4 gallon left and I wanted to do the underbelly and/or fenders and/or the roof of the hood. So I removed the hood off the Jeep and I went to town on it with the 6" DA. I didn't go down to the metal like I did the cabin, so we'll see how this holds up, especially with the addition of engine heat. I just applied the first coat so this is fresh in my mind. I'm still planning on doing two coats for the hood and we'll see how the second coat goes. What I wanted to mention is this, if you still have some of the Herculiner left, go buy some texture rollers right away, because when you're ready to coat something else, you won't have the correct rollers and like me, I had some (12") wall texture rollers laying around that I didn't want to go to waste so I cut them in half and started to paint. First of all, the fabric shredded in a weird way that makes it awkward to roll, but that's not the point. These are the fuzzy texture rollers and they leave splotches of rubber bits where you first touch down. Then you start spreading the resin around... mostly without the rubber bits so it's completely uneven. I'm not going to bother getting new texture rollers since I'm hoping this stuff will help deaden some engine noise, nothing more. This doesn't affect my rating on the product at all, just a tip for all you guys planning on using this product.

This kit is super easy to use, clear instructions and works great. If you have the time this will save you $300-$400.

A lot of solid prep work but terrific results.

Super easy to apply. I have a 2024 Ram 2500 6’ bed. There is enough to give the bed 2 coats if you wanted to. Highly recommended.

I think you should upgrade the brush and roller. The roller came apart using it and the brush is cheap. The texture is rough and you definitely need at least 2 coats. I have an 8 ft bed and still had some areas that I missed. The smell is strong. I was disappointed in the quality and hope it will last.
