- Опубліковано 19 сер 2018
- Which spray-in truck bed liner coating is best? Dupli-Color, Rustoleum, Plastikote, EZ Liner, and Herculiner tested. A bed liner coating is great for all sorts of metal surfaces around the home or shop, not just pick-up truck beds. In this video, I tested several common brands for durability in the cold, hot, resistance to chemicals, impact, scratch resistance and more.

might want to include with and without primer on it also. Some of these may act completely different when a bonding agent is added between the liner and old paint or raw metal. Some of the differences seen in cold weather testing and room temperature may actually be differences between how they bonded to old paint versus raw metal.
How about comparing to professionally applied coating like Rhinoline?
Raptor liner, please include that one!
Reading my mind
Raptor liner
You are more valuable than consumer reports.
Thank you!
Consumer reports are crao. Anyway, most people. Who. Review don't even know how to use it. Properly and complain, or if. It breaks they don't call manufactor
By a long shot.
@@richterman3962 your keyboard is the only thing broken here
Agreed! :)
And if you're like me, I want the most bang for my buck but don't have time to figure stuff out like this, that's why I love this channel.
Thank you!
Cut to the chase and find a Rhino dealer.
In my country, doing a Video like this would get you sued (most likely by the least favourite brands), I enjoy watching these here.

It's pretty safe to say that you've got one of the best channels on UA-cam. You really ought to know how much we apprecite the work you put in
Wow, thank you!
The amount of time and effort and attention to detail is truly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Imagine the conversation between the neighbors when Project Farm comes driving by in his truck...🤣🤣 Neighbor 1 to neighbor 2: "here comes that man again with the green truck that has 7 different bed-liner stripes, with the front bumper held in 5 by zip ties and back bumper held on with Loctite". Neighbor 2 to neighbor 1: "oh that's nothing, I heard he runs 4 lawnmower engine under the hood of his truck, and they all have cylinder heads made of JB.Weld and he runs Amazon Basic Motor Oil in them with Restore oil additive in all 4 engines so he gets better compression". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always inpressed in the amount of work you put into your vidoes
Thank you!
Thank you for leaving out the sound when you were scratching the surfaces!
I would like to see how Raptor liner holds up
Lol exactly! But I still imagined it and cringed! : )
He could have included ear protection along with the other PPE at minute 0:34 : )
Duuuuuuuude, your videos are so valuable to me and I’m sure many others. Humbly speaking on behalf of all of us, I can’t tell you how much your channel means to us:
Thanks so much!
Instead of pro sprayed stuff, which would obviously be very superior, to me the interesting comparison would be 2-part spray at home kits. SEM and UPOL among others have a spray yourself kit, about $100, they come with a spray gun, and mix with a hardener. That's the real reason these spray can ones all failed, they aren't hardened, just dried via evaporated solvents. Put solvents back on them, they'll just turn back to liquid again.
Great test idea!
THIS is what I would like to see. This single part in can stuff generally sucks.
@@ProjectFarm I second that idea! Been considering doing the Raptor Liner on my jeep. Would be cool to see you put it through it's paces before I pull the trigger though.

@@ProjectFarm would definitely like to see this ^
Lol all the good omes
Surprised they weren't included here...
I’m personally a big fan of rusty metal for minimum friction and cost. It’s also got a rather easy installation.
Works best if you start with 1/2" or greater metal though so that it doesn't weaken as much over the years... I wonder how much a pickup would weigh if ever piece of sheetmetal was replaced with 1/2" plate though... :)
Lol. Unfortunately, strength / durability / service life varies greatly
Fairly good camiflage too!
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire Perhaps better just starting off with an armoured car.
Hands down one of the best channels on UA-cam. Always informative. Always valuable. Always clean. The class, respect, and decency of Mr. Project Farm shine through consistently in every video. He is the epitome of the good old hardworking, thoughtful, classic American man. Thank you for your time and videos!
Thank you very much!

First thing I thought of when I heard that lmao
I almost immediately thought of pewds reviewing flex seal xD
-Bill Swift
I SAWED THIS BOAT IN HALF!
Thanks for not wasting my time with this video...you went about the testing with pretty good planning and I can appreciate it. Good work.
Thank you!
Your no-nonsense, straight forward testing is excellent. I've used a lot of your videos to help decide which product to use for a variety of things. Thank you for providing these to us.
The one suggestion I would offer, though, is to also add a numeric value to your scores that can be summed up for a total score. For example, A=5 and F=1. Using this method it is easier to immediately see which product does better overall at a glance. Using this method on your chart, Plasticote = 32, EZ-Liner & Rustoleum = 30, Duplicolor = 31 and Herculiner = 28. The A-F grade per category allows people to choose based on individual criteria, but the numeric score provides a "best overall" value.
Regardless if you ever use this method, I definitely look forward to future test videos.
Hey man! You're very meticulous when it comes to your videos... I'm from Malaysia, and I really love the fact that you include the metric units in all your measurements and readings. For example, temperature. It's a rare thing for an American UA-camr to do. Keep it up! Loving your videos!!!
Thank you!
I never thought about it this way, but it's very true.
It's not too rare. It's much more rare for metric supremacists to refuse to acknowledge the existence of the imperial system, as well as try to reinforce the narrative that the imperial system sees no use outside of the US. Of course if you've ever been to Canada, the UK, anywhere in the Caribbean, northern Mexico, and other places, you know this is not the case.
@@cm01 the imperial system is terrible. This is coming from someone in manufacturing and engineering. Take, for example adding 5mm and 8mm, easy to do. Then try to add 3/16" and 5/32". Water freezing at 0 vs 32...the imperial system should be abolished.
@@bradbb2005 adding 3/16" and 5/32"? easy, 11/32". I do that in my head all day long and you can too, unless you, the engineer, is dumber than me, the lowly carpenter. Unlucky there mate gg better luck next time. Try to wrap your head around the idea that people that use the imperial system all day like it.
That doesn't mean its better, but we aren't going to switch from QWERTY to DVORAK anytime soon either. It works just as well once you get to know it even if it is a little inferior in theory. Nobody wants to re-learn. Obviously we all already know the metric system, but getting it as drilled into our thinking as the imperial system would take a lifetime.
I'd really loved to see a comparison of rubberized undercoatings!
3M, SEM, Permatex, Rust-Oleum, Dupli-Color, CRC, and Bondo.
There are even more brands like POR-15, Zenex, Transtar, and Evercoat.
Thank you for the video idea!
Get back to making aw11 videos!
@@ProjectFarm Don't forget Plastidip!
Also don't forget chassis saver. It is crazy strong used it on my truck resto.
@@anayaj6355 Haha totally missed this comment. I need the snow to go away!
This really shows you the value of a factory bed liner.
Good Point!
I bought a TX Tacoma with an original Toyota-brand plastic liner. It's durable and looks good, especially for being a '98 commercially owned rig. Only one problem, the bed of my otherwise totally rust-free truck is rotted out under the plastic liner. Maybe the plastic liners seemed like a good idea when new. I thought that drilling drain holes on each end of the ribs might prevent the problem. Does anyone have any experience with this?
@@elultimo102 I'm dealing with the same rust issue with the plastic liner. I'm pretty much going to get rid of the plastic liner and go with a spray on. I can't think of any way to keep out the moisture when it's fully encapsulated. That said, I may go with the Plasticote after watching this video.
@@hugoparker1427 A previous owner put 1/8 steel sheet under the liner. It's holding, but I would like to find a bottom from a bashed-in bed and get it welded in, or cut out the rot and install a large & costly sheet of aluminum diamond-plate, or a good solid junkyard bed. (I have a camper shell on, so it will be even more trouble).
One of the most thorough videos for the DIY consumer I have ever watched. Hands-down. This comparison reviewing had it all.
Thanks!
These are good to spray on mower decks. If you mow while the grass is still damp most of it will fall off instead of clumping and it makes washing it off a breeze. I have used it on my zero turn for several years
Great tip!
oh dam, what a great idea! every time some one comes up with a great application like this i feel dumber for not thinking of it. Thanks Rus ridge now i have work to do, lining my mowers deck.
Are you spraying the outside or underside of the deck?
Graphite paint works too, brand name is slip plate
I spray my decks with WD40 prior to cutting and then I hose them off
I cant believe how much effort you put into these videos. You get a like from me good sir. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!
It's amazing the amount of time and energy you put into these videos. I've yet to see a single test where I wasn't impressed with the amount of thought and effort put into getting a quality result.
Thank you!
i'm just glad he uses more qualitative, scientific testing methods instead of just some guy throwing rocks at something

Awesome!
I am very, very impressed with your testing and the creativity in designing structured items to test your subject matter. Your reviews are quite thorough and methodical. Keep up the GREAT work!
Thank you very much!
I used Rustolium on a Honda Ruckus project (dual sport-ish scooter). Once you remove all of the plastic, you’re left with a raw aluminum frame, and the fuel tank is where your feet rest. I sanded and primed the entire frame and tank, then applied 7 very light coats, one coat a day. The can says it dries to be handled in 24 hours, but it didn’t fully cure for two weeks, something I’ve noticed with all rattle can paints and varnish. After that, it was solid. Your fingernail couldn’t scratch it no matter how hard you try, and rocks couldn’t chip it. With all of the thin coats, it made a very consistent 1000 grit matte finish. Occasionally I would get gas on the fuel tank. It would soften the paint, but cure back to its original hardness within a day. 2 years of use didn’t have a single chip or scratch before it was stolen. But if I were to do something similar again, it looks like plastikote might be worth a try using my painting method.
Great job! I'm sure it looks nice!
I'm not so sure it was a good idea to apply it in 7 light coats over the course of a week. But it sounds like it worked out
Most products have a repsray window, if you don't put a second coat on withing X time you are supposed to wait Y time and sand to recoat.
I've noticed the curing times being far longer than spec too. I sprayed some doors in 2k paint and it claimed cure time to be something like 30 days, but it took about 60 before it was actually hard enough to wet sand and polish properly.
@@billybobjoe198 this sounds like you used the wrong activator for the application. 2k should be ready to wet sand and polish after 24-48 hours.
You should test a bunch of different rust converters.. that would be a good video.
Great recommendation. I'll definitely do that soon.
I'd definitely like to see that myself!
Please do, I am needing to do some rust fixes on my Jeep.
Derek Straka +1
Derek Straka That's a really good idea and another worthwhile test.

Figured out finally..." we are also" haha.
Thanks for your efforts man, you deserve every subscriber and more.
Thank you so much 😀
You should do LineX vs Monstaliner vs Rhino Liner.
Great recommendation!
u-pol raptor liner as well. It's supposed to be one of the best diy bedliners out there.
I had a 500.00 Rhino liner in my '95 Ford for ten years and it held up great . I hauled scrap metal , pine logs and tons of brush . My friend got another brand and it turned to goo when he delivered an automatic transmission that spilled fluid about,. I think price may be a hindrance for this test though.
That contest is a mix of prograde and diy though. There are plenty of next level diys like Raptor and monster. I would be interested in seeing that competition.
vs Durabak (professional results from a DIY product)
What about Line-X? I know it doesn't come in a spray can, but it might be the best protection coat out there.
Great recommendation! I might test it if there's enough interest. Thank you
If you are going to test LineX you should compare it to RhinoLiner
I've used Line-X on multiple vehicles and it's well worth the money.
I agree. Ive used Line Ex on several trucks and always been happy with it. At the marina i worked at all the trucks had Rhino liner. Total crap.
Project Farm please compare the bedliner to anti rust paint like hammerite... You could possibly paint it on oil based antirust paint with a brush. why not? Bedliner is less used in Europe is my personal impression, on tractors people used anti rust paint and undercoat on tar/wax base no bedliner is used for the same purpose of protection. The antirust paints are usually thicker and can live with a lot of scratches and impacts of painted more than one layer
This is a really good comparison. Thank you. I will definitely go over this video again to determine which would be best for me . Your hard work and time testing is well appreciated. Thank you again
You're very welcome!
Heculiner painted on a Jeep frame and floor boards thick with a brush and roller has lasted me for 8 years so far. Apparently it works better as an undercoat than it does as a bed liner. Thank you for these videos. They are very helpful for us do it yourselfers
You are welcome!
The way some of these turn out makes me wonder what tests they actually do before shipping these out.
Thank you for the feedback
They do the wallet test; how little they can spend on product vs how much they can sell the product for vs how many people they can get to buy it before consumers realize there is something else available for a better value.

Great vid. I have a twenty year old Mac tool box, top is worn out from me throwing my tools on top of it and just plain old daily wear and tear. I was going to just repaint it. Did that 4 or 5 years back. I'll use the Plastikote instead. Thanks !
It seems like a terrific option! Great idea using it on the tool box!
I sprayed the bottom of my old fiberglass boat with the Rust-Oleum bedliner. It has held up surprisingly well for the last two years.
Your product test of rattle-can bedliners answered all of my questions and more, thank you!
You are welcome!
I live in Hawaii and you probably know , that we have many pickup trucks , so you answer all questions even more then I expected ! This information is very helpful ! Thank you !
You are welcome! Glad to hear!
Watched this whole video to find out they don’t make plastikote anymore 😢
Great video!
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Yup - Plasticoat it is!
My bed liner is still in good shape, but when the time comes, it’s gonna be Plasticoat.
Thank you, once again, for being the practical man’s scientist!
Thank you!
After watching this video Im going to choose platickote on my next project.thank you for the video it was very informative 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I was thinking of trying bedliner on my dirt bikes over the weekend. Good timing! Cheers!
Thank you!
Wow those test results were all over the place, hard to pick a favorite, I would have to vote for plastikote
Yes, some seem great for the cold and others for the hot weather. Plastikote seems to be the best all around.
This was awesome. I now have no more questions about which bed liner to pick.
Thanks!

Thank you!
Magic stuff mate. I was in the market for a bed-liner. This convinced me just to get rubber matting ;-) You're a star, put in so much hard work! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Like enamel, bedliners can still be off-gasing up to 30 days later (regardless of what the can directions say). I think the results could very well change if the test panels were left out for a month until full hardness had been reached.
Great point.
I agree, but in real life nobody is going to wait 30 days to use their truck beds after paint. This stuff should hold up after a day or two
If that's what you want, then use a 2K product. These are a lot harder, and reach their full hardness quicker.
audioh0lic - Scratching is all about the hardness level. I agree most people won't wait 30 days, however I'd bet most people aren't going to throw a bunch of bricks or scrap metal straight into their newly coated bed within the first week, either. It's going to be more typical stuff like boxes, ATVs, bags of mulch, kayaks, lumber, etc, that will be used in the first month. Odds are that it will be over a month before the first time you find that nail hidden under a big stack of lumber, try dumping gravel into the bed, or drop a tool box onto it.
Agreed!
Would love to see a comparison of the roll or brush on bed liners as I have had much better luck with those. Thanks as always for your incredibly informative and scientific videos
Thanks for the video idea.
Wow!!! Great work on this very thorough test. I was looking to spray my truck bed. Thanks!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

Like your Project Farm subjective rating table! Needs to be standard for head to head reviews like this, sometimes its hard to keep track of what product did well versus another after watching a whole 10 minute video. Keep them coming!
Thank you very much!
Great job. Appreciate a good honest review..
Thank you!
the fact the you dent your bed truck just to test the products its priceless man thanks!!!
You are welcome!
You are a god of the garage man, always great reports backed by real world testing
Thanks for watching.
Great video, as always. I think my takeaway from this one is: Either get it professionally sprayed (like my father in law did with his truck) or get a drop-in liner (like I did with mine). These rattle cans just don't seem up to it, and I suspect multiple coats would help, but still not be as reliable.
Thanks for the feedback.
The Rhino lining is quite thick and if my truck had not had a factory bed liner insert in it, I would have have definitely gone with it.
Knew a mechanic who used this stuff on all the rocker panels he saw. Roll on first, aerosol for the tight spaces.
Suffice to say his panels never rotted out. He even started to do lower quarters of cars, where surface rust usually eats through here in Canada. Looked decent enough, kind of a two-tone theme but for texture.
Great idea!
You are my go-to guy for product evaluation, thank you for all your hard work.
Thanks!
Great comprehensive testing! Pretty much every aspect was covered. Everyone I know that had their bed coated, mostly by professionals, would not do it again. One guy has boot prints in his bed after walking on it, in the PA heat, months after it was supposed to have been cured. And he paid a lot for one of the top names marketed and applied by a pro.
Thanks for sharing.
I would love to see a rust converter like por15 tested. Also a undercoating test would be great.
Great test idea!
Yes... Please do an undercoating and rust sealer comparison. This is a battle I have been fighting on my trucks in the northeast for decades.
Absoluitley great idea I would love to see por15 tested against similar products and also a handful of popular undercoating products such as Eastwood, rust oleum rubberized (regular) & rust oleum rubberized professional, krown, fluid film, 3M professional rubberized & 3M rubberized regular, tested against each other. That would be an awesome video I know many people would benefit from!!
Por15 vs powder coat

i love how much scientific testibg u put into these videos...great job
Thank you!
Scientific? Acetone is made to remove paints/coatings that ain’t scientific that’s just a setup
Your videos (and guitar tone videos) are the best comparison videos online, you do solid work man!! Really enjoying watching all these videos!!
Glad you like them!
Exactly what I need, an inexpensive method to spray that back of my 90 Ford F250. Don't need to spend hundreds of dollars, a few cans will work for me and a Saturday afternoon. Thanks for all your efforts in putting this together.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you so much for making this extremely informative video. Subcribed.
Thank you!
Can you do all of these in the roll on version ? And don't forget Linex if you do.
Yes, great recommendation!
How about mixing two or three to get the best properties of both? What would a combined Plasti-kote + Ez-Liner do? (spray-on)
I agree I would like to see the DIY roll On comparison
@@ProjectFarm I know for the hurcliner they say that the spray is supposed to be for tuchups and for getting places you can't reach with the stuff from the can
I agree I use lineX and love it my step-dad had rhino liner.
I'd thought about doing my own bed liner but after watching this video, no way. None of these will hold up in the long run for anything heavier than a soccer ball or a sack of groceries. I'll stick with Line-X, professionally done. I've had outstanding results with Line-X in several trucks done over the years, and if you buy enough of this spray on crap to do all surfaces of the bed, sides, and tailgate to a thickness equal to what a professional shop would charge for Line-X, the cost for each would be close enough to go with the pro job. Thanks PF for yet another informative video that's saved me money!
Very good test thank you. I'm not even going to use this as a bed coating, but for something else and the testing proved to me that Plastikote is the way to go!
Thank you!
I have used herculiner applied by roller. It doesn't seem to wear off, but the color has faded after exposed to a year of Colorado sunshine. The black becomes a dark grey. Overall I'm happy and glad I lined the bed.
Thank you!
Thanks for the positive info. I did things in chronological order as usual, I bought the roll on Herculiner kit then watched this video. I guess I'll go ahead and use it on my black truck. I think dark grey will be fine. I'll be putting a cap on it before it gets much Colorado sunshine anyway.
2003 had spray in liner done, don't remember brand. It too faded quickly and a lot of tiny air bubbles popped.
I know this is an old video, but the ultimate scratch test is a large ball of tangled barb wire, about 12lbs and drag it out. That is how you break in the bed of a new truck and get over the issue of scratching it.

I always use the rustoleum in the bed of my dump truck for places to stand so you won't slip and it holds up well when I dump things
Rustoleum hammered paint is the best stuff in a can for outdoor metal. Just read the reproductive harm warning
Your video and comparisons with all brands and different conditions are so awesome! TY! I’ll subscribe!
Thank you! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I very much liked your series of tests. I did not expect anything to hold up to acetone as was the case. I don't know what kind of liner spray was in my truck but it was amazing! It never scratched thru in either hot or cold weather, kept the finish, never chipped, and did experience some small spills of gasoline, diesel, and paint cleaning sprays. Obviously the chemicals were not allowed to stay on the surface but still it was impressive. However it was definitely not a "DIY" finish either. Hats off to a great demo.
Thanks!
In my experience, upol raptor spray has done the best for me and best looking finsh

I have been looking at putting a liner on my wife's truck running boards, since she wants them blacked out. This popped up while doing some research on what would work best. Thank you for the testing you do!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
