I've been researching these types of videos since I'm going to do "something" to improve the state of my truck bed. Thank you, I watched the entire thing and you increased my appreciation as to the amount of work involved to do it right. A couple of points for those who may watch this. Great prep but you walked all over the bed after repeatedly walking on the ground. Perhaps remove your sneakers before reentering the truck bed. Also, on other videos a Nylon Bristle Brush on a cordless drill was used to scuff up the surface which seems to be very effective and less labor intensive. Overall I think you did a great job and it looks great. If you think of it, maybe you can report back in a year or so (after you "use it") to see if the product held up.
I saw at Harbor Freight the other day a "scotchbrite" ball on a steel shaft for scuffing with a drill. I'll probably give that thing a shot when I do my Silverado this spring.
Lot easier and less messy if your work front to back. Not sure why you thought a 2nd coat would not be needed. It say right in the instructions that you have to apply a 2nd coat.
It's OK. There are a few spots where I'll need to touch up, especially in where the bed was worn before. I think I should post a followup now that some time has passed.
The thickness is hard to gauge. The paint itself was somewhat thin. However, there are rubberized particles suspended in the paint giving it a more thick feel. The particles also help keep everything from sliding around. Given all what I wrote, I would say it's as thick as a good quality polyethylene tarp.
@@steustachius my use would be for my motorhome that hasn't any inner fenders. i am looking for something to protect the sheet metal that is the wheel well actually. it is thin and i will damaged pretty easily.
@@mrzif0013 I tow a 32' TT and can relate to what you are asking. From what I know, I don't think that Herculiner would work. The Herculiner is not as thick as other (professionally installed) spray-on bed liners that I have seen. Herculiner is pretty tough, but it will not distribute any impacts. I'm sure it'll offer some protection, but I don't think its thick enough for what you need.
Good prep work, luck of painting tho.. you weren’t painting the same spot..jumping from place to place, not painting in proper way.. should’ve gone sideways first then straight, get the side done first then the front then the bottom just because otherwise you’ll be going on top of it again and not making it look the way it should..also the paint is thinner cause I didn’t see you steering it.. i did the same job and mine was pretty heavy paint with a good amount on all the coat, even on the first coat I couldn’t see anything..
Thank you for taking the time to show us your project. I will be attempting it today
NICE job.! Looks great..love your choice of background music.
Great music!
Nicely done! I’m doing mine tomorrow!
@Charles Paquette....how about a video on how the paint on bed liner has fared over the years since applying it
Nice music, great video. Thanks.
This video was awesome now I’m ready to do mine
Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to do mine
Charles, we're gonna need a 1 year update please.

Thinking the masking tape might have been better applied after the acetone wash step.
Excelente vídeo, gracias
Great prep work. Looks great!
Thanks. Painting is 90% prep.
Great job
Do I over rail or underrail - that is the question!

Update ??
Hows it holding up?

i thought you did a very good job on the video....how thick is the final product?

Someone disliked this 😑
Doesn't hurt my feelings.

I was trying to follow the directions getting the corners and hard to reach places first. Then I moved on to the roller.
