I've only used the raptor liner spray can and it's held up great in the wheel well of my dually truck. The only issue I saw with your review was that you were holding the can way too close while spraying, should be at LEAST 24 - 36 inches away. You were 8-12 inches away.
These liner sprays, in order to perform best, need to be applied to an extremely cleaned and properly prepared surface. Oils from our hands and other contaminants, as i understand it, can dramatically affect the long term product performance. I do appreciate this comparison and thank you for sharing this review.
Hard decision between the Herculiner and the Raptor. Herculiner is too shiny for me but does look a little thicker than the Raptor. I would go with Raptor liner. I really liked the way it had coverage when you started spraying. Raptor is my final answer.
Awesome review... I just need a product to overlap where my Line-X stops on my firewall and spray up higher. Going to go with the Raptor, it would've been Herculiner but I'm not looking for glossy sheen. Thanks again for the great film work and commentary. .... Job is done now. Distance definitely helps with the texture. Also, spraying up close leaves it thicker, flatter, and with more shine.
Thanks for putting this out there saved me a Buck is the Raptor the less Glossy out of these I’m kinda seeking Egg Shell or Matt for my FJ .Also you can control the texture by further away and or mist coats. On the Duplicolor that discolor is called blushing /Usually from Humid Cond? Or temp.🤜🏻🍻
Hey man. Thanks for the comparisons. How well did th raptor hold up? I used the rustolum roll on from Walmart for my side steps on my F150 but didn't hold up to these Alaska winters. I'm also wanting to spray my doors I just had made for my Side x Side and I am needing something that holds up
I'm thinking of using something like this to cover up the wiring and battery components on my frankenboard electric skateboard I'm making from spare parts. Maybe masking tape with this over it? I don't care if it looks bad, just wondering what the most durable and sticky product I should use? Thanks
Only the 2k versions ( bedliner and hardener) are bedliner quality. The one component spray is just to cover corners and hard to reach areas with the gun included in 2k kits. I have used raptor for yrs as under coat.The 2k version. I have recently tried T-Rex the spray pattern wasn't as refined as Raptor, it hard a larger droplets. And a bit shinier. I like raptor, better, even if it's getting more expensive than T-Rex. Again I use them as undercoat on cars. It's like that red gas tank you buy when you run out of gas. They both dry like a hard tuff coating. Of these sprays I have use the duplicolor but not as a bedliner. As I only use Bedliner as " undercoat" Good video though. Keep it up !
What fade lol, my truck had that same liner for 3 years, still looks new after it's been attacked by cemet and wood. Barely used the same can just for touch ups. 4 cans is what you need. And I still have 1 1/2 can left
I was wanting to spray my composite infill metal gate frames with this stuff. But looking at the spray pattern and distance it's sprayed from, I think it would be incredibly wasteful.
Yes, I think I rushed into it and wanted to see them side by side but I saw others use it on bare metal as well. They cover well and stick on plastic, metal and wood really good
Did you degrease or clean the sheet metal beforehand? That would likely make a pretty big difference in the application, adhesion, and finished look of the product.
I couldn't make up my mind on which one to use and this video really helped. I'm not doing a big project or anything just the inside and outside of a sub box.
The second can (Duplicolor) you did not even shake the can hardly at all! Man you have to shake those cans and make sure you get the liner mixed well before you spray or roll on the surface. Also you wipe your hand on the metal then start to spray on the liner, Dude you really need to read the directions on how to properly prep and mix and spray at a proper distance for the best results. I dont mean to be a ball buster but this demo shows me just what not to do.
You along with a lot of other people get the wrong spray can of herculiner, there are two different cans one is textured and one is the other one that you have
interestingly the 1K Raptor can be applied DTM over small bare steel areas like sand throughs, but they do recommend for "optimum" results the Acid 8 or a DTM primer - specifically on aluminum and galvanized panels.
dont buy any of these cheap sprays . Spend the money for a real liner like line x. These sprays suck, they have been tested to be crap. I told you so...
Great video!!!! Thanks for making comparison vid it help me out! Keep them coming
Thanks!! means alot
Thank you so much for showing them all off for us!!
You are so welcome!

Did you use the 1K?
The last one with the yellow bottle looks like it’s the better quality with the spray and coverage
Thanks I think that's the one I am going to use
I used the Herculiner roll on and was quite pleased with the outcome .....you just have to remove tape before it dries fully.
Thank you for the video. Helped me from having to test them myself.
Glad I could help
Yeah I agree the yellow one seems the best.

Your right, prepping is one of the most important steps. Thank you for watching.

Definitely hard to pick but Raptor does hold up better
Very helpful! Thank you sir!
You are welcome!
Thank you, you have answered some questions for me

Glad I could help, Yes the Raptor is less glossy I think the Herculiner was the most glossy of the three

Alaska winters I could only imagen
It really depends on your prep work. Did you sand the paint enough. There are cases where upol epoxy primer is needed or ahesion promoter.

Raptorliner was the thicker and more durable of the three
Did u press the button on the bottom of the raptor can. It has a hardener that ur supposed to add to can by pressing button on bottom
Looking to put a durable coating in a lawn trailer, but no one says how durable they are. Is the raptor liner more fit with the hardener line line- ?
Only the 2k versions ( bedliner and hardener) are bedliner quality. The one component spray is just to cover corners and hard to reach areas with the gun included in 2k kits.
I have used raptor for yrs as under coat.The 2k version.

Of these sprays I have use the duplicolor but not as a bedliner. As I only use Bedliner as " undercoat"
Good video though. Keep it up !
What’s should I clean my bumper with before I spray Herculaneum on it, I’m going to give it a quick buff down first
Give it a good wash with soap and water and get some Prep Spray you can find it at your local auto part store
This comparison is extremely helpful. Thank you for doing this.
My pleasure!
Awesome 👏 man! Just what I needed ! Thanks
No problem 👍
He lives in sa probably. I hear those jets all the time. And the birds. Coincidence idk. Lol. Love the vid
Close by
Thanks I’m gonna go with the herculiner
That's a great product
It will fade badly
What fade lol, my truck had that same liner for 3 years, still looks new after it's been attacked by cemet and wood. Barely used the same can just for touch ups. 4 cans is what you need. And I still have 1 1/2 can left
Wonder how the Raptor or Herculiner would look on a Tacoma Pro grill. Thanks for the vid.
That would be cool!
Did you shake them good enough
Which of the products get hardest to the touchget hard to the touch, and how hard would you say it is. Thanks
Raptor Liner was the best in my opinion
Hey man looks like it's been a year or more since your video/project. How's the Raptor holding up?
I'll make an updated video on this for sure. 👍
I was wanting to spray my composite infill metal gate frames with this stuff. But looking at the spray pattern and distance it's sprayed from, I think it would be incredibly wasteful.
Great job bro, I've been curious about all three, I think the Raptor looks great
How many cans will you need to do a six and a half foot pickup bed?
Check out the link on the video description amazon sells a pack of 4 cans that will help you cover a truck bed
Do you think you could use this stuff on your Nerf bars steps
Yes, I used it on my roof rack and spare tire carrier
Any follow-up or long-term review on result in progress with the bedliners thank you
Used it on a small utility trailer jst recently sold it. Paint held up good I had it for four years and I always stored it outside
Thank you for the test. What did you use it for? I'm looking to spray my sliders with Raptor. what do you think?
I'm building a camping trailer and used the Raptor liner. I will be posting a video of that build soon
@@OVRLND_E hello, did you end up using the raptor cans on the trailer?
Very informative...thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Dont you hve to prime bare metal before spraying liner though??
Yes, I think I rushed into it and wanted to see them side by side but I saw others use it on bare metal as well. They cover well and stick on plastic, metal and wood really good
Did you degrease or clean the sheet metal beforehand? That would likely make a pretty big difference in the application, adhesion, and finished look of the product.
Yes the metal sheet was prepped before hand.
So which was the thicker one? After it dried
Raptorliner was the thicker and more durable of the three
Great video bro!
Appreciate it!
I couldn't make up my mind on which one to use and this video really helped. I'm not doing a big project or anything just the inside and outside of a sub box.
hi, how much time did it take to full dry?
Not much within a few minutes (10-15) I was able to touch the surface. It would depending on how thick you lay it down.
The second can (Duplicolor) you did not even shake the can hardly at all! Man you have to shake those cans and make sure you get the liner mixed well before you spray or roll on the surface. Also you wipe your hand on the metal then start to spray on the liner, Dude you really need to read the directions on how to properly prep and mix and spray at a proper distance for the best results. I dont mean to be a ball buster but this demo shows me just what not to do.
Good review.. the ummms got me brotha
Where did you buy the raptor spray?
LOL watching over myself I was like OMG lol
I made my decision because of your vid though.. thank u
Solid review 👍
Thanks! 👍
You along with a lot of other people get the wrong spray can of herculiner, there are two different cans one is textured and one is the other one that you have
Good to know. I’ll keep and eye out for it for future projects
Where did you get the Raptor from?
I got it from Autozone for $15 you can also find it on Amazon
How many cans do I need for a 5'7 bed?
Where did you buy the Raptor spray?
I bought the Raptor at Autozone you can also find it on Amazon
Shake well
I don't care how it goes on, which one holds up the best?
Raptor does feel like it coats thicker so I would say Raptor
Good review bro. Nice 👍🏼
Glad you liked it
PLEASE shake can for 60 to 90 seconds
Sure hope you shook those cans more than the 3 times on camera when you did your project.
I did off camera, I ended up using the Raptor Liner on my project and bought the case they sell on amazon
@@OVRLND_E How’d it work for you long term? I just applied it to a small project of mine.
Nice video.
Thanks!!
The duplicolour has to be sprayed from a further distance.
Yes I agree, I think all three would have been better from a better distance
Nice review, kid. Good lookin’ out.
Thanks!!! Good to hear
I like the shirt man. Praise Yeshua HaMaschiac
Shake the can man!... Atleast a good shaking for a minute... But good review 👍
Thanks anytime, I shook them off camera
ive laughed at a guy online call it dupli crap.hmm.
Um which one is better guys? Um I like them all um
I liked the herculiner best
Does the herculiner shine or color fade away ?
Raptor all day long.
Raptor for sure
Always pull your tape ASAP
Lessoned learned lol
Cobra novol flexy
I'm going to have to check that out 👍
You should’ve sanded it at least.
Appreciate the review but 2 words... PROJECT FARM. Would've saved you some $ and time.
The youtube channel? just checked it out lots of great stuff on there. Thanks
A DTM primer should be applied after you use 80 -120 grit sand..DTM "Direct To Metal" Primer
interestingly the 1K Raptor can be applied DTM over small bare steel areas like sand throughs, but they do recommend for "optimum" results the Acid 8 or a DTM primer - specifically on aluminum and galvanized panels.
Duplicolor is definitely garbage
dont buy any of these cheap sprays . Spend the money for a real liner like line x. These sprays suck, they have been tested to be crap. I told you so...
I'll look in to that one, Thanks @lazaRO
