I removed the factory plastic bed liner in my CC today so I can put in a roll-on type liner this weekend. My choices are the Duplicolor Bed-Armor liner and Herculiner.
Anyone have any experience with the Bed-Armor? I'm kinda drawn toward it because it's water-based. I've done two of my trucks and a JD Gator with Herculiner in the past and they have all held up great, but I'm not a big fan of the strong fumes while applying and how rough the finish is.

Re: DIY bed liners
The Monsta-liner (SP?) is getting some decent reviews.

Re: DIY bed liners
I just bought the Monsta liner kit, I had a chance to see some finished samples and it was very good looking and the finish was no where near as rough as others, that is why I chose it. I will be doing my truck in the sping, going to do the body line down and over my fenders and bumpers.
I believe I got the 1 gallon kit for around $120 on ebay.

Re: DIY bed liners
The main thing is to make sure you prep it correctly. It needs a rough surface in order to stay in place and not lift and come loose. I do spray in bedliners from Scorpion and the main thing they stress is preparation. It has to be rough and it has to be clean. Just an FYI..

Re: DIY bed liners
I put the hercu-liner in the bed of my 95 and on my rockers and wasn't impressed at all. Did a good job prepping and coating, but the protection just isn't there. Peels easy due to being so thin and if you have just heavy objects back there. I put my money where it was well deserved when I got my CC, into a rhino spray on liner. Best money I spent since I plan to keep this truck til it dies and it's only at 71k. Between all the time you have into cleaning and prep correctly on top of the $120 kit, it was worth spending the $375 to have it done professionally and with a warranty. That's just my $.02 though.
