Wal-mart has Dupli color truck bed liner for $35.oo gal. Has anyone used this? What type of results.

Glad somebody asked cause I bought some and just figured I would try it and if it turned out crappy I'd just fork out the dough to have it sprayed in. I don't know if Carquest is just an Oregon thing but they have the Herculiner kit that is normally about $80-90 bucks on sale with mail in rebate for something like $49 bucks.

That was fast. Guess others are bargin hunting also. I bought it but was going to do the search before using it. I went there to buy the herculiner, was told they had it, not at this store. As always at walmart when it is half the price I get skepticle. If you use it let me know. I would think that most of the roll on types are close. Thanks Mobiltoy

It wasn't Duplicolor, but I used another do-it-yourself bed liner (Wurth SKS) in the bed of my offroad trailer and was profoundly disappointed with the results. Even with careful prepping, it didn't end up as even as I wanted it, and started peeling after some time. It also didn't stand up to abuse, which was crucial to me. In the end, I was not only out the cost of the liner, I had to pay to get the rest of the crap sandblasted off the trailer. Right now I have it just painted with a sheet of rubber diamond plate on it, but I'm waiting to have the cash to have it lined. In restrospect, I wish I had done this from the get-go.

I think I like Rhino Lining best, it's less abrasive that Line-X. I also like Speedliner, there is a hard-core guy in Cedar City, UT that everyone calls "Bronco Dave" who owns a shop that sprays it, he had his entire Early Bronco, trailer and tow rig covered with the stuff and it looked really good.

I used the dupli color bed liner in my cruiser...I used the rattle can...i have been told that the roll in dupli color is better but never the less it started peeling and flaking pretty quickly. It held up in some spots but not even close to what i expected...I even used about 10 spray cans from wal-mart...I have seen a few friends use herculiner with excellent results...

I used both the roll on and the spray on. It is crap. chips very easily. Does not stand up to anything. Go either herculiner or bite the bullet and rhino line the dam thing...


Let me repeat, it is Crap....

I can take pics of my bed and show it to you if you wish...

:D

My local Automotive Paint and body supply Store sells an excellent spray on or roll on heavy duty bedliner, it is guaranted against cracking and peeling, the prep includes abrading surface then degreasing. I cost less than $80.00 /gallon, I'm going to use on the inside and outside when I replace my floorpan. Most automotive paint stores sell similar if not the same products!
