Bedliner Duplicolor or Herculiner?

[tallon2064]

Which does everyone think is better? Plan on doing the interior after all holes and leaks repaired and was wondering which is better. Have also seen Grizzly Grip, any suggestions, prices seem to be pretty much the same. :???:

I used Herculiner everyone I talked to was very happy with it.I have heard of cracking and fading problems with the Duplicolor product.Herculiner is about $20.00 more for the kit but I have always said you get what you pay for.

I just cleaned and scuffed the existing paint that was in good shape then I rolled on the Herculiner.I would definatly reccomend putting it over a well protected and not rusty surface.With any paint product its only as good as what you are putting it on.

i used the duplicolor spray on on my fender flares, flaked off after 6 months.

 

i would recommend a good roll on over spray on can.

Hurculiner is a more durable product. Duplicolor is much easier to work with but not near as durable for high traffic areas.

 

If you prep correctly neither will just "flake off".

Exactly. Thats the most important part the prep, not the type of paint.

yes and no , i preped my interior to a T and i still had problems with the duplicolor . that stuf is crap and is not worth the money , i also used the hurcliner on my bed and have been more pleased with it though its about time for a recoat as it has shrunk a bit along with fading but much better than duplicolor .

While I do agree that the Hurculiner is a better product. The Duplicolor is a pretty good product as well. Your statement, "not worth the money". Well the stuff is by no means expensive @ 6-8 bucks a can. Heck a quart of Hurculiner goes for about $40 and a gallon for over $100!!! Not to mantion the commercial stuff, that will run you likley many times over what you orig paid for the whole truck!!! Lets keep things in context here.

 

I have use it for YEARS on shotgun, rifle and pistol stocks and the stuff wears like iron in that application. I cannot even tell you how many patrol cars are running arround connecticut with my application of duplicolor truck and bed liner applied to there shotguns stocks.

Just before our jeep show lsast summer, I did my MJ's bed with Duplicolor. I did it for astectics. Simply to get a betterlooking bed and didn't expect it to hold up. But to its credit, so far it has. Now I havn't loaded anything really abrasive in there either. I have had a load of mulch, a couple loads of limbs and lawn debris. Many many boxe's of this and that loaded and slid arround in there. No wear marks and only a couple scratches that I would have expected any home applied coating to have scratched.

 

The first MAJOR step is PREP, second is once its done, LEAVE IT ALONE for a week or so. This sruff HAS to fully cure, I don't care if the can says its ready to use in 24hours. {Spoken is a In a very deep resonding voice.} don't YOU BELIEVE IT!!! :rotf: :D don't touch the surface for a week, then use as normal and you will get a more durable and longer life of the product.

 

SO, its def NOT crap...
