herculiner works pretty well. Take your time. The rustoleum kit SUCKS.
Main thing is prep. I know you've repainted your bed, so make sure you either a) get down to old paint or b) it's on there good.
When I did my s10, it actually pulled the new paint off the bed after a year or 2 if anything big was in banging around in bed. You could peel it off in large strips.
The rustoleum seems to fade away after 6 months to a year. Goes on a lot smoother which was the reason I used it (on my rollbars/undercarriage/etc)
I will be getting herculiner for my bumpers in the next week or 2 (hopefully) PREP IS KEY. It is A LOT rougher then say line-x or rhino.

Prep for rhino lining is 800 grit, roll on you should go down to at least a 180. And then make sure it's clean clean clean and it will last a long time.

I had herculiner on my 74 chevy. And by on it I mean the whole thing. Worked great.
That was a long time ago. Dad and I got it when I was in 6th grade. Rebuilt the motor and trans. I ended up with it for graduation.

I think its somewhat glossy. Mine was painted over so I have no idea.

no. it gets almost ashy flat. line-x is only one i've seen with 'a shine'. my rhino did for first couple years.

i found this kit that comes with the spray gun, it looks to be better than herculiner. what do yall think? RAPTOR BEDLINER
