Dupli-color spray bed liner, anyone use it?
Like the sign says. By box ( if it has a floor & 4 sides it's a box-- It's a Canadian thing ) so, my box looks pretty ratty and it's drivin me nuts. I was thinkin of just painting it but saw the Dupli-Color stuff and wonderd if it was any good? how many cans to do the inside of a long box? ( there's that word again ) how it looks and how permenant it is. If I just paint it later I could do a decent job.

I used it. Took 3-4 cans for a short stepside. The trick is to spray it from 2+ feet away. Mask well, shooting from that distance creates quite a wide pattern and make a lot of overspray. It shoots very heavy and if you try to shoot closer it will sag/run.

i've never used it myself, but one of my buddies has tried it another tried the herculiner. the dupli-color looked like crap and peeled all over. the herculiner actually came out pretty good. that might all be in the application of the two. i hear if you don't get it scuffed up really good that it won't last at all.
there was a guy on the board that tried the eastwood stuff awhile back and it looked killer. oh, do ya have a cap on that box eh? :hm: |
IMO when it comes to spray bedliners, nothing beats the pros if you actually use your truck bed.
I have a Rhino liner in my GMC :D |
:hm: I USED THE DUPLI-COLOR BED LINER TO DO MY BLAZER TUB. I SPRAYED EVERYTHING FROM THE TOP OF THE TAILGATE TO WAY UP UNDER THE DASH. I BOUGHT A GALLON, & SPRAYED IT THRU MY UNDERCOATING GUN. IT CAME OUT O-K, BUT I'LL TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT NEXT TIME. JOHN

I've sprayed it into beds before. As far as the sticking, it all depends on the prep. There are others on the market that are better. But for a cheap liner, it's OK. I had a little left, and sprayed the floor of my truck.
As far as it sticking to wood, I've never done that, but again, depending on the prep work, there shouldn't be a problem with it sticking. |
I've sprayed a few with herculiner. I've had trouble with it peelling later. I think its a moisture/temp problem. The stuff I've sprayed in the evening liked to peel in the low spots. I didnt feel any dew on the surface but I think that is what was happening. Even so 2 gallons in a short bed makes a very thin coat. I dont think I'd use the stuff again.

This is a pic of Bondo brand Tough Gaurd I recently did on my 71'. I taped a laser straight line around the perimeter of the bed and it turned out awesome for a roll-on job. Nice even texture and I've gotten a ton of compliments on it and it's really heavy duty too. :metal:

i used the herculiner once,but apparently i didn't prep well,it started to peel up,but my uncle sprays in rhino liners and i learned that you need to get a lot of good scuffs or scratches in the paint to get it to stick
|
IMO the Duplicolor truck bed liner sucks. I sprayed some as instructed and it looks like cheap flat black house paint.. hardly any texture. I am looking into some traction paint used on car haulers. Its cheap and looks tough.
