So I know a lot of you have used roll on bedliner inside (and outside) of your vesicles, and could use some advice.
I have a novel use for it, you know, on a truck bed... Anyhow, I'm debating between the two locally available options. Rustoleum, and Rustoleum.
There's actually two different types. An epoxy based version, and a conventional(?) roll on.
I'm leaning towards the conventional roll on since it doesn't require premixing, and I don't have to use it all at once. However if there's a big difference in fade resistance between the two, ID like to go with the more fade resistant.
Not rustoleum. I used duplicolor bed armor with the Kevlar on the bed of mine. Put on way too thin and not enough prep. Has held up shockingly well. Better than I expected with the amount of abuse it has seen. Got it at o'reilly.
The rustoleum held up well on the floors and rockers of my rodeo trail rig. It was roll on and i went too thick in a few spots but it was durable. Im not sure whats in my father in laws old truck i have now but in 17 years it still looks new.
I did the rockers and doors under the body side moldings on my old mkiii jetta when I had it. It held up well and as a bonus matched the "euro textured" bumpers.
I did a bunch a research, if you're doing it yourself and want professional-ish result, I'd get U-Pol or Al's Liner. I did the inside of my Jeep's tub with Al's I'm very pleased with it. I used their texture gun to spray it in, but there are roll-on instructions as well.
A gallon of Al's was ~$80 from Amazon, and should do a standard truck bed. You do have to mix all the parts, but there are instruction for the ratios needed for each part, so you don't have to mix it all at once.
I've never used U-Pol/Raptor, but I've seen excellent results from it, and heard from other satisfied customers from their product. I assume it can be rolled on as well.
I used an aliphatic version I got at Grizzly Grip (grizzlygrip.com) on my pop up camper. It didn't stop the plastic roof underneath from cracking, but it is durable as hell. They're in FL but ship nationwide and are in the same ballpark (I think) as the Amazon sourced stuff. They were great people to deal with too.

I did U-Pol's Raptor Liner on the floors of my XJ. Very satisfied with the product, not a chip, scratch, ding, or dent to be found in the finish after a year of hauling firewood, scrap, skids, ect . Says it can be rolled on, but I sprayed it using the gun they offer as part of a kit. Texture came out just the way I had hoped. My only complaint is the smell of the stuff off gassing, which can still be detected on a super hot day. Not as much of an issue in a truck bed, though.
In general, from what I recall reading, I think the 2 part stuff is going to be a lot more durable.
Downstep and Captdownshift, did you guys use the 2 part or the ready mixed stuff?
