Herculiner on Flares almost done

Been wanted to do this for a very long time just never had time to do it, hopefully it stays on well. Thanks for the advice beforehand guys.
Before


After 1st Coat

 

I'm not one to slap that stuff on the vehicle itself - but that actually looks pretty good. How did you prep the flares?

 

I hope you prept it right and used the UV protector....

If so it will last a long time. and is easy to touch up

 

i went through and few of those green pads and scratched it to hell then wiped it down real good with acetone. Hopefully she sticks

 

then you did great...

this will last for ever

 

Nice! how much did it cost to do all of that?

 

$100. if the flares turn out good im gonna do the faded part of the bumper to

 

Wonder how much to do my bed

 

Very nice.

 

its comes in a gallon when i bought the kit. it will do your bed no problem bro

 

i did my bed, and it took the whole gallon

 

It might last a good 4-5 years and you might have to re-apply it.

I had that stuff on my bed (over the rails). I had a tonneau cover on the truck so there was about 2" of Herculiner that was exposed to the elements.
After about 4 years, I noticed it was 'thinning' in spots. The areas where there is no rubber (just black paint - so to speak) wore off. I had to re-paint it. No big deal...you just buy some more and paint right over it without any prep work.

 

4-5 years is a lot longer than 4-5 days with mothers back to black!

 

Why didn't you remove the flares before doing them? They come off easy, like 2 minutes for each wheel. Then it's done right, and you wouldn't get coating on the rubber seal. It's a 10mm socket, 6 bolts each, done.

 

your right but I know my luck better than you do lol. i woulda taken them off, broke half the snaps, herculine the flares to the newspaper and spend 2 hrs lining up that damn flimsy seal...

 

Seems u have the same luck i do my friend!!!

 

when i did my flares i just bought a quart for $30, and this covered them all with some extra. When i did my bed i spent $100 for the gallon, and still have a little left over

 

herculiner job looks good man!

 

thanks will
