    Quart I usually buy it that way. After mixing it lasts half a vehicle. But if u got a cheap gun it destroys the gun. It's like spraying bed liner but have some sort of carbon fiber flakes or something like it in it. The down side when it chips it chips bad. Not small ones either.

    I would highly recommend the U-Pol RAPTOR Tintable Liner. They make a product specific gun that is relatively inexpensive, compared to automotive paint guns, that attaches to the bottles and is very DIY. You can adjust your gun pressure and spray distance to achieve how smooth or rough you want the final texture to be. Plus you can tint it any color that you want with automotive paint.

    It's not mean. It looks bad up close. It looks bad from 20 feet. It looks bad from 60 yards. That's not saying it wouldn't serve a purpose or that I wouldn't do it on a trail beater, but I wouldn't expect a lot of oohs and aaahs when I did. And while it would still appeal to a couple people when it was time to sell, I'd know that I had effectively turned away from a majority of the market. (And in before "I'm never going to sell it" comes up :laugh: ) I've met a bazillion people that say that, met 1 or 2 that actually did it.


    Mean would be if I snuck up and sprayed it in someone car :laugh:

    It doesn’t make sense to paint a Line -X (Rhinoliner is a trash product IMO) truck. You can bedline a truck in virtually any color you want. Line-X comes in an array if colors.
    Plus paint will peel right off bedliner.

    Bedliner is the best product to use for durability.
    I do recommend Line-X. I’ve used on my Fords and beat the crap out of it and I have a cousin that buys, mods,and sells trucks for a living. He has done custom body work with it on several applications and it has turned out well.
