Monstaliner or Raptor?

I am planning on coating my entire truck....narrowed it down to these two.. I have seen some that look good and others like crap but anything is better than my failing clear coat. Any suggestions on which way to lean?

 

This is my truck immediately after and 3 years after monstalining it. I was quite unhappy with the quality control from monstaliner as there was a huge difference between my first and second layer of paint. This happened during the pandemic and so their customer service was abismal at that time too. There are two chips in it, which I imagine would happen with any bedliner option. But otherwise I am generally happy with how it held up. Lmk if you have specific questions I can help with.

Immediately after:


Three years later:

 

Did you roll it on? That's where I am torn...just figured monster was cheaper than raptor...but just can't decide

 

I would spray

 

how much lift and what wheel and tire size does that grey truck have if you dont mind

 

I rolled it on. Would have been much easier to spray it on but raptor didn't have the color I wanted haha. I'm vain like that.

 

285/17/16
OMEs CS019Rs on the back
881s and 5100s set to 0 on the front

 

Well thats another problem....I don't have anywhere to spray....have a small pole barn but...leaves are falling for the next months to come. I do have a small garage but hate to get that stuff everywhere. I am a little worried about roller marks but...not sure if I can spray without tiger stripes either

 

Get some plastic, or visquine (if that's how you spell it) or something similar and make a temporary room with PVC pipe. Or if it's cheaper or the same labor get a car cover from harbor freight

 

My buddy just grabbed some paint drop sheets at Home Depot. Like 30 bucks and he had enough to cover everything in his garage before spraying.

 

This would also work ^

 

You're not going to have roller marks if you roll it on. The textured rollers supplied by monstaliner really prevent that from happening at all. But if you do roll it on, you absolutely need to get some extra rollers along with the kit because the roller break down with use.

 

Never used monsta but I've been happy with raptor. It's not great on plastic though (front bumper - it will inevitably peel), even when properly prepped. I would definitely spray, so work a large compressor into your budget. And you can tint it any color, just look at Amazon for some dye options

 

You could try something like this too to keep the leaves off
