Recommend a spray on bed liner...

My Rock Rails are starting to rust. Can anyone recommend a spray on bed liner (preferably a dark grey or black color) that I can use myself? :?:

Thanks in advance!!

I've used Herculiner with good results.

ETA: Sorry, I've only used it as roll-on application. But, that should work for rock rails.

Go to auto zone and buy some cans of the spray on undercoating. I used this to cover up the pounded down pinch weld cover and some other things. it is cheap and works awesome!

I had Line-X do mine, but Hurculiner looks like it would be good for DIY. the spray can stuff is good for some stuff,(pinche weld, hitch, Etc. but a bit thin for rockrails IMO

I did the Herculiner stuff on my fenders and doors...

Cheap and easy touch up ... I use it on my rocklizard rear bumper and fender flares. They'll probably scratch off the flare ... oh well.

But think about it, Even all that expensive bedliner stuff will not hold up to thrashing on the rocks. Thats why I suggested going the cheap route, easy inexpensive touch up, like dirtykj said.

My $1.05

X3----It doesn't matter what type you have it's going to get scrapped off on the rocks.

Yea i didnt read the post well, i agree, nothing will keep rock rails looking new other than touching up often....

I dont know if I would do bedliner on there. First, its gonna get damaged quickly and probably start to flake off when it does. Second, its more expensive than paint. And finally, I dont know if I would want the extra grip on rockrails.

I hear you guys, but if your not scraping them all the time the Line-X looks real nice, did the brush guard too. No chips, no peeling and no rust and it has been about 3 years now

If you are planing on hitting rocks or using them alot do not bedliner them. I did that to my broncos rock rails as a experiment and it just peeled right off on my first trip out on the rocks.

I plan to use a roll-on bedliner on the top of my step-skinks but only on the part that I'll be using for steps. The rest is just gonna get a gloss black that I can touch up easily and cheaply.
