OK questions:
Total cost: Labor $700 (with a come back anytime and we will fix it guarantee)
Bedliner $200
No, did not do this myself but could have. The product I used was called Raptor bedliner by U-POL. The liner comes in 750mL cans that screw onto the gun. The only mixing involved was how much hardener to mix in with the liner. That was determined by the temp. outside. The hardener gives the liner a pot life so you dont have to spray everything within an hour.
I feel like I could have done it myself, but did not have an air compressor that could do the 50-60 psi necessary for spraying the liner.
The liner itself is UV protected, chem resistant, and has good reviews to back up the companies claims. I actually called the manufacturer and asked them a million questions about it and was very satisfied with what they had to say. Along with those calls I also talked to shops that have sold and used the product and what they thought, again nothing but good things.
As confortable as I am about it being on there this is still uncharted territory, so long term we shall see!
For anyone wanting or thinking about it, one box should be enough (1 gallon of liner). I bought an extra bottle only used three of the five bottles I bought, but I am having the rest of it sprayed in about two weeks. I thought 2-3 coats would be enought but after talking with Fulltimer I think 4 is the magic number (should have asked first).
Thanks Terry! You should have heard my wife. "I dont want to look at it........cause it looks good, and that means your right!"
My warmest thanks to the kid or adult that saw fit to key my jeep. Oh and the insurance man!
