Default Bed liner spray

For those that have tried the bed liner spray to cover tour paks, derby covers, horn covers, etc, which brand did you have the best success with? I am looking at the ones I can get at Autozone or Walmart, which look to be: Herculiner, Duplicolor Bed Armor, Rustoleum Bed Liner, and maybe others.

I want a more rubbery feel than sandpaper, and a flat black color vs shiney.

No answer for the OP, but I've had Line-X liners sprayed into beds of my last couple of pickups. When I had my current pickup sprayed, the tech showed me his Line-X bike: a Sportster with all the tin, pretty much all paintable surfaces covered with bed liner. Can't find the pic now, but it was a badass-looking black bike!

I have Rhino liner in my truck. It is very rubbery feeling. So much so, when it is sunny and hot outside, it gets soft. I have seen it sprayed on tins and other parts also. It looks good for a little while. Eventually it will get a flat look to it and be almost gray in color. Dark gray but not really black anymore.

Well beside looking like SH_t, when you come to your sences and decide to paint the part you will have a bitch of a time getting that crap off. I don't even know if you could get that junk off of something like a tour pac. It's just a fad that you will regret later, like the Pro-Street car fad and pastel paint jobs.

If it looks like this one, I will be plenty happy. It is not a 25k show bike, it's just one I crank out miles on. If it looks like this and holds up, that's all I need.

That looks pretty good I will say. If it will stay that dark then it will look good.

I have a convertible truck I did my whole bed/interior and lower rockers in herculiner I had some left over and covered my ampeg 8x10" speaker cabinet and the stairs.
unbelievable how tough this stuff is and even though it looks like sandpaper it is all ground virgin rubber it has performed way past my expectations on all surfaces the one that impressed me the most was my bass cabinet. it goes through a lot of abuse and being made out of wood makes it extra vulnerable. wow is all I can say it even looked awesome. 100 bucks a gallon have to use it all at once make sure you prep your surfaces 100% clean.

I recently met a guy that painted his entire Hummer H2 (exterior) with bed-liner spray. Surprisingly, it turned out pretty good.

LineX is one of the best out there when it comes to consistency of coverage. It has a good look and the texture is not blotchy or chunky. They also offer a protectant in a spray bottle that provides a low luster sheen to keep the apperance looking good for a longer period of time. The local dealer here does a bunch of "special" applications along with color options ....but dirtyharryfxrt is right is is a majot pain in the a$$ to remove this if you decide to. http://www.linex.com/
