Herculiner Anyone?
 

Has anyone out there used herculiner on a Jeep? How hard was it? Does it
look as good as the professional jobs?


Thanks in advance,

Frank

Yep.

The hardest part is taking everything out of the interior of the Jeep.

> Does it look as good as the professional jobs?

Nope, but it doesn't look bad, either. I personally prefer to use a
brush since it doesn't leave the coarse surface that the roller does.
Also plan on using more than you thought. I have a bit over a gallon of
the stuff in mine.

I also did my pickup truck bed with it, and I am not nearly as happy
with it there as I am with it in the Jeep. I've managed to gouge it in
a few places in the truckbed loading and unloading, although I was using
a forklift when some of the damage occurred. The pallet got a little
sideways and scraped against the fenderwell. No damage to the metal but
it took off the liner down to the primer. The floor of the Jeep doesn't
get that sort of abuse so it is holding up better.

I used it to coat the inside of my CJ5. It took just a little bit
less than a gallon and I'm really happy with how it came out. Here's
a few pictures:

(scroll to near the bottom to see the Herculiner stuff)
It wasn't hard at all for me since the only things I had to take out
were the two front seats. It took about 4 hours total including the
time waiting between the first and second coats. I bought a gallon
and an extra quart of the stuff, not knowing exactly how much I'd
need. I plan on doing some touch up work to it soon to hit a couple
of spots I didn't get as good of coverage on as I'd have liked to
originally. If I buy another Jeep, I'll use Herculiner again.
