Looking for opinions on what has worked/looks the best. I have read a few good reviews for herculiner but not sure about it yet. I want to coat the tube steps I am in the process of building,and maybee even the bed if the product looks and is strong enough. Thanks in advance, Wsellars.

I was wondering the same thing. Herc is readily available for sure, but my main concern is thickness/durability.

Ive had the herculiner in my garage for about a year now, but rather than being able to do that i had to put new heads on. Now instead of doing a liner i need to do a slave cylinder on my clutch... well if i ever get around to it, i will take lots of pics and let you guys know how it turns out...

Ive used herculiner on a pickup and trailer and it works good. Big thing was dont get it to thick. Stays kinda rubbery and if you do go through it its more of a scratch that can be repaired. No linex though. I also used a duplicolor oner on another trailer and that was bad. Got real hard wouldnt scratch but came off in sheets.

Thanks for the replies, going to try the herculiner on the steps first and see how it turns out. Should have them done in a week or so. Will post some pics when its done.

Finally got them done today. Fabbed up everything myself and the Herculiner worked out great. No complaints about the liner easy to apply and touch ups are very easy to do. Probably going to try it out on the bed for the next project. Better pics to come.

Slightly off subject but I went with Line-X on all the suspension, steps, light bar and even the wheels....

The Herculiner seemed to show wear when you stepped on it a lot.
