<VV> Bed liners

I sprayed the bed of my rampside with duplicoat bedliner in a spray can 
after a few coats of epoxy primer (bed was sandblasted).  I used the rattle 
can because it gave a very smooth finish and not much texture at all.  I 
tried the same product in gallon cans but it has a different formula and 
goes on with a rougher texture.  I even called Duplicolor about this and 
they said the gallon cans had a different formula and would not give the 
same effect as the rattle can.   So I just bought many spray cans and went 
at it.  I like the effect -almost like a paint but with a hint of texture. 
It looks close to stock - not like bedliner, & it was so easy to put on.

I don't know about durability as my rampside is mainly a show vehicle (98 
points at Buffalo convention).  It seems quite durable to me.  I like the 
fact that that this bedliner can probably be removed easily in the future, 
and what I like the best is if it does get scuffed I just touch it up with 
the spray can, and it looks great again.  It would work well in a van or 
Greenbrier.  It is easy to try and cheap and you can easily do some test 
panels for durability.
