Just let it sit there without touching it for 24 hours.
UV protectant is already in the product (at least for ProtektaKote)
Just paint on ProtektaKote (UV protectant already mixed in the liner by factory), let cure, all done....

Nope. At about 18 Celsius (but high humidity) time between coats was about 90 minutes. You actually have to put on the coats BEFORE the liner cures completely in order to get the best strength. This stuff cures faster if it's warm and humid and anyhow the time between two coatings should never exceed 3 hours for best results. You just wait until it's not tacky anymore (anywhere between 60 and 180 minutes) and put on another coating.

What else to Line?
So I bought my Herculiner kit today, its my daily driver so I have to wait until the weekend, but I'm stoked. Also, I was thinking about doing the fenders and bumpers as well (I rubbed against a parking post by my school so I have a few yellow scratches on my finder) And then I thought.... bumpers, fenders....rockers? doors? hood?
I don't want to go hercu-crazy but its inexpensive, I love the look of it, and it would eliminate the cactus and limb scratches all over my jeep (thanks to Holy Jim)
What are your guys' opinions?

If the airbag light on the dash is on it means you did something wrong.
If you disconnected your battery before doing anything else it MAY be that you:
1) Reconnected the battery BEFORE mounting and plugging the seat/s
2) Got some dirt in the connector/s
3)Did not correctly plug back in the sensor/s and your Jeep realized it when you reconnected the battery
Anyhow: At this point you have to go to dealer and have them clear the error codes for you. I don't know any procedure to reset them at home...
I don't know what you mean with the light on bottom of center console, sorry...

I did it without problems of any kind.

Don't know what they charge you. Should be very few bucks as it's not a difficult or long task. Just a matter of hooking the PC up to the Jeep and reset the codes...
You better check the connections for both driver and passenger seat before going to dealer...
As a matter of fact I don't have a pssenger sensor on my Rubi...
