thanks paramaniac / snowmax3! $130 for herculiner vs $320 for mopar rubber = $190 for fun @ the great canadian ballet! plus the reward of standing back covered in herculiner and saying "yep, i did that and she'll hold" is always a great feeling! thanks for the tips and replies.

I did mine a few weeks ago and it is wonderful! A few things to remember is to definitely wear gloves! Don't worry too much about the plastic, it peels off pretty easy. I am near Sacramento if anyone wants to see it!

Has anyone coated their Rubi-rails or anything that has been powder coated in Herculiner? I'm wondering if the prep process is the same or if i would have to take the powder coat completly off before the Hurculiner will bond to it.

Just ordered Herculiner in Red from autosupermart.com for $135. Has the UV protectant mixed in.
Also consolidated all of Voodoo's comments into a single document with pix and notes from others in this forum as a reference guide.
Going to do this in stages since it is a daily driver.
will post pix as I go.
Thanks for the idea.

line x will always turn out better, hands down it beats all other liners. You have to see it to believe it. Its like a molded plastic liner and will outlast all others. The finish is much nicer as well.

Anyone else have that silacone looking stuff under the carpet in the footwells. It looks like something troweled on like tile cement. I saw another thread somewhere about it and it's supposedly some kind of sound deadening stuff. Some people did remove it but it was a PITA. Can the herculiner be put on top of this or does it have to be removed?

Make sure that you use GOOD gloves...the ones that came with my kit were garbage and now I like like a con that's been fingerprinted....lol.

PITA to go down deep in the cracks-spacings. You'll have to dab it on with a brush.
