So far, I have only used the Rustoleum. To echo some of the previous comments, it's really smooth for a "bedliner". I think Duplicolor will be used for any future projects.

What i also noticed is, the primer really never hardens, even after like 12 hours that scrapes off REALLY easy. Like if i touch it with my nail it comes off.
Hopefully primerless proves to work better. Saves money too if i dont need another 2 cans of primer lol.
update - it is not sticking at all.
Pisseddd off.
I wanna try duplicolor but i do not wanna throw another $15 in the garbage. if it doesnt work

Some contributing factors could be metal too cold, you are loading up the primer and not letting proper flash time between coats. Meaning the primer is still trying to cure from the first coat out to last causing longer dry time. When it is humid out alot of people do not realize that can cause the primer and paint to have longer dry times as well. What did you prep metal with? I would either wipe down the primer (after sanding if needed) with wax and grease remover, and or follow up with a tack rag.

I have used both and tbh I think it depends on the batch you get. The duplicolor seemed to be more consistent in finish. The Rustoleum, I had a couple of cans where it came out very thin with little to no texture and several others with perfect texture. I also played around with temperature and distance to surface when spraying and all of them seemed to be factors. Over all both are good products but I really do not think there is anything that can compare to a professional job like Line X. I know that is a bit of a...general statement that you get what you pay for but it seems to really fit here.
I still have a couple cans of each and use them and have no problem continuing to use them for bumpers and such. The next thing I will probably spray is the interior top, the white is driving my nuts. Wife says no so I will probably do it sooner than later.
