I did Herculiner on the rocker panels of my van.
Pros:
Fairly cheap, $60 total for 2 quarts and rollers
Very durable
Looks good
Cons:
PITA to work with!
Prep is very important
Messy

I've been rebuilding my SMB trailer. I used Raptor Liner inside and out. Still need repairs in the lid before I spray it. Wasn't difficult to apply. Inside pic was when running new electrical.

I've heard so much back and forth with this that it almost seems like it'll come down to personal preference. That being said I will eventually do my rig with Monstaliner in some fun color. It'll cost about $500 and as with most it's all about the preparation.

Having viewed the Monstaliner website I think that would be my choice too. Absolutely no experience with using this material but it seems Monstaliner allows a choice of texture from smooth-ish all the way to gnarly.
Another aspect I like is they mostly encourage brush or roller application---for me that would be the way to go, doing this in my drive way and all.
Of course I could just be gullible enough to fall for their hype?

Hi....Does anyone have any experience removing any of this liner material, when it's time for a change? Seems like this would be extremely difficult to sand/grind off when the time comes. Thanks for all...

...roughly 500 lbs additional weight.
I have been quoted $6.50-$7.00 per square foot.
Any info you could share would be appreciated.
Thanks

Rhino Liner is super thick plastic, a buddy of mine bought the equipment to become a dealer 7-8yrs ago, then got out. It's a whole thing, mixing, spray rig, part A and part B in 55 gallon drums, I think it even requires heat during mixing, and the stuff goes bad in the drums if it gets too hot or cold if I remember right.
He did his entire F350 and dual axle open trailer with it, boat trailers, inside of rock crawlers. He was bidding on doing boat docks on a commercial level. I think he would have Rhino lined me if I stood still long enough.
Those weight and cost numbers wouldn't surprise me, as it's 1/8", even 1/4" thick in places, dense plastic and super tough. His black Rhino linered truck always looked dirty, though. The cost keeps most people away. Complete overkill for the exterior, IMO
Rhino and the roll on Herculiner and shutz gun of HVLP Raptor liner applied stuff that other people are talking about here, are two different animals. They make more sense for an entire rig.

You put all your chips in with this stuff. It isn't coming off. If you do an entire vehicle and want it removed your best bet is to sell the vehicle and buy another one like it.

I had Agile do my PH top and a strip along the bottom of the entire van for rocks kicking up. On the body it has held up great on the PH top the fiberglass has chipped here and there. I haven't repaired due to only needing about a 20x20 inch amount of product, I believe RhinoLiner??, and needing to color/tint it to match my 2002 Ford Gold color. Anyone going that route - gold - lemme know...I'll buy a pint and then buy you a pint!

Thanks for taking the time to shoot this video... I've had a few cans waiting for me to finish glass repairs on a top. This is really useful!
How long did You wait to peel the tape? Nice, straight, clean line from the appearance in the video.

3M makes a paint protection film in numerous sizes including thickness, width and length. It's a great alternative to the Rhino liner products for the lower portion of a vehicle body. I once had a link to 3M's product page but its an easy Google search if interested.

Someone makes a masking tape with thin wire embedded to give those crisp lines with these sorts of products. Another "trick" is removing masking tape as the material begins to cure, before its fully set up. For my money the wire-embedded tape would be best even when removing while still "wet".
Sorry I can't be more specific and provide links---I had them at some point, can't find 'em now.
