Anyway, "it says" you must do 2 coats and that the juan gallon in the kit is enough to do so. Though the average truck bed
ins't 9 feet long, the gallon is supposed to also cover the bed sides and I am not doing the gates! I "ran over it" twice yesterday and will do another coat today, but there's less than a quart left in the can. May have to go buy another half a gallon since I do want a thicker cover on it!
The brush is needed for the tight areas, corners and such, then the special roller is used for the most part. Found some little spots where it didn't get good enough, so I "sliced" an extra roller to run over the "grooves". I'll post a picture of it later. You "dab" with the brush instead of "swiping" as you'd do if you were painting. Otherwise it would defeat the purpose of the texture. It's messy and sticky. That's why you see the "skirt" around the truck as well as a sheet of plastic on the work table.
After weighing various options, decided to go with the Herculiner for a few reasons. The first choice, though I considered it to be the best, was just way too expensive at some $2000. Hell, I didn't pay that much for the whole truck!!! Other choices didn't have a "palpable" example to compare with and/or those that I got to see/touch up close looked to be really
thin and more cosmetic rather than utilitarian. Plus I have had very good results with the Herculiner, on the trailer (twice), the Radio Flyer wagon, the cargo area on the Jeep (RIP), and in the
Plump Truck's treasure chest area. Not to mention the cost of around $90 for the gallon kit. The first time I used it the Peep-Boys had it on special at $60. The "half-gallon" or so, that can be bought by itself is only $30.
