Awesome! I did a Herculiner bed liner on my Dakota. Sandpaper, then a roller to put it on. After 17 years, it was still in amazing shape. I did have a cap on it, which kept a lot of the weather off of it, but I abused the heck out of it. Yours should last a long time.

There is one thing that reveals that it is not a professional job. It looks better than a professional job. Very neat work. You did yourself proud.

Nicely done. Outstanding seeing someone who understands that the real secret is in the prep-work!

Well, that leaves me out, guess I'll have to pay someone to do it.
Kit comes with the gun, if not, they are like $10.00. Pretty cheap.

When I was doing a bunch for friends years back, I stopped cleaning the gun, started tossing them out cause they came with a kit.

did you use the acid etch primer since you sanded down the bed?

Does it come with a compressor to run it? I only have one of those "just above a hand pump" compressors.

No, I think the shipping would increase too much and people would not buy the kit because of that. LOL.. Might be able to rent one however. ;)

How long did it take to dry? Awesome job by the way!

Thank you. Pretty proud if it. Fun to show off, people are amazed I did it.. Can't believe it. Have to show them the pictures. Haha

It dried to the touch in about an hour, but that depends on the air temperature. It was 68 that day, so it dried to the touch fast.

They say no use or get it wet for 72 hours. I washed the truck yesterday and it was fine, haven't used the bed as of yet.
