- This is a side by side comparison of a couple different spray can truck bed liners. I used all three on my truck at one time or another. Its nice to have an idea what they look like before buying a bunch so I hope this helps someone.

I used the regular Rustoleum spray on the bed of my Tacoma twenty years ago and it held up very well. I used my truck like a truck, not a mall crawler. I just resprayed the spots that got gouged. I just gave that 2003 Tacoma to my son two weeks ago!
I also used it to paint the front and rear bumpers of my Chevy van and it holds up very well even after using the bumpers as steps. I haven't had to respray them yet.
I have a tip. Spray the can upside down to clear the tip between coats. It works!🏁👍
It actually does say that on the can.
does not work holding upside down on this product save spray tops and clean them with thinners and change with first signs of blockage.
You should have shared on how durable each one was, not just about how it looks.
Thanx for the share.
Wow! I didn't even know there was such a thing as truck bed liner spray! Thanks for this! You rock Brother!!👍😃
I was really hoping to see a scratch test on those to see how they held up. Otherwise thanks for taking the time to do this.
Hey . . thank you very much for taking the time to make that videos but not only answer my questions would save me from picking the wrong one. Much appreciated !
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. By the way, you're right about following the directions when using regular Rust-Oleum. It works much better when the can is held away from the surface and kept moving.
Michael Dunlap Your welcome!
Thanks for the info and thanks for taking the time to do the video it was very helpful
I had the same issue with duplicolor cans. They all clogged up. I two toned my duramax and sprayed the rockers with it and it clogged up. Very nice quality and made the truck look awesome while also protecting the sides from rocks. Since I work at an asphalt plant and drive through a quarry to get to it, the truck got a good beating every day. Very nice quality from duplicolor
Thank you very much for the great video. Best video I’ve seen in a long time that give realistic results with logical points of discussion. Your vid was invaluable since I’m ready to do my bumpers and cladding. Excellent!!!
Your welcome. Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your project. What type of vehicle is it? I'd like to see those bumpers when they're done.
How about a scratch test!
That's the catch 22 on Dupli Color, it's thick enough to give the finish you want so it's thick enough to clog the tip and require extra effort. There ya go... lol
To "HELP" keep from clogging. Put duplicolor color can in small bucket and fill with warm water. Let sit for 5-10 mins.
Tip 2-
Every 10-20 seconds turn can upside down and spray quickly to help from getting clogged and also to help get UNclogged.
Insightful video, Joe Root. I'm considering using bed line my TJ's faded plastic fenders. Thanks!
I used duplicolor bed liner spray on the sides of the samurai. I used the roll on type on the bed. The duplicolor was durable and has a nice non abrasive texture and washes dirt off easily. It holds up well, but does fade a bit after a year and half, so i recoat after about 1 1/2 to 2 years. Clean the spray tip after each use to keep the can longer.
I notice the fade on my truck guarded areas with the Dupli-color. Love that texture it has though.
Thank you for this video it really helps me out
The cheap rust-O works good. Used it recently. Sprayed well too. I heard if u hold the can upside down for a second and give it a quick spray as u finish, it supposed to "unclog" the nozzle. Of course u should wipe the nozzle with a clean rag as well.
I've used that upside down trick to keep paint cans from clogging between uses.
Good video, I think I will look into the pro stuff. I like that result. This video is a great help to me.
Thank you for the helpful video. I bought a used truck last week with a Rhino bed liner done by "pros"and it had wear spots. I will probably use the plain Rusto to touch up and overcoat the original bed liner and save a few bucks... thanks to your video.
Here I am thinking you're actually going to show which works the best. Jokes on me it was a beauty pageant
Hang tight. I've got a video in the works for that.
Yep... Your right.... It was a "Beauty Pageant"....
I looked for the "In The Works" vid but I guess he said fuck it...
There are other places to see what this vid was suppose to be.
@@wm973LMAO
@@joerootsr you did a good job buddy you showed me exactly what you said I mean what do folks think you're going to go to a junkyard and grab three different beds and cover them all and show the difference is I think not 👍
@@wm973 😂😂
I used the cheaper Rust-Oleum on the Smitty bilt steps on my ram. One can per side with a white high quality spray primer base over the original powder coat. I didn't count the coats, I just kept going until empty. It's been 8 months and 14k miles now and it's held up extremely well. Even the part that gets hammered the most, behind the front wheel. I laid it down extra there at the bottom on the bend. I think I might try to do my rims next. Only issue I have is it's a fine dust magnet. But then again so is my linex bed.
Glad to hear it's holding up. I'd like to see how it does on rims too. They look good in black as well.
I used the first one in video by Rustoleum and you were lucky to get through half the can without it clogging beyond repair. Luckily I had some other spray can paint that I could swap tips and get through most of one can. Better by more than you need in case you get stuck not getting to use it all in one can.
Thanks for the heads up on the plastic cote.
Thanks for doing this. I had the same experience with Rustoleum. I accidentally bought "Pro" can and realized that it was different after it went on. It's no doubt a flatter finish with less texture. Haven't used the DupliColor, but it looks nice.
Your welcome. It's crazy how close the cans of Rustoleum look.
@ mike Does more texture collect more bed truck water dirt, pollution, eventual grime?
Dupicolor was awesome I used in on my roof frame on my Ute. Bloody awesome. Never had issues with clogging. But with rustoleun the can was bounce the size of duplicolor and the can would use up very quickly. Highly recommend duplicolor.
Thanks for the test.
It shows the textures pretty good.
Any difference on the durability ??
I think for the money and the least amount of problems applying my bet is with the Restroleum Pro! There’s nothing worse then spraying and being interrupted with cleaning the tip every minute or two. It affects your application and eventual looks and coverage! I’m going with Restroleum Pro! Restroleum Spray products have never let me down!
Definitely enjoyed the video. I just recently used the regular Rust-Oleum truck bed liner for the interior of my Jeep. Specifically the floor pans. Ripped out all the carpet and went this route. I definitely like the way the Dupli-Color looks. Glad though I didn't get it after you told me about the clog up issues.
So do you like it better than the carpet? Seems like it would be better than carpet in a utility vehicle.
Joe Root yes, it's working out very well. As you may or may not know Jeep Wranglers are known for their soft tops leak. Many times I would come out in the morning after a rain and the carpet would be wet. Also when I go 4-wheeling a couple times I got stuck in some seriously deep water about 3 feet high with some water getting into the cabin. Now it's as simple as pulling the drain plugs and hosing It down.
Cool. Yeah that would definitely be better for cleanup and better than the carpet holding in moisture. It looks like you really get into the mud. I saw your Jeep run video. It sounds like someone wasn't very happy at the end of it!
Yeah that was my wife Joe, no sense of humor. I definitely got a laugh out of it.
Try keeping the spray tip clog free by spraying with the can upside-down for a few seconds at a piece of scrap material (I use cardboard) just long enough to clear the paint from the nozzle. Not too long or you’ll loose pressure in the can. I’ve found this tip on some cans of common spray paint and have found it to be generally useful. I can’t speak for the thicker liner paint but I have multiple cans of Dupli-Color paints on my shelf for wheels and the plasti-dip style, leftover from past projects that are still good today.
That is a good tip. In this case the cans were clogging after 20 seconds of spraying on the very first time. Sometimes turning them upside down and spraying would work. Other times they just had to be cleaned with mineral spirits. What you mentioned works very good for partially used cans of paint going back on the shelf.
Great video, I just bought a 60 dollar plastic wheelbarrow fm Walmart and wanted to coat it to give it more durability, so was wondering if the 3 which had the most thickness?
Thanks for the detailed video brother. Def saved me some bucks.
Thank you! 😎👍🏻
Awesome video. Thanks for the side by side.
The Dupilcolor in my little experience has provided the best finished coating if tou are going for looks, you can fix the nozzle issue by turnng the can upside down and spraying the excess paint from nozzle
Thanks for the comparison video. Dupli-color wins by a long shot!
I like the way dupli color looks on the interrior.
used all 3 for different projects around the farm. It's all about shaking the crap out of it before you start to use it and then constantly keep shaking while spraying. I've found Rust oleum is best in spray can & roll on. If Your Doing a big project and want it to last, use the roll on.
2024 Rust Oleum Truck Bed Coating is now $16.99 at Advance Auto and AutoZone. Found it for $12 at Menards. Amazing how much further $1 went 6 years ago. (2018)
I used the regular Rust-Oleum on my toolbox 8 years ago, still holding up nice except for a few spots where original paint flaked off.
Cool. I like the way it works out. Keeps the tools from slipping and you can still blow the dust out with an air hose.
Joe Root I just used it on the outside, I may do the inside too now that you mention it lol
Joe Long Oh you meant the truck bed tool box. I thought you were talking about tool drawers. No matter, that stuff has all kinds of uses.
I think the pro might look good on the frame
I never used the bed liners. But I buy a lot of dupalacolor primer and paint. since the major automotive store's started selling rustoleum I go to a body shop for paint and primer.. to me rustoleum is something for patio furniture, and it works well on wood and concrete. But I would never use it on cars. yes I know the video was about liners and rust prevention. Thanks for the video.
I use the first cheaper one on all my black plastic trim and bumpers on my 05 Xterra. looks great, super black and doesn't fade. It's more like $6.50 at my Walmart.
Glad it works. You right I think it was a bit more expensive than I said in the vid.
We apply this to the backs of bronze plates that stay outdoors. We found that after Duplicolor changed their cans about a year and a half ago, the application of this product changed dramatically. Seems they went to a cheaper nozzle system because although they said the product formula wasn't changed, the way it sprayed certainly did. I've written to them asking about this spray problem but nothing constructive was written back. They asked if i wanted the money back or replacements sent out to us. I just want them to fix what got changed nozzle wise. It is a great product, but applying it sucks!!
UPDATE: 12-2019
They obviously knew they screwed up because they changed their nozzles again, and the smell is noticeably different from before. I can say that it will still stop occasionally but not like before. Sprays very hard and heavy now like before.
I’ve used a ton Of the Duple color truck bedliner I’ve never had a problem with it. I’ve used it on my door handles and side view mirrors the hood and roof of my FJ cruiser
Capt. Gus RH may I see some pics of the side view mirrors?
Great video man!
Rustolium clogged up on me 7/10 cans
Duplicolor does indeed clog up 1-3 cans out of 10 1 for paint 3 times on duplicolor tbc ...
I prefer duplicolor products as they are all better formulated for automotive purpuses !
Doing tbc duplicolor with ruberized under coating profeshional spray now !
I’ve been using Duplicolor on projects at work for a long time. I’ve been having substantial troubles with the tips also but only lately, as if they have changed something in production. And as you stated, with brand new cans. I may switch to Rustoleum.
It would be nice if they get the problem worked out. I like the look of it better than the rest.
I wonder if stealing a rustoleum cap would fix the issue 🤔
great visual here.thanks.
Does this paint recommend grey primer on bare metal first?
Very helpful, but as someone else commented, a scratch test would be great. I'm going with the duplicolor, as I'm just blasting some subwoofer boxes and I want the extra texture.
Duplicolor 110% I had side steps done with rhino liner and personally did the front bumper with duplicolor (about 8 or so coats) bumper has help up to countless rocks on the freeway no chipping no rust. Side steps are rusting through the rhino liner
Do any of these come close to a second best when you compare it to Line-X?
Dupli is real good and worth it, last long.!!
I used the Dupli-color, and it was in a can and I rolled it on the floor of my 67 IH Scout and after 30 years- yup it's still holding on pretty good- FYI
Hey, boss, so which one lasted longer after like 2 years now?
Im trying to use bed liner on head liner because its to soft to use a cloth will it work, plus a piece of the headliner broke off its a small piece but in hoping it will all stick together when it hardens
Really good video 👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Try swapping the tips from the rust oleum can to the dupl-color can.
Everytime I buy the cheap rustoleum it won't come out unless you hold the can upside down. When held right side up it acts like most aerosol cans do when held upside down.
Could you swap the spray heads on Duplicolor with RustOleum and maybe get a better result? Thanks for the vid. The RustOleum Pro is the result I was looking for. I guess I'll go ith that one.
I like the Duplicolor as you sprayed them. Why didn't you test the Iron Armor spray from Harbor Freight?
Do you know if I can get that in a roll on can or do they all just come in spray cans??? And for what I understand Harbor Freight wish this is hard to believe has their brand is supposedly really really good
Good info to see. The Rustoleum Pro appears to have the smoothest surface, which is what I want. Is that true? I don't want a really rough liner. My Herculiner is too aggressive, takes skin off if you rub against it!
The Pro is the smoothest. I had to try to build more texture with it since I was trying to blend into an existing heavy texture.
Thinking of using something like this as a keel/hull protector on my kayak. In this case, the Rustoleum Pro would be the best, since it would have the least resistance. Would be cool if they offered it in colors.
Cool comparison. Did you notice how long each one took to completely cure? I think I used duplicolor and it took about a week before it was fully hardened.
Your probably right on close to a week. Especially with 3 or 4 coats. The cans say 24 it 48 hours but I sure wouldn't want to beat on them without waiting longer than that.
Nice commentary. The basic rustoleum looks similar to the dupli crap. And it's way way affortable.
Thanks. Yeah it's half the cost.
duplicolor has a different type of liner but similar style. this other one doesn't clog up and has a stronger finish from my person experiences. the other one is more of a plastic and this stuff acts more like a plasti-dip
Thanks dude
Old dominion makes the best Bed-Liner coating.
Well the way they look is one thing but how do they perform and hold up to use? Personally I don't care what it looks like in the back of my truck if it holds up better than the other ones and doesn't look as good
With these thick sprays it’s not a manufacture issue that they clog. if you keep the cans warm and let them sit in warm water before using and not in use they spray so much better. Also, turn each can upside down to shoot a quick spray to clear the nozzle before turning it upright to shoot the spray project
The original Dupli Color TR250(blue can) is hands down the best. The newer can nozzle does suck.
You might be onto something there. I had some of the blue cans on my rocker panel project and didn't seem to have the clogging issues.
Joe Root in CO advanced auto parts is still stocking the blue cans for now. The newer nozzle is easier to squeez is my only guess for the updating. Eventually I will have to try the new and use a pin to open the nozzle more as this is how I did all my rock rails and bumpers again. SUPER easy to do good looking touch ups after rubbing rocks!
Bondo makes a good undercoating sprayed my Golf carts under undercarriage with it
I like the texture of the Dupli-color as well. Too bad the products that give you texture also clog up easier. I went with basic Rustoleum ( looks like basic black spray paint almost no texture) and put a final coat of Rustoleum Pro on top and it's a little better. I tried the Harbor Freight version of spray bed liner--like the texture, but it clogged up almost from the get go.
I have a f250 and and going to use bed liner on the bottom of the truck in the same style the two tone paint jobs are done. I used Rust-Oleum before and it looked like black sandpaper. The dupi color seems to look much nicer and have more of an orange peel texture. Would you say it has the nicest texture in person?
Yep. Dupli color looks the best to me. I used it on my 2002 f350 when I replaced the cab corners. Same deal. The bottom 12 inches of the truck is Bedliner. It does fade with time. Most of mine was done in 2013 and it's just starting to fade. Not hard to throw another layer on there though.
I used rust oleum spray can this past weekend and it got clogged up 3 times :(
When I used rustoleum all the cans would clog up and some you had to hold upside down
Does it stick to wood? Do I have to prime it? What if it’s already waterproofed wood?
I have always wondered why anyone would want to use bed liner (way too expensive), personally I just buy cheap spray paint and touch it up once in a while , to each his own ;-)
I like the cheaper rustoleum truck bed coating for my project (not the pro)
the cheaper of the two def has a richer black color, the pro can has a more dull, flat black color
I would not use a base primer next time...I have had better results w/o it
I can't remember without reading the cans but some did say no primer required. I guess they were designed to be put right on top of sanded existing paint.
Joe Root on my project, I primed part of it and left the other part bare metal...
I came across your video looking for an easy way to remove truck bed coating lol
every square inch that had primer under truck bed coating was starting to flake off 6 months after application
the area without primer is still going strong
makes sense....I also thought I read something about wanting the truck bed coating to bind to bare metal and not bind to primer
live and learn, I guess
Any one know or think if this will work on my SxS trailing arms to help prevent rock chips ?
could you have switch the spray nozzle from rustolum to duplicolor?
Might be worth a try. I wonder if it would change the texture of the finished product.
You should try it with blue painters tape
No doubt that would work better. That material was also an unprepped piece of an old furnace. It was also rather cold in the garage. I would definitely not want it leaking through if it was a hard line up against paint on a vehicle.
Shake can , works as a work out ... also I left mine out for about 20 min warmth from sun will get it to not clog ... this is after u used it as nozzle clogs or with paper clip pole nozzle and thats all ... dont be lazy , if u cant do simple stuff u must cook a lot in microwave !!
I was disappointed not testing which one actually protected the bed liner the best.
How abut doing the inside of your Jon Boat with it and then take it out on the lake for all day fishing when its about 100 degrees out side and let us know if you feel like a slab of bacon at the end of the day. I am going to be redoing a Jon Boat over the winter and wondering if it is good to use for that.
I never thought about a boat floor. Maybe you could fry your fish on it! I've heard of people using porch paint with sand in it for traction for that. No experience here though.
DO NOT BUY KRYLON! I painted my whole truck with Krylon and its bubbling every where from the heat!
I'll definitely remember that. Hate to spend that much time n money to have it do that.
theoriginalmungaman Same. I bedline my toolbox with Krylon and a huge part of it chipped off the first time I opened it.
Wasted money....use Rustoleum Peel Coat. It is smother than plasti dip and peels off easier but holds up to a pressure washer.
If you would had sanded and soap/washed it would have helped . Prep is important
I’m sure the the dupli can sprayer gets jammed because you stopped spraying for a couple of minutes and dried out, once you start spraying you can’t stop for best results, only reason I can think of
Herculiner from autozone beats all 3 try it and plz do new update video! I've used all of them as well you will like herculiner the best but takes the longest to dry I noticed
How long is the dry time?
outstanding but how is the durability?... who cares how it looks
There is a future video idea.
Joe Root. I hope you put that outside day in and day out rain and snow and then make a video after 6 months.👍
We've had no issues of it coming off the backs of our bronze plates either from heat or cold. They aren't exposed to direct sunlight like it would on a truck bed , but it does not soften up from heating, or chip away.
Duplicolor wont fade like rust o.
BoogazRetroGamingYT
Did the dupli color have a higher gloss??
I'am really impress with the paint on Rust-Oleum Truck Bed Coating NOT THE SPRAY only requires 2 coats with 2 hours of drying time between coats > This stuff HAS TEXTURE FOR SURE> and to there NO Part A and Part B Mixed it up and MAKE SURE THE SURFACE IS CLEAN AND DRY! Then apply, then dry, apply again Its also washes off with gasoline on the brush SO no need to throw it away can clean it up and use it again
I used the regular Rustoleum ,and the pick up tubes inside the can kept coming off. Then they only spray up-side down. Very disappointing.
Buy the two part spray liner it is the best way to go
I keep hearing that. Probably will try it on the next big project. It doesn't seem to be worth the trouble on small projects.. But for the actual intended use I'm sure it is better.
Looks like some were sprayed more than others. You were kinda light with the dupli-color
That's very possible. It was just an informal side by side comparison of how they look.
with how many cans do I paint a box .dakota
*I'm looking to paint a polymer pump rifle forend grip.*
*I want it to come out smooth but grippy, and not really shiny.*
*The Rustoleum Pro looks best to me.*
*What does it feel like?..sand....rubber....plastic?*
*Thanks*
How is it holding up?
Hammer test? Chipping?
Haven't tried that. Might be a future video there. A durability test of sorts.
I agree
I would be interested in the same. Even if you just tap it with the handle of a screwdriver for demonstration purposes and progressively move up to hitting it with a hammer... like a torture test so to speak
whats the coverage? Ive got a utility mate trailer with a 54 by 84 inch , 4by7, and I'm wondering how many cans to buy? Any guesses? The bed is marine plywood.
Hard to say. I bet it would take 3 cans for one good coat. Then more if you want multiple coats.
Any of them solvent resistant when fully hardened?
Don't know. Doubt it.
Duplicolor is the best. I bought both myself. Rust-Oleum bottle went really fast and dried crappy. The duplicolor was so much better. Thicker and tougher look and feel.
