I NEVER use primer with spray on bedliner, and I've never had an issue.

Did you use the can they sell at Wal-Mart or something different? I am trying to find a better quality stuff. I need a second coat on my current box and am considering roll-on....

But I have found issue with the aresol based cans.

Looks good....This stuff comes out sticky as hell and takes a long time to dry right?

I bet it is bulletproof afterward.

We sell 2 or 3 spray bedliners and a few roll on.

I think Dupli-Color is one of the brands. I will double check tonight.

Who are we?

The Dupli-Color sold at Wal-Mart was the one I was referring to that flakes without primer.

Wal-Mart brand, never had any issues.

Yeah the paint takes a while to dry. Primer is the key to making the paint stick though, you need to use a shit load of it.

Rustoleum is the ONLY paint I use. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Have you compared roll on to spray on?

Which covered better?

Rustoleum makes some good stuff....way better than Krylon.

I prefer duplicolor. They make a excellent product.

I've heard the roll on is more durable and easier to work with....but this was not on wood. It would have been in the back of a bare sheet metal truck bed.

I was thinking about coverage. The price of the spray can is ~$9. Price of roll on gallon is about $30.

Krylon is junk for wood, duplicolor is junk for wood but excellent for vinyl and what not.

I use Rustoleum for everything. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I was about to say the same exact thing. The roll on is more expensive. I wonder how much that mdf is going to soak up? Coverage will not be very good.

I'll find out......

MDF doesn't soak up bedliner. Usually 1 can ($7) will cover a 1.0 cu ft box nice and thick.
