well yes i know that i was actually going to use a 3-4 inch cup brush on my makita buffer to ruff up the car and take any rust off then clean the whole car with thinner before hand to ensure proper adhesion. i was looking more for what brands of bed liner seem the most durable what finishes are available for bedliner.

I just bought a 4x4 Tracker 2 months ago.

It has the sides done in bedliner.

Well there are rust spots making the bedliner flake off all over the place.

I think you will need to get rid of any rust before you coat it.

its cheaper to paint a car with decent paint then it is to "paint" it with a decent bedliner

which is more durable paint or bedliner? becuase thats what im looking for not whats cheaper.also if i was going to paint it i would do it correctly and not half *** it with single stage paint. primer->base->clear thats how dad did it thats how gramps did it and honestly shortcuts like single stage have horrible durability. also, yeah a white car at night looks great with half a can of wax on it pretty much no matter what. so back to my question anyone have any suggestions or experience with regards to brands. i personally have only messed around with linex and was unhappy with the look and feel.
