MONSTALINER- bedliner

UltimateCC · 11-20-2009, 07:52 PM

Well I was looking for a liner to put down in our project K5 blazer at the shop and was debating between herculiner, U-POL and rhinoliner or lineX. There is no budget with this build but I have used the roll on herculiner in the past and was really impressed with it for the money. Then came along Monstaliner and after some discussion/research I was sold and figured we would give it a try. Check out monstaliner.com for more details about the product. The big selling point for me was the finish. I really hated how hard it was to clean the herculiner being how gritty it is. The monstaliner had a much smoother finish more like some of the spray on liners. The kit comes with everything you need and has some very detailed instructions that I highly suggest you reading if its your first time using the product. It will save you a lot of headaches and time while installing the Monstaliner. After having this stuff in our blazer for over a week now I have to say I am pretty impressed with not only the finish but the durability. I will update this thread in the future with how it last long term but I have no doubts it will be holding up great.

I will be adding a step by step of a monstaliner product in my LJ shortly...I am just waiting for them to have a tintable version available.

It's ok. Looks better than herc but looks like it would be really slick when it's wet.

It looks like it would be but it really isn't. If you see that last picture of how the stuff lays down up close it is actually pretty coarse.

Looks good. The pics are awesome. We should all aspire to only upload quality pics like yours. Given the liner any abuse yet?

Well when we put back the interior we were far from gentle with the seats to see how it would hold up and not a scuff, scratch or mark...we haven't put anything real hard or heavy on it yet but I assume it would hold up just fine but I will update everyone after we put it through a few more tests.
