I want to bed line the exterior of my ZJ and I was wondering if any of you guys had your Cherokees done professionally and how much it cost. All the threads I found were on doing it yourself. I unfortunately don't have the garage space or live in an area with acceptable weather.

Alright, so I'm going to bed line it myself at the garage I rent out. It's ventilated and temperature controlled. Had to verify I could use it, and I can. I think I might roll it on, although I'll be researching what comes out best. I might want a smooth finish, so possibly spray. But I'll be buying the Monstaliner kit and go from there.

Let us know if you need any help. Rolling can actually come out smoother than spray just by technique used. See this doc

Even if you do it yourself, you should consider the thickness.
Here's a formula you can use:
Square feet x thickness (mils) / 1604 = gallons needed (at 100% solids, no solvents)
The solvents evaporate away, only the solids stay on your Jeep. So, if the product you're using contains solvents, you need to bump up the gallons needed to compensate.
For example, let's say you measure 200 square feet and you want 70 mils thickness. (For reference, the thickness of a dime is about 53 mils.)
So, 200 x 70 / 1604 = 8.73 gallons
But, the product is 30% solvents, so you should bump up the total by 30%, so 8.73 x 30% = 2.62 gallons. The total needed now is 8.73 + 2.62 = 11.35 gallons. But, don't forget about waste such as the amount of product stuck to the roller! So, 12 gallons would be appropriate.
Professional jobs should be about 70 to 100 mils.

Just saying my uncle just got his Chevy bed done and only cost him $500.00 I don't remember the material that was used but its thick and a rough touch (grip) Look into it for my TJ wrangler to have the whole inside done and its going to cost $700.00. Its a rust proof and water proof and its guaranteed.
