I have used this product to replicate the heavy and rediculously thick rocker guard that is common on alot of european cars like porsche, mercedes, ect. It is a water based product if I remember correctly. Easy cleanup. Quick drying. Great for sound deadening and filling areas where you would normally just use a standard undercoat. Applied with a special applicator gun like this:

As clean cut said......mainly used to simulate factory finishes......and spendy too!

how well would that work for a bedliner use? that stuff seems pretty cheap from what ive seen.. 15-20bucks a quart, only thing that is pricing to me is the gun

but i figure i could use that on several projects anyways. looks like it would work great for bedliners but not sure..

Dominion Sure Seal makes one that looks just like the 3M, but only costs 15.00 - 20.00!!!

I used Rocker Schutz inside a truck bed. It looked good, but I had adhesion issues after a year or so. I don't know if it was the product's fault or my improper prep though.

The Body Shutz undercoating is great though.

I use it in the fender wells and then paint them satin black. It makes for cleaning the fender wells easy.

From MY experience this stuff, while very sound dampening and rockchip resistant, does tear pretty easily when scraped or gouged hard as in a bedliner application. If you don't plan on using the bed as heavily as a "normal" truck bed gets used it would probably be ok in a bed. For surface prep I would use at least an 80 grit paper to rough up what you plan to spray it on if use is in a cosmetic area.
