Has anyone used Hippo liner? I would like to know if it was worth it. How did it stand up? Did it fade or chip? I would like to paint the out side of my XJ with it.

^--thats very helpful :twak:

for liners it basically comes down to how much you want to spend, how well you prep, and how many coats you are willing to do. ive heard hippo is cheap and easy to do yourself and is smoother than the 'more durable' ones like herc and line-x. people i know who have used line-x or herc have usually only had to do one coat while thinner ones like hippo have done well with multiple coats, but has flaked and chipped after a few months with lesser coats

Lol I get trolled every once and a while when I leave my account up.

Never used Hippo liner, but I try to generally stay away from things that are moisture cure. I prefer Raptor Liner. 2 part epoxy, very strong, and even comes as a complete kit.

Upol FTW, seen it in person and looks very nice. I have the roof of my jeep Herculined b/c it was bubbling and rusting and its terrible, sucks in the moisture and does nothing for rust prevention.

I did the Raptor Liner 2.5 months ago, sprayed really nice/easy at 40 psi. The prep took 5X the spray time but in the end it was worth it, I think anyway. Tell me what you think?

It sorayed really nice and creeped up under the doors well. This is only one coat.

Up next, in the spring, bumpers and maybe the roof. Oh yea did both sides w/1/4 the supplied material.
