[QUOTE="MacDaddy21, post: 228373, member: 7106"] My mistake, that was a typo. I did put 3 full coats on. I got an awesome discount on it and I wanted it to be thicker. Some of my buddies had gone the 1 gallon route on their trucks before I did mine, and it just didn't hold up. Maybe it will be better on the diamond plate. The only experience I have using it on diamond plate was on a trailer I built for a customer a few years ago. It was a 20 ft gooseneck cattle trailer, and on the back "bumper step" I cut diamond plate to make the step all the way around the back of the trailer. Also, the cross members on the trailer frame had diamond plate on the flat side that was exposed inside the trailer. I rolled Herculiner on the bumper and on those 5 or 6 cross members, and then put the composite boards in. It looked great upon completion, but I haven't seen the trailer since so I couldn't say how it has held up over the years with all the cattle walking on it. The main thing about it that I don't like is the size of the rubber chunks inside. They are all pretty small, and when they are dry and hard, they don't feel good to me. If a picture would help I can post one up of the bed of my truck as it is now. I don't have a before and after unfortunately, but I can at least show how it has thinned out. [/QUOTE]
