Wheel liners or Heruliner

[mikemac4498]

I'm looking to do something with my '11 silver Silverado wheel wells. I've looked at some of the wheel liners that are available and have also been considering doing something like Herculiner. How well do the do-it-yourself stuff work on wheel wells? And advice?

I have used herculiner on the past two vehicles. the herculiner works great for wheel well applications, just prep the area as per the directions and it will stick. it is not a very good bedliner however. it just scrapes out too easily. I have never used wheel liners, but i would think that using both would be a great idea

I've also seen 3M rubberized undercoating used on wheel wells with no problems whatsoever

What is the coverage area on a can? I would hate to run out halfway, so just trying to figure out how many cans I would need for both wheel wells.

2 cans should provide a good coating for both wells. Grab 3 and return if you don't use the 3rd. Clean the wells out thoroughly. Use a Scotchbrite or a little sandpaper to scuff the surface somewhat. You can also use 3M adhesive remover, lacquer thinner, etc or something similar to wipe everything down before coating. Just mask off areas where you don't want the spray to get.

 

There is a member that has had it on for about 6 years. I'll see if I can find his thread. I've done and have never had a problem with it. Looks good

I sprayed the wells before putting the liners in, that way if anything got trapped behind them, I'm still protected.

Id go with gm wheelhouse liners

The liners are more durable than the spray in is since they are a much harder material. I was afraid that they might trap material between the liner and the metal of the bed, so I chose not to get the plastic liners. I took it to Line-X thinking I'd get them Line-X'd, but the folks there said they don't do line-x in the wheel wells. They used an undercoating product on the wheel wells that seems to be holding up well, but total it cost pretty much the same as if I'd gotten the plastic liners. I'm still tossing around the idea of getting the plastic liners since they have more coverage, and now I don't have to worry about rust forming if anything is trapped between the undercoating and plastic liner.
