Duratex coverage

Would 1 gallon of Duratex cover 2 DR280s and 2 Titan 48s? Sprayed on with a hopper gun ala the Harbor Freight one?

I used a gallon on my 2xT48's and most of a second on 4x wedgehorns and 4xOT12's. I didn't do heavy texturing though I rolled 3 moderate coats on everything. I'm planning on going back with a loop texture roller and recoating everything in the near future which will use at least what's left and probably start into my third gallon for all that surface area.

Would be pretty close. Don't get too thick and it probably will.

So it sounds like one gallon would be enough for 2 DR250's with some texturing, right?

More than plenty.

I do two texture coats...and more anywhere that seems to need it, or where I figure it'll get manhandled. I've done three cabs (O10, T39, DR250) with two gallons and have about a quart left. Everyone else seems to get better mileage...but those folks who use grills save a lot by not doing the innards.

Do you do texture on the innards or just a flat coat?

I texture on the innards too...at least all the parts you can see. I use a 2" roller everywhere it's practical, and dab with an open-cell sponge everywhere else. It seems to work OK, but it takes a while, and often multiple dabbings to make it look good. This is usually the point where I begin to envy the guys with sprayers

The chain store truck bed liner is available in gallon cans and quart cans, and has the benifit of being available in rattle cans, too. I used the rattle cans for the inside corners, and then rolled as close as I could to them. There is also a kit available that has a gallon can, 1 can of spray, and a roller and plastic pan. The nice thing is you dont have to order it, so you can get it quickly if you run out.

Roughly what does it cost?

The individual spray cans are around 8 bucks, and the gallon is around 50. I cant remember what I paid for the kit. Maybe duratex is the better way to go, but I am gonna do all my cabs with this stuff. I like it

I tried it and don't care for it. No comparison with DuraTex.

If thats the stuff at WallyWorld, I used it, and it does ok... but it does have a wicked odor while its drying.

Has anybody compared Duratex with Line-X bedliner?

If you put it on thick enough high-build formula DuraTex is comparable to Line-X, and still will cost half as much. I won't take a hammer to my new DR250, but I bet I could.
