Bedliner over old Undercoating

[JCR1500]

Hi Everyone. Need your opinion. My truck did not come bedlined. I had recently repainted the brackets for my running boards with Rustoleum Undercoating and they look great. I had a new can and applied it to my tailgate last weekend and it looks great and all but I think I used the wrong product. It has a rubbery feel to it and I don't think it was the right choice. My question is does anyone know if I can go right over that undercoating with bedliner like Herculiner? I'm doing this myself and leaning towards Herculiner because its roll on and not much mess and prep time besides the sanding. I don't do a lot of hard hauling like concrete blocks or stuff but want to protect my bed and this is alot cheaper then Line-X.

Thanks guys.

Did you prep the tailgate before applying the undercoat material? If so, you can probably get away with it.
If not, I expect the undercoat will start to lift or peel with use so the liner would also peel.

I have a 6' Trail FX Bed liner and tailgate protector you can have for free. It also includes a custom wood bed divider. You'd just have to figure out how to get it to NH from CA.

Yeah I scuffed up the clearcoat then cleaned with acetone before painting

I think with light hauling you are fine. Maybe use an adhesion promoter and scuff up the undercoating a bit.
