Liner attempt #2. Much better than before, but not great. Should be ok for use after a few touch ups.
Over the last week I stripped off the peeling liner and primer, then cleaned, sanded, and cleaned again. This afternoon I used a hopper/texture gun to shoot the liner.

Had a major liner and primer reaction screw up yesterday while bed lining my deuce.
I sprayed rusty metal primer on the bed a few weeks ago after roughing up the paint and rust, like I did with the rest of the truck and had great results with oil enamel paint. I did not sand between the two...
