good point, the key phrase being "a professional job"
if one is incabable of producing the professional results they are looking for, then by all means, paying someone else is the obvious solution.
for myself and others like me, I am very uncomfortable with the idea alone of someone else touching my truck. It just seems that most of the time, the hired hands don't give a rat's ass about mine or your truck, and are there for the sole purpose of collecting a check. I prefer to be in control of my objectives, knowing my standards, rather than being at the mercy of someone else.
As for herculiner, it has nothing to do with luck, but rather prepwork and attention to detail. As with anything, you get out of it what is put in. The key to any spray, or roll in bedliner product is proper prepwork. the surface must be scuffed accordingly to allow the mastic to adhere properly. I sanded my entire floor and bed with 60 grit to give a rough enough surface to promote this adhesion. after the sanding, it is imperitive the surface is cleaned with an appropriate wax and grease remover. (a good paint reducing solvent is ok too) . then its just a matter of masking off and rolling on the product. Hell, anybody thats ever painted a wall can handle that.
either way, hope this helps fellow ck5'ers in choosing what is best for them.
