We have bought some herculiner (advertised as do-it-yourself bed liner) which goes on a bit like rhino linings. the kit used to be about $230 for 4 litres, but add to that about $30 for Xylene to thin/clean up. There is lots of wastage. a LWB tub would probably take almost 3 litres.

However, the last two batches we bought were old stock and it was basically stuffed. the rubber had settled to the bottom of the cans and pretty much set like bitumen. It is good product if fresh though, you can get it through Lynx products. If you take the lid iff and it's not liquid all the way through, you will never get a good result.

Other than that, try a panel shop suppliers? (if you mean the beige fleck type stuff)

Rhino lining a sierra tub inside runs about $600-800 but will last forever, they can match colours, and you can choose the thickness and texture. Rhino linings is a franchised business, there may be someone in your area, might be worth getting a quote so you know the worst case. Looks much neater than the DIY stuff though as it is sprayed hot.
