I used Herculiner for a ton of applications: truck beds (inside & out), truck rocker panels and the interior of 'Yota cab.
Like you said and reiterated above, prep, prep, prep. I always use a green Scoth Brite pad. All glossiness needs to be removed (as well as all loose rust or paint). I always wipe down once with HOT water, let the surface dry and then wipe down with Acetone. For the first two coats I always use a small (1 or 2 inch) paint brush then I switch over to the roller. I did the entire interior of the 'Yota cab with a bruch. Put a coat on, let it dry until tacky (a small amoutn left on your finger when you touch test it), apply the next coat and repeat. I've done it several times with cold weather, I always used a garage with a heater where I could maintain the temperature. The more coats that you put on the more durable that it'll be.
