Spray in bed liner - which one?
 

Is there any difference in spray in bed liners? For instance, Line-x claims their product is superior to soft spray in liners. Are they refering to Rhino liners? Please post your experiences with spray in bed liners of any brand. I'm planning on getting my truck done and am hoping for the best choice available. Thanks!

Id say Rhino or Herculiner

I'm about to get one myself. From what I have seen, Line-X looks the best over time. I think most of them come with a vehicle-lifetime gaurantee. Some Line-X dealers are now offering a clearcoat option that keeps the liner looking "wet" at all times without leaving that greasy film behind. The shop that I know of that offers this is called Bedliners Plus in Orange County. If you're out of the area, check them out anyway for research purposes.

Kdirectorate,

Thanks I appreciate the info! A friend of mine recently got the Line-x liner and is happy with it so far. He mentioned they (Line-x dealer) offered some kind of sun screen which will somehow prevent fading. He was told these spray in liners have a tendancy to fade to a grayish color. Is that what you were referring to when you mentioned the clear coat? He declined it as I think it was another $140 or something like that.

Sounds like the same thing. The place I checkd out said it would be an extra $100-125. It could be a deal depending on how long you plan to own the vehicle ...or if you still care how 'pretty' your truck is after 5 more years. They also offer colors for the spray-in liners, which could make fading moot if you're into that sort of thing.

i have rhino liner in my truck and my brother has linex in his, in the end they are both top of the line spray in bed liner and i do believe they both offer lifetime warranty and both offer a spray that will restore that new look when your liner begins to fade, either way you go your making a good choice

line x has been extreemly durable so far and i aint been easy on it ........im a contractor

Check out Durabak... www.durabak.com

I've been really happy with it, and at $99/gal it is a pretty good deal.

Warranty: Rhino's is lifetime but only with the dealer that sprayed it. Line-X's is a nationwide lifetime warranty. (Any dealer will fix it.)

Product: Rhino is 100% polyurethane. Line-X is polyurethane and polyurea. Line-X is harder but has more than double the tear strength of Rhino.

Fading: Rhino has a topcoat called Rhino Shine. It must be periodically reapplied. LINE-X has two one-time application products, Ultra Shield and Xtra. Xtra costs more because it has Kevlar and it actually migrates into the bedliner.

Herculiner, Durabak, Duplicolor: All are solvent based polyurethanes. None of them have the durability or strength of the professional stuff.

i think it also depends on who sprays it. i have a rhino liner and the guy kinda sprayed it too thick and its clumpy in some spots and too smooth in others. it has torn in two places. oh well...

I personally went with a spray in bed liner called "Speedliner". www.speedliner.com I love it and it matches my paint perfectly with their topcoat system and it still looks the same as when I got it sprayed on two years ago. It's been tested to have a very high tear strength and it's held up great in my truck with the abuse out on our farm.

I did alot of research on the spray on liners before I did this and it seemed like Speedliner was the best all around product in terms of fade resistance and strength. Rhino and Line-X are certainly the most well-known brands out there. Line-X only came in black? (don't know if that's still true?) and was a harder material which I thought might be more slippery, especially when wet? I liked the Rhino texture but have had friends who had this sprayed on and it was faded and chalky within a year?

Just don't put the drop in liners in or do the DIY stuff like Herculiner, it won't hold up nearly as well. Go with the good stuff!

Line-x hands down. I know of 4 Rhino lined trucks that have chipped after heavy usage. Both companies can color match if you so choose. For the money you will spend, Line-x is the better investment

RE: Spray in bed liner - which one?
 

I am the opposite on this. I know this is an old post, but what the hell. I went with the Rhino Liner because the friends I know with Line ex have had nothing but problems. It really depends on the installer though. I have had mine for two years, and it hasn't faded, chipped or torn, and I use it and abuse it all the time. So it really depends on who puts it in. I agree that the sunscreen is a must with a Rhinoliner, unless you want to have it recoated every couple of years.

RE: Spray in bed liner - which one?
 

I also have the Line-X, and am totally happy with it. I have had all kinds of heavy stuff in the back of my truck, and not one chip yet. I have heard a few stories that people have had issues with some of the lesser known products, so I would spend the extra $$$ and get it done right the first time. Just my .02

RE: Spray in bed liner - which one?
 

it depends on what's available in your area, I am in the San Jose, CA area and at the chevy dealership I work at I have used them all, and by far the best one we have had, and now only use is "spray on bedliners" http://www.sprayonbedliners.com/ the regular one is the thickest I have ever seen, plus they offer a construction grade liner. and the installation looks nicer that anyone elses ive seen, they do a great job masking.

speedliner never fades

i have a rhino bed liner and it sucks, seems to keep things like logs in place but its ripped in places and they did a horible job putting it in, guy said they would sand the pain in my bed so the stuff would stick and well it peeled and there shined my stock clear coat and paint.i hear alot of good things about linex tho.

RE: Spray in bed liner - which one?
 

From what I have heard line-X and Rhino are similar and both wear out if they are rubbed against themselves or similar material. Also I think they expect people to sell their trucks before they wear out liner. I have one from a local company that is holding up great so far. I will find out who makes it and repost. It is very hard and doesn't hold tool boxes and such without moving as well as line-x and rhino as it is not as soft but seems much more durable.

line-x all the way my uncle is a contractor and baets the **** out of his and its still holding up after 2.5 years

RE: Spray in bed liner - which one?
 

The one I got is by "liquid metal".

LINE-X is more expensive because it's the best. You can't buy a Lexus at a Kia price.
