What Spray-in Liner do you have?

[schu777]

I'm interested to see what the current members have for a spray-in liner. I know that this topic is going to be more a personal preference, therefore I like to hear comments from those members that have had experiance with more than one brand of a spray-in liner.

It also depends greatly on what you want to haul in your bed. I use mine for a large slide-in so a non-slick liner was a necessity.

The installation is more important than the brand. A crappy install will ruin even Line-X...



I have had both Rhino and Line-X, and Line-X lasted longer. The Rhino is too soft for my liking. The Line-X has stood up better to the gouges and dragging.

Like Kev said correct installation is the key

Had mine put from the dealer. Dealer gave it to me for his price. Still good. A little dull, but bettern a buch of rust!

My truck had a plastic liner in from new. I pulled it out. I've looked at Rhino, T-rex, and Linex. I like the line-x the best. A local body man also has a product that is hard and slick, but it's a little thin for my liking.



I'm pretty set on getting a Line-x job done.

Has anyone tried the do it your self bed liner stuff. I was thinking about trying it on the front of my travel trailer. Should prevent lots of rock chips

 

[klenger]

Installation is as important as the product. I went with Line-X, and am thrilled with it. Dragged all kinds of heavy stuff across it, and no damage yet.

I have the rhino. Good nonskid. Bad parts are fading and it can get ripped by sharp objects. I am still happy with it but I think I will go with linex on the next truck.

I have had Line-X. So far didn't like it, But I think it was the preperation more then the product. it was sprayed on real thin. Did not last, Got torn by objects, Etc.

My Friend did get Line-X put in his bed Somewhere else and has lasted. So I think it depends on who does it.

My Line-X didn't hold up well... . faded after a year, and gouged real easy. One place that was gouged out, it was pulling away from the bed. I ended up easily pulling up about a 1-foot circular section from the bed. It wasn't put on real thick, either.

Having purchased a Perma-Tech dealership, I went ahead and sprayed it over the Line-X. It looks quite a bit better.

Running without the tailgate for advertising purposes, it's nice not to have to worry about stuff sliding out the back.

And the UV protection built into the Perma-Tech chemical formulation makes it unique on the market. No worries about fading !

We use at least 5 gallons of chemical on a long-wheel base truck, to ensure that the customer gets his or her money's worth.

As others in the TDR say, a lot of it has to do with the installer.

Briar, is a Perma-tech priced comperable to a Rhino or Line-x? Unfortunately, you're wayyy too far to come for a liner, but I'm curious if I should look for a dealer around here.

 

[Briar Hopper]

Yes, Perma-Tech is priced competitively. I feel, based on my research, when I was shopping for a bedliner franchise or dealership to purchase, that Perma-Tech is the best value going out there. Many, many reasons... not the least of which is the UV protection built-in, where the other brands only offer a top coat at an extra charge... .

Perma-Tech is well-entrenched in the industrial coatings market, and they do a booming business in coating everything from the inside of tanks, to brick-crushing augers.

You can find a dealer near you by going to their website, www.perma-tech.com

I had Rhino in the 95 & have Line-x in this one. Both are lasting & are bullet proof. Oo. I removed & prepped the 5th wheel brackets & they squirted them as well.



The Rhino was 'softer', but you couldn't dent, lift or scratch it. The 'softer' surface made things move around less in the bed.

Sounds like a perfect example of a poor installation!!! I have drug/pushed/slid 200 pound chucks of concrete over my Line-X, as well as drag my 100 pound steel hitch accross is before installing it. I have not had one tear or popped up piece yet. Mine was also properly installed. Sounds like yours wasn't. Line-X also has UV protection available now. When mine was installed 5 years ago, they didn't. I have some minor chips and yeah it has faded some, I't's going in next week for a free touch up and UV protection.

I have a Duraliner Bedliner. I had Line-X sprayed on the lower 12" of my truck,all the way around,bumpers included (Sport Truck) because the rocks were chipping me up pretty bad. So far,so good!Oo.

i have the Herculiner, great for the $100, but definately nothing compared to the thick spray-on bed liners. i do have a bed mat too. the great thing is that i can touch up the bed at any time. there's obviously no UV protection as it faded within a week. My dad has a rhino liner and has had great luck with it.
