Which Spray-On Bedliner To Use.....

I am going to start saving my pennies to have a company spray in an over- the-rail bedliner (long bed) and to also coat my ATS fender flares.

I have used Rhino Linings on 3-4 vehicles in the past, with good results.

I used Line-X one time to spray a grill/brush guard and while it looked good, the coating cracked and peeled off in about 5years.

What are other companies that make/apply spray-on bedliners?

Which should I get and why?

Original Rhino fades, but they have new products now that are suppose to hold up well. I had Arma sprayed in on my truck. The only reason I chose them was they were local. I liked the texture of the product so I had the flares done with the same. You might want to check what's available in your local area first, get quotes, info on the product and then make your choice. Most liner companies come with a warranty so if you use a local one it will be easier to get repairs if the time ever comes.

I am not sure what other companies are out there to search......what are some names?

All I really know is there is a local Rhino Linings shop.

I'm very happy with the Line-X. Had it done 4.5 years ago and holding up great.
In fact last week I had 1,300 lbs of tile on a pallet skidded into the bed by a fork lift. Hardly made a mark on the liner.

Line X

I have put several thousand pounds of fallen trees in my 93 Dak truck for years. The Line X looks like the day it was installed and the truck sits permanently outside. I have never put any preservative on the surface. I will not use any other product. It's also on my 06 truck.

superliner

I had my 05 done with Superliner. They have two styles, low pressure application and High pressure. I chose the low pressure which is thicker and a little softer. The high pressure is thinner but very hard. I have liked the look and durability of the low pressure. Has not faded or torn and I have had everything you can imagine in the back.

i have had line-x on my last three trucks. not one problem. yes, the color faded- but i prefer it that way. i like the matte black finish. i guess line-x now has a uv spray or something like that- i personally don't want that glossy/shiney look on my truck.

We got Line-X on our 02 D-max and it was our first "add-on" to the truck when we got it in September of '01. Looks as good as the day we got it sprayed. But I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that it was sprayed on thick. I know other people who have had their beds done with Line-X, sprayed on thin, and it peeled within a year or so.
So, if your gonna go with Line-X, make sure you scope out and get reviews on all the Line-X dealers in your area and find out who has the best reputation.

I carry lots of tools, oils, fuel, cutting edges/teeth in my truck...
Line-X has held up 100%.

Some slight fading at the bottom of the bed. More of a dark gray now.
