white rhino lining?

is there a white? i was considering having everything from the trim line down done, but i would want it in white to match.

is there a white offered? does it yellow over time? is it brutal to get oil and road crap clean since its a rough texture?

any thoughts?

I've heard that it yellows over time, but no first hand experience.

I just can't imagine trying to clean it - it would be like cleaning white tile grout, woudn't it?

Waht would a basic black lining run? I've been thinking about doing it to 96_12V for a while now, and should have years ago.

I saw a white truck on I-5 down by Tacoma w/ the rhino lining sprayed on the rockers in the silver color like on the two-tones. I think its called driftwood. It looked really good but I think it was line-ex. I only noticed because we were in traffic and I saw the linex plaque under the door trim, then noticed it was a lot rougher, but looked good. Kurt

Try Durabak, its a do it yourself kit, every color imaginable. Very durable, reasonably priced. We use it on the boats in harsh weather environments, very easy to apply, very tough stuff. Just google the name, the main page comes right up. I am going to do my rocker panels this spring to cure the dodge rot.

I used the black DIY stuff in the bed, after a few years, few battery acid spills its shot. Id like to keep it all white, i have seen my same truck with the black , just not for me. Maybe an emron paint or somthing would be better.

I am planning on the same thing once it warms up. I was thinking durabak or the herculiner do it yourself stuff. I did notice the other night at Super Wally World there was a Plasticote spray on bedliner in cans. They were about 7 bucks each. I was thinking about buying one and testing it out on some scrap metal, then throw it in the bed of the truck and drive it around until winter is over to see how it holds up.

Any of the guys that I know that used the cheaper stuff had it peel and chip,scar pretty easily. The Lin-ex and Rhino guys do offer a lifetime warranty to their product and colors can be mixed into it. Kurt
