--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no more Line-X in Houston anymore. What is up with that?

What do yall think Line-X or Rhino Lining? I have local Rhino dealers...

Remember Rhino is soft and Line-X is hard. Rhino is sprayed cold (rubbery, soft texture, very non-slip and somewhat clumpy) and Line-X is sprayed hot (cures faster and more uniform appearance, hard somewhat non-slip surface). I had a Rhino in my truck when I first got it. After some damage to the bed I replaced it with a new take-off from a truck equipment company. I had an Arma liner sprayed in(somewhat similar to Line-X). It looks 10 times better. I would look at something else other that Rhino IMO, but it's about the characteristics of the liner YOUR looking for. Nearest Line-X is 142 miles from Houston. Nearest Arma is 240 miles. Good luck!

That seems a little odd as big of a city Houston is that a Line-X cannot be found. Closest city for me is about 7 miles away from my house and it is well over 100,000 pop, they have one right down the road from where I work unless they went out of business lately.

I went Rhino, but only because my dad has 7 years, 130k miles, and COUNTLESS abusive objects in the bed that have done nothing to it.

Sherwin-Williams makes that hard stuff, sells it in automotive emporuims and wallyworld - hard quick-dry roll-on\brush-on really thick enamel stuff.

I like the rubberized coating: it is absolutely non-slip, hides flaws - wish I could get some in quart cans for roll-on application

I kneel on my front bumper when working in the engine bay - the oem bumper had a plastic pad which wasn't too bad - the Buckstop bumper has no such pad, so I coated the flat upper surface with line-x type stuff, thinking it should work - nope! - it's ruff, but hard ruff, and the anti-slip surface pokes thru the jeans, and is not very anti-slip, and is not a nice surface to kneel on, even for a young buck.

A quart of that rubbery spray-on coating would do just fine for the front and rear bumpers.................

From my understanding the two Houston Line-X dealers was owned by the same person. After complaints from shoddy workmanship Line-X pulled their franchise.

Sounds like a franchise opportunity, checking on franchise requirements now.
