Beware of Imposters...
At least with spray in bedliners.
I was told my bedliner on the stretched Mega was from Line-X. NOT.
Its all peeling off and in less then 25 min I have removed over 2/3 of it.
I stopped by the local Line-X shop before and after the removal. Turns out the bed was improperly prepped and some of it was paper thin. In addition to that I am finding all sorts of abuse like wear under this cheap spray on crap. I will post pix when I can get them downloaded. I have to pull the hitch rails and the aux tank to get it all out.
The folks at Line-X offered me up a nice deal to fix the dents and to re-coat it with real Line-X if I provide them the pictures of the poor prep.
I can do that.

Sorry to hear of your troubles Scotty, sounds like Line-x will take care of you on this.
I have Line-x in my truck bed and it holds up great. I will be taking the truck in to get over the rail line-x done next.

Yikes. I have been thinking about getting my drop in liner changed to a spray in. Thanks to your post I will be careful when finding a place to do it. Only reason I like my drop in is the ribs seem to hold the dirt bikes tires from shifting but I keep thinking about the dirt grinding into my bed under it.

For the do-it-yourselfers out there, I've found that a product called Grizzly Grip is comparable to Line-x. I've used it in both rolled on and sprayed on form in quite a few applications including truck beds and have been very happy with the results. Good people to deal with, very willing to offer advice when needed too.

Instructions, costs, advice and a phone number for the questions that aren't covered. Great people!

My dang camera was not charged up enough to transfer pix today. I will try tomorrow.
There are a few issues with the liner that was/is in the bed of the truck right now. I found water and dirt under some areas. I also found very little prep.
Compound that with super thin product and it makes for a mess.
I will take the aux tank and the hitch rails out when the garage is done. I also need to relocate my air compressor for the air bags...its going on the bottom side of the bed instead of in the bed. I may get the fuel tank sprayed in Line-X too.
All the bolts for the aux tank and the compressor are going to be stainless this time too.
As the guy at Line-X stated...prep is 90% of the job.
