Beware of Imposters...
That is just ridiculous. But I know what you are talking about with those other brands.
I talked with the Line-x rep here in Red Deer for their industrial coatings division, and they spend more time training their clients on getting the prep done properly than applying the product. I know the local outlet that does Line-x was cautioning me on the prep for it to re-shoot my box rail on the passenger side after the re-paint, to make sure it was fully cured.
The jobber stuff that the body shop put on 3 years ago on that rail (after the collision) just flaked off in hard chips.

When I had mine sprayed the folks at Line-X put little raised letter plastic emblems on the rear side walls of my bed and sprayed over them. They say Line-X clear as can be.

I should clarify.. They were very adamant about prep more over me letting the paint cure for at least a few months before they try and shoot the Line-x on. I wanted to try and get all the work done at once so I could put my cover back on, but they said "see you in the spring". It was not for me to prep..
Everything has you wonderin' Alice.
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.

I know why they do it but it still was tough to watch.

i hear ya. people were almost puking when I took a wire wheel to an $1100 custom fuel tank. Was prepping it for the hurculiner coating. took the spiral wire cup wheel to it, wiped it down with laqure thinner to remove any oils and coated it. turned out VERY nice.

How is the solar panel/wind sail attachment working for you?
If I was the OP I might be a bit upset how this went off topic.
Whoops, nevermind.
Fossil State in effect.
