spray in bed liner
« on: December 28, 2011, 08:26:53 AM »
Folks,

I want to have the bed of my Dodge Dakota treated with spray in bed liner. It seems that Rhino Liner and Line-x are the big names. Has anyone used either of these products and why did you use the type you did?

I found an old thread on this topic from back in 2003 (Karnak was looking for the same info at the time), and most seemed to favor Line-X. I wanted to see if that is still the preferred type or if things have changed since then.

Thanks

I did mine myself after getting estimates of $400- $600 for the shops in my area to do it.  I used Duplicolor brand DIY roll-in bed liner from Advanced Auto Parts. IIRC it cost me a lil less than $140 because I have a full size Chevy and needed an extra quart.

Hope this is helpful to you.   :salute

I had a Rhino liner shot into mine (05, 2500 4dr Silverado), and its a remarkable product.Very satisfied with it. After 5yrs its still holding up fine. I think it ran about $400 to have done at the time.

I used the Rhino liner because it was alot thicker than the others, so the cost was worth it for me.

I have the Xtreme Liner. Has 8% pigment which means even my '98 truck I sold to my son-in-law has a very black bedliner. Does not grey out.

It is not just the liner but the way it is sprayed in that makes the difference. Xtreme has a lifetime warrantee against damage. They fix it free. It is not too soft that it damages easy and it is not too hard where everything slides around.

A friend here got her truck sprayed with Line-X.  It's held up nicely, though she doesn't do much hauling.

I have the factory coating in my '06 Nissan Titan, and it's crappy.  It's bubbling in a few spots.  I don't know what brand it is, but if I can find out, I'll post it.

I might add that I use a truck as a truck. I haul a lot of heavier metal items in the 400 to 500 lb range. The bed holds up nicely. Never had to do warrantee work on it.

Suggestion...........

If you don't have bars running along the top of the bed on each side, consider the over the top installation. People tend to walk up to a truck and set things on the top sides of the bed. Bedliner on there just protects it and looks nice.

...as shown on this truck.

I use mine as a truck too, but I definitely got the lemon built on a Friday, perhaps in December, most likely before Christmas!  :)

My vehicle has been in for service for 45 days now for unrelated problems, with the biggest being a bad transmission.  All work was done under warranty, but still, what a POS.

Got a line-x in mine, over the top of the sides too. Clean lines, good coverage and consistent work (no bumps or bubbles where they shouldn't be) Came with the truck, so no idea what it cost.

If you can afford the extra cost, have the coating colored the same as your truck.  It looks %100 better.
