Spray On Bed Liner

I am looking to get a spray on bed liner for my truck. I am thinking either rhino or line-x. I am looking for opinions and what people have paid for them in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area (I am about 25 min north of St. Paul). If you have the place you did it, that would be great too.

I called two places and the line-x was $499 for under the rail and an extra $120 for going over the rail.

The Rhino was about $50 cheaper.

Thanks,
Nate

The guy who just did mine supposedly uses the same materials/procedures that Line-X uses, but he isn't a franchisee so he can't put the Line-X name on it (I paid $470 total for over-the-rail, but I'm in Detroit so that doesn't help you). He tells me that Rhino uses a "cold spray" procedure while Line-X uses a "hot spray" procedure. According to him, liners applied with a "cold spray" procedure end up being a bit thicker and take longer to cure than those applied with a "hot spray" procedure. At any rate, this is the second Line-X (or equivalent) liner I've had and it has served me well.

You really can't go wrong with either of them compared to a drop in liner. I've had Line-X in my last 3 trucks and have been extremely satisfied with them. I'm in Michigan also so that doesn't help either. Here's my advice....If you do any type of hauling, do the over the rails, your bed rails will love you for it. I recently had my wheel wells done on my truck, but didn't think of it when I got the bed done. So I had to pay a little more for it because they had to re-tape everything. But you should decide if you want the inside of the rear wheel wells done with Line-X. It will be cheaper to do it when you get the inside of the bed done than later on. Also it looks good and helps protect the wheel wells from everything.

I've got Line X on mine and love it so far. Not sure what the cost was as I had it thrown in with the purchase of the truck.

Over the years on my various pickups they evolved from nothing, to a rubber mat, to a spray-in and now a BedRug for the past four years. If you ever sit on your tailgate or haul things you don't want broken, it's the way to go.

Only thing I'd go back to a spray-in for is if I needed to haul gravel every day.

Has anyone on here tried ArmorThane?

I know that the owner of it was partners when with the guy that has Rhinoliner and they split. This guy change the formula slightly and it is between Rhino and lineX on hardness.

I found a great deal for it if I buy a tonneau cover which I am doing anyway.

For my new Ford 150, I was going to get a sprayed in liner because they are excellent. The problem I have is that I haul my sled in the box and the carbides will not slide easily on that surface and unless protected, the carbides would gouge the sprayed-on liner. Another thing, with some of the sprayed in liners they have to prep the bed down to bare metal to get proper adhesion and I didn't like that idea to much. I decided instead on a drop in plastic bed liner like I had in my last truck. The drop in plastic bed is a lot cheaper (about half the cost in my case) and the sled carbides slide on it very well with no damage to the liner.

We have our enclosed trailer floor sprayed with a colored bed liner coating and it holds up well.I have buzzed the tracked many times with chisels and they hardly stratch the coating.The sleds slide better on the coating than wood.

Slap a cheap piece of plywood on top of the spray on and won't have to worry about it getting tore up
