Default Your Experience With Spray On Bed Liner ?

I've been researching spray on bed liner company's and owners of their truck, and it's almost 50/50% with the company's, good & bad preparation, quality, longevity etc...


One video from an owner of a truck show's how his pealed off like a sheet of rubber. I'll bet it was because of bad cleaning and no scuffing of the paint, that the liner did not have enough grab a hold of.


I'm a retired auto body man, so I know how important prep is.


Please describe your experience with the company you chose, quality, warranty, ect...and would you do it again ?

I think I have Linex but I'm not sure. A local body shop did it. It is holding up great except for one spot where a cat scratched it.

I have two concerns.


Will the company prep the metal very well, so it will not lift ?


Will it end up cracking like a lot like body undercoating, even from the factory, thus retaining water and start rusting.


Don't ever have undercoating sprayed on when ordering a new car or aftermarket application's !

A reputable company should do the prep required.

Mine has never lifted. A cat won't scratch linex. I've carried concrete blocks, construction debris, mowers, tillers, aerators, tons of lumber, and there are no scratches.

+1 with the Rhino also since inception 1998 and it is still solid as a rock. I had one little area on the top that came a little loose, silicone it up and it's good to go.

I called a local LineX dealer, and it's $475 for my Club Cab.
