Default rhino lining idea

how do you think it would look if i rhino lined my whole truck its basically just a woods beater and there all kinds of scratches in the paint. has anyone tryed this?any known problems or helpful advice to doing this? i think it look real cool but im not sure if in the winter snow and ice wouldnt build up on it real bad.

Pretty cool actually. I saw a Ram 2500 Cummins with his entire truck rhino-lined. Very neat looking. I talking every nook and cranny from the front bumper to the rear bumper. On the plus side, your exterior maintenence will never be easier. Don't have to wax anymore, and it will always look good + no rust can form! Lots of advantages...

false statement unless you have it line-x'd, you will have to armorall it all the time because it will fade in 6 months time unless your truck never sees daylight, and make sure you use a good prep solvent otherwise you will have air pockets that create condensation thus bring on the cancer!! I have a rig that I rhino lined several years ago, and it is badass but see above

line-x yes... rhinoline.. not thick enough for whole truck protection.. unless you get several coats (5-7) and get the UV protectant gel

I can not speak for myself but have heard of the liner material likes to bond with mud(not in a good way).That being said I think a truck with Rhino/line x looks pretty damn good.I know a few rock crawler guys do it and it looks BA.Post a pick when you are done.Maybe leave the inner fender wells stock or paint with a high gloss to repel the mud.Good luck.

I've seen a couple trucks with it now, all of them are rams. Looks pretty good, if I was to turn a truck into a complete woods beater I'd go with line-x. Rhino liner, to me, doesn't look near as good as line-x and as it was mentioned earlier already, it fades in no time whereas line-x lasts forever.

i have had both and my rhino was just as thick as linex. in fact i like the rhino better. it has more grip than the linex to hold stuff still in the bed.
