Default Colormatching bedliner?

Has anyone here gotten their spray in liner color matched? I know LineX offers it, does it actually match well? I want to do over the rail, and I think black would look odd on my truck (flame red)....
Also, if you have had yours color matched, is it as durable? It seems like it would be, but thinking about it I got worried that when you add in the color mix, it might make it a weaker formula.

Thanks for any help, and pics would be great!!

Does it count if your truck is black?

I have not but I have seen some trucks that have. I know a little about Linex but the two that I am dealing with are Rhino and Speed liner, from what I understand Linex is right up there with them both. If they do what Rhino does then they can match anything, they can even take paint samples of your truck and match it. Now understand it wont be shiny and pretty like your truck but it will look just like the color. I take it you have a red truck? I personally did not like the red bed liners, just my opinion, but red isn't my favorite color. You like it so maybe you will like the red bed liner. But it will give it a nice custom look to it. Back to the original question (sorry, I just go off sometimes and loose myself) the color match options look pretty good. Good luck!

Over the rail will protect the top..thats the only advantage. I like the look of "under the rail", but I've already dinged up the top of my tailgate, so I need the protection of over the rail.


On my way home from school today I saw a LineX truck (company truck) in front of me. Of all colors, it was red and had a black bedliner, didnt look too bad! I'll probably go with black since it looks alright, and is ALOT cheaper.

I really think that black is the way to go. When my father in law got Rhino liner on his 96 ram, the guy at the store dissuaded him from the color match, said that it will fade in time.

I had my 04 Hemi QC Laramie sprayed over rail, I have a canopy on mine and I didn't want to scratch up the top of the rails and tailgate. It was driving me crazy seeing scratches in the box when I had to wait to get it sprayed. It was well worth it.

I don't think white would look good on mine.. I try to stick to the traditional black. Have no clue what a red or a blue would look like.
