Default RE: Linex or Rhino Linning

I found a guy that does garage floor painting/re-surfacing, during the week. On weekends, he did spray-on liners, for trucks. He did a custom liner, for me. It was $200 for the entire bed, over the rails. It turned out very nice. Itis thicker than rhino and line-x.He did it with aspray rig, at my house.So, I didn't have to drop the truck off overnight or anything. It dried overnight (to the touch) and Ididn't put anything on it for about a week. The only issue I had was that he lefthis other spray rig at home and had to sponge on the UV coat. It looked solid, until after the 2nd or 3rd wash. At that point you could see how uneven the UV coat was. I let it go and bought a tonneau. I don't have to look at it anymore. But as far as chips and scratches...none. Thosedeals are out there. You just have to look.

I don't think it matters which you get as long as it has the texture that you like and you find someone that offers a lifetime warranty on it.

Mine is in today because my liner is peeling up and under the liner it is now rusting, I got a lifetime warranty so they are fixing it. I have a co-worker that has a Rhino Lining and his is crumbling off but he drives a 97 Dodge and had it sprayed in soon after he bought it.

Anyway shop for the warranty and look/texture not the name brand.

Line-X has a company repairwarranty, it shouldn't be up to shop whether they feel like fixing it or not. Go to their website. It helps if you keep the reciepts.

I have Rhino in my new 07 F350 work truck. It has been in there maybe a year, if that, and it is faded and looks grayish already. I think it looks like crap for not being very old. We got 5 trucks at the same time and they all look the same. Not to mention, if you sit on it, or rub your clothes on it, you get that grayish color on your clothes.

I have the LineX in my 05 1500and my dad has the Rhino in his 05 2500, the only difference mainly is the rhino kinda comes out more like a rubbery texture while the Linex is a harder surface. either works and both are a pain when putting something into the bed but they beat plastic bed liners

I have beenpleased with both, although I recommend the LineX for a few reasons:
1.LineX is a quicker install since it dries faster. They can do it while you wait. Rhino Lining meantleavingthe truck for almost a day.
2. Since LineX is thinner they are able to spray it down between the hinge area between the tailgate and bed. Rhino Lining leaves this area uncovered.
3. The LineX over the rail turned out very nice for me. The Rhino installer didn't even offer this. (maybe some do?)

You should get the "Bed Rug" instead.
Yup, I got a Bed Rug, and beat it to death. Pressure wash it & good as new. I'll put one in EVERY truck I buy from now on...

Default RE: Linex or Rhino Linning

i had rhino lining in my old truck, and i have Linex in the dodge and for reasons i can't specify i know i prefer Linex, it came from the dealer with it. and the rhino was expensive even for a qc s-10 with like a 5ft box, it was way overcharged, might have been the installer, but i know now that i will get Linex from now on
