I saw a video for line-x and it has something like a 5-10 second flash time.

the line-x is better than rhino. line-x doesnt fade or pel like rhino tends to do. as far as cleaning out your bed, you can easily sweep, or spray out yiour bed. ive also read on other forums the exact question with better response so do some homework before you make the jump, youll be glad you did. as far as would i get spray in again? without question.

Personally, I prefer Rhino over Line-X, cause Line-X will scratch the heck out of anything you put in your bed...it is gritty and rough. But, if that's what you want, then Line-X is the way to go.

Rhino is a little more pliable from what I've seen, and it stays that way. Not sure about Line-X.

I'm not sure about the 1hr, they must be pretty good. They have to take out all your trim pieces (cargo ties) out of the bed, and make sure they don't spray over your tailgate access panel (if they have one, my ranger did). Then they scuff the crap out of your paint to make it stick (they use a scuffing pad, looks like a scotch-brite pad.) There's probably like 55 mins of prep work, and 5 mins of spraying. I watched mine done, it's pretty cool. The applicator has a swizzle stick on the end, where it mixes the two chemicals as they are being sprayed. This is what forms the reaction to harden. I was pretty impressed with the Rhino, and I'd do it again if I had the $$$. My truck came with the factory bedliner, so I'll keep it for now.

I just had the Rhino "TUFF GRIP" sprayed a few weeks ago and I am happy with it , stuff stays put, it is more rubbery than the standard Rhino liner. My bed is covered so I am not worried about fading , or being exposed to the eliments. I paid $530 for over the rail and it took about 5 hrs to complete.

i guess you would want to figure out what types of things you may be carrying in the bed. i personally carry things like bricks, blocks, mulch, stone, salt, sand, trees/logs, and steel scrap to name a few. the line-x is perfect for these types of materials because it wont chip or peel. it is harder with grit. if you haul things like furniture etc, then the softer, more pliable rhino would be a better choice.

I'm going with line-x in a couple of weeks. My dad has it on his truck from about 6 years ago and it still looks good. The price I got from my local dealer was $550 for over the rails and a few hours to do it. The difference between Rhino and line-x is that line-x sprays on at high pressure and high temperature, rhino does neither. Check this video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5CLSMUQYMo
