Good luck on doing a nice job. And if you do, the stuff you buy from the store and do yourself won't last near as long as the professionally sprayed stuff.

I got bullhide spray on liner over the rails. I think I paid 450 for it. It has a glossy finish to it, but things dont slid around. It also came with a life time warranty. I love it.

If you are going to do a spray in liner just pay to get it done. I have not seen a home job come out looking good yet.

I'm gonna do the rhino liner....i know quite a few guys with it and they've all said the same thing, put down 3 or 4 coats and it's thicker then the spray on stuff and lasts just as long....hell we put in our work truck and it's held up pretty good

if you work alot with the truck i would keep the liner, they are tough as hell, i would think the spray ins wouldnt protect from denting the actual bed. the liners have that bounce factor

Oh I wouldn't worry about denting the bed. A properly done spray in liner is thick as hell and pretty tough.

I used to work at the Pentagon doing supply sales for the rebuild and renovation and they were actually spraying Line X into the walls to help bomb proof the building. If it's BOMB proof... I think it should hold up alright in the bed of your truck. :-)

the bad thing about the liners is that water could potentially get in underneath it and when you go to take it off, the whole bed has rusted. that would suck then.
