ok guys...im supposed to be getting my truck back from the shop since it got totalled and im wanting to put a spray in bed liner in it. ive heard good stuff about rhino liners but ive also heard that the color in them fades with time so i was thinking about line-x but dont know much about them....does anybody know much about bed liners and have some advice on which one to get?

price isnt really an issue by the way...

I have quite a bit of experience with spray in bedliners. I have had Rhino, Toff and Line X. Line-X is by far the best. No fading in mine never any problem. Rhino faded in a year. Was black faded to a dark gray. Toff was pure garbage. Had to be resprayed three times in a year. Line-X is the only way to go.

my dad has a line x in his truck bed and it is starting to chip bad right on the edge. I rather have the color fade than have it chip. jmo:rolleyes:

How are you gettig your truck back if it was totaled?


Anywho, my Rhino Liner has held up fine with minimal discoloration after five years now. I'd stand by Rhino.:cool:

DO NOT GET LINE-X if you actually use your truck bed or it will be chipped up all over. Thats what happened to my Dads. If I was you I would get one that you put on yourself for $100 and it comes with everything you need.

I have had line-x in 4 trucks now and never had any problems. Over time it will fade slightly but you can use I think any kind of dressing (like finish 2001 I think its called) and it will bring the color back. To all the people that say it chips it is all in how it is installed I had three done by one guy and have had no problems but the last one was done by a different guy and it has chipped in one place already.

Rhino Linings: Soft and rubbery.
Line-x: hard with almost a sandpaper type finish.

I would use either over anything else but I like line-x best.

Definately go with line-x. Anyone who claims theirs chipped...go to a different dealer and have them fix it with their lifetime warranty. Your dealer must have f'd up

Exactly... They will probably all chip at some point... I know the line-x ones you can bring back and they will fix it for free.

my budie has line-x and it holds up prety well. Looks good in his black truck. Also it goes up on the bed sides so you dont have to wory about scratching them when/if you walk on them.

A good friend of mine installs Rhino, a few other friends have gotten them done. No problems with them yet. I know Rhino lining sells a Color Restoritive. You could probably get them to throw in a bottle just in case when you get it installed.

yeah have them drag that **** down to the first "line". Hard to tell, but you can see it up in the right hand corner. You can also see where I had them cover up rust from a saggy door rubbing. You can do a lot with this stuff if you have a good installer.
