You asking about a bed liner or bed cover? I have a Truxedo Lo Pro bed cover and Line X Bed liner. I'm happy with both. There are photos in my profile.

Save up your money and get it done right with Line-X or even Rhino, you will not be disapointed.

I've had Line-X in both of my trucks now. It's damn near impossible to do damage to it.

In my old truck which was a 2005 Dodge Dakota I ahd the bedliner installed about a month after getting the truck. That summer I was going to dispose of a battery and left in in the back. When I started driving it got loose and starting slamming around. Not thinking about it I jsut left it until I could get rid of it. By the time I finally got around to taking it somewhere it had broken open and leaked battery acid all over the bed of my truck...

When I got home I took a hose and washed it out and was worried that I might have eaten a hole in the liner. NOTHING. No dmage at all. A quick wash down with a hsoe and it looked as shiney and clean as the day it was sprayed.

I will always get a Line-X liner in ever truck I own and I recommend them over anything. Even battery acid couldn't damage it.

 

Line X has some type of lifetime warranty so it definitely makes it worth it.

 

You are not going to get any help from many on here unless it's about Linex or Rhinl liners. I have done six trucks now with Herculiner, have never tried Duplicolor, so I can't comment on that. The main thing for a decent job is the prep work. Yes, you should tape anything you don't want to get the stuff on. Scuffing up the bed, and whatever else you decide to do, is important also. I always did one full day prepping and then the first coat of Herculine, then the second day the second coat went on.

I can say that I looked at Duplicolor once, and was not impressed with it, but, do what you want, and what you can afford.

Remember, PREP.

Good luck

 

hey guys I am going to get it done with linex and I would like to match the color of my truck the truck is white would that be good or would it show a bunch of dirt? And how much do yall think it would be thanks for showing me in the right way and thanks for not letting me get the crap stuff! Thanks for everything!

 

I'm not sure how the white will look because I've always jsut gone with black in case it does get messed up it's cheaper to fix.

I payed $425 for my entire bed to be done about 2 months ago so it's a fairly reasonable price for something that is nearly impossible to damage and doesn't look too bad either.

Here's a pic of it right now:



And I routinely beat it up by sliding my metal ramps with fairly sharp edges along it with no real damage. There are some scuffs and paint rub off from the garden tractor I put in there but all the paint is from the mower.

 

Ok thanks I was just thinking it would be nice to match!

 

I just got an estimate to do my white truck with line-x in northern virginia, and the colored liners are only guaranteed for a year vs. lifetime for the black. At least that's what my local line-x guy said. It was 465 for the black, and an extra 275 for the color matching. I'll sacrifice some style for the lifetime warranty, and use the extra dough for something else for it.
