Post RHINO vs LINE-X

Which Spray-In Liner Is Better Or Are They Pretty Much The Same?
Thanks

Both are good liners, check both the local shops and the quality of their work.

Rhino Linings use first generation plastics and tend to fade and peel. I'm not sure about Line-X, just make sure when you get it sprayed on that they're using the second generation polymer. You should expect to pay about $325 for a regular bed and they should match it to the color of your truck for that price.

Question

First generation Plastics? like I said, both are top of the line and are only as good as the shop installing it. With proper installation and care both liners will outlast you and your truck.

I agree totally with rhino. Check the installers FIRST. Your lining will only be as good as the installation. I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but around here the Rhino liner looks like cottage cheese. It doesn't have a uniform appearance. It also doesn't seem to be as bright; "sparkly" as the Line-X.
I've had good success with my Line-X. I've hauled rock, mulch, some rusty wrought irons gates, a palletized 'fridge and a sofa so far. I don't have so much as a nick on the lining. I paid $378 for mine and it looks as good as the day I had it applied. Do your homework and you'll be just fine.

I agree with rhino and sundog7. We have a Line X - under very heavy use it has held up quite well.

Have Line-X in both my '98 F-150 and my dad's '69 Bronco. I agree with sundog7, the Rhino stuff is not as nice looking, nor is it a uniformed look. If I remember right Rhino is applied cold and Line-X is applied hot, which accounts for the difference in thickness and texture. Love my Line-X!
