Spray-in liner no good?

Do you happen to know if the Line-X dealer on Brice Rd. is the only one in town? I'm on the west side of Columbus.
Thanks again.

PS - nice Cobra!

Thanks for the compliment on my Cobra
I really like my LINE-X
The LINE-X spray-in bedliner in my '04 STX is the 4th one I've had with absolutely no problems.
Just about anything black is going to oxidize over a period of time if not protected from the UV's.
The LINE-X in my new '04 is about 1/4" thick on the floor and 3/16" thick on the sides. Anything heavy enough dropped in a bed with spray-in or other types of liners will cause dents.
The insert type bedliners will ware the paint off in a period of time and cause some rusting.
I had the Line-X in my new truck sprayed in mainly for looks but if I need to use it, the LINE-X will perform well. The A.R.E. tonneau cover will keep the sun off of it.

Obviously depends mostly on how you will use your truck. Mine always have a shell on them and nothing more than a Rubbermaid floor liner. That has always been all I needed. They do haul some pretty good loads and the inside gets a little dented and scratched, but the loading floor is all I've ever worried much about. Never seen any rust. With all of this debate, I wonder if Nissan isn't really onto something with their factory sprayed-in liners on the new Titan? Seems like a good idea. You don't have to deal with scruffing up the original paint first and I would bet there's a good primer under it. Don't want to get flamed here, just seems like competition is always a good thing. I think this is something Ford should offer and maybe they will soon.
I put some strips of rubber roofing in under my bedliner when I installed it. I'll take it out and give the bed a good cleaning in the spring and see if the rubber helped prevent the paint wear I've had with my last truck.
