I am looking a putting in a spray in liner, I got a quote for a Rhino - Liner of $369. The dealer also told me that he had less expensive liners for $270. Is the Rhino Liner worth the extra money? Also, is this a good price for the Rhino - Liner?

BTW - Short box styleside

 

Me, I like the spray-ins over the drop-ins. That price seems good to me. I've heard $400 is the average price for a spray-in. Mine cost me $300 cause I got a discount for going through the dealer to a local company.

UKNIGEL,
That's exactly what I did, I have had the truck since March and the bed has alot of bare metal scratches in it and I want to get a spray in liner b4 the Roads start to get salted!!!

 

Definitely get the spray-in liner.

I think Rhino (and most others) sets up their dealers "exclusively" within geographic boundries. So, if you're sure about the Rhino, then that's the price you'll have to pay unless you can get the dealer to negotiate price (doubtful) or travel to the next dealer's area. Be sure the dealer offers the lifetime warranty- not all of them do!!

Havent ever had the Rhino but have recently had the Line-X installed in mine. I have to say I like the texture better that the Rhino. It seemed easier to "tear or damage" than the Line-X. Also the Line-X dealer will remove all hardware and reinstall after the liner is sprayed in so things can be worked on. All the bolts in my tailgate and tiedowns were removed before spraying. Not sure about the Rhino. Im sure both are quality liners and much better than dropins. I paid $330.00 for the Line-X. Good luck, I dont think you will go wrong with either.

My Rhino dude removed the tailgate bolts and tie-downs. The access plugs in the front bed-wall are sprayed over, too. But he punched a couple of drain holes in the front of the bed before he sprayed it and they were large enough diameter to still drain water after being sprayed.
I'm happy.

My Rhino dealer had two styles: normal was 3/8" thick and heavy-duty was 3/4" thick. I got the heavy-duty for $319 in a short bed styleside.

Only complaint is that they spray over the rubber grommets at the front of the bed and end up sealing off the area where water would normally drain. It's still better than the scratches and rust underneath a drop-in.

 

The rhino lining spray in liner is the best investment i made on my truck. They removed everything before they sprayed so things can be accessed afterwards. The only thing you have to do is use some vinyl floor polish to bring the shine back every few months, it is real easy.

$270 for a Rhino, thats a steal. I cost me $250 for my Speedliner, which I spray at home, got the same results as a Rhino but has more of a shinier texture.
