LINE-X ~ swear by it!
Here's my LINE-X story! I had my boat out of the water to apply some bottom paint. During my stay at local boat yard, a combine or trash collector boat pulled up beside me. It was a stainless steel, flat bottom boat. It did not have any paint on the bottom and the owner was complaining about rust; go figure! Anyway.....he started telling me about this stuff called LINE-X. He was an engineer type person and really seemed to know what he was talking about; convinced me anyhow! Long story short....he coated his boat and I kept in contact with him to see how it was working out. To date, he has coated all seven of his boats, his truck, trailers of various types, etc...
Well, here is my back ground; I have been in the corporate smell of things for over fifteen years. The timing was such that I needed a change. So I started investigating in LINE-X. I visited shops, I toured the corporate facility, I asked constuction people if they have heard of it, you name it!! From the boat guy to Joe Construction, I have never been more impressed with a product. One of the local dealers has even proposed to coat the water rides and the new Disney water park. This stuff is unbelievable.
If you haven't guess it, I quit my 15 year job...and bought a LINE-X dealership. I am spraying everything from swingsets to boat trailers and of course, truck beds! Yes...it is more spendy than that stuff you get in a can (the one that the lid doesn't come off ). But this is one of those products that I can honestly say, "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!" I recently sprayed a fleet of tow trucks. The customer requested that the thickness be at least 1/4 inch! Now how long would you be there if you were trying to get that thickness out of a can? From start to finish, the average truck takes two hours. The LINE-X itself dries in 5 seconds; no drips or sags like the competitor! The preparation is what take the time; what you don't cover will inevitably get sprayed. ANYWAY....that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Oh, one other thing....if your ever in the Southern California Area and want you truck sprayed, or if you just need to ask questions, give me a call:
South Bay LINE-X

Thanks, Jeff
One additional comment.
I have had Rhino in two of my previous trucks and I was quite satisfied with it. I did notice that it had a worn look to it after the first year or so, but I was kind of hard on it. Honestly, any kind of liner is going to show wear if you're hard on it! The one thing that SOLD me was rubbing the two together....RHINO crumbled into a dust! The fact is, Rhino is just a softer product!

Hi CPhilip,
You are right, I am new to this forum and did not know that this type of post was not allowed, for that I do apologize and it certainly won't happen again! My intentions were to "post from the horses mouth," sort of speak. I do realize that there are those who think LINE-X is not the greatest.....but as I can see from this forum, it's all about OPINION, and this is what I think! I posted my phone number, simply incase anyone had any questions. It doesn't make one bit of difference if I get work out of it! Incidently I have enjoyed reading some of your topics; you're everywhere!

No man, I realy like your product. Really! It's just that we have to keep things in line or we will not know for sure who we are dealing with and what their motivation is. In time you will understand and we will be able to look to you for technical advice and we then will be able to trust you. You don't want Steve to have to get on you either! I just stepped in to help you out before it went too far and keep the "Wolves" from feeding.

I wasn't stating anything about the quality of your product either. I didn't mean anything by what I said.
Anyway, the nearest Line-x dealer to me is in Bartlett almost an hour away, but I still plan to have this done soon.
Hmmm, maybe I should start a franchise closer to me. Lots of farmers just to the south and there are three rivers near me.
