Bedliner Thickness (spray in)
I just fought with a company here in MGM AL with my Scorpion Liner. They did a good looking job, but the thickness was about like a thick coat of paint. They finally did another coat, and it looks how I want it. Most of these liners advertisements say "up to a quarter inch thick" I have yet to see one be that thick. What I see is about 1/8th of an inch which is about what mine is now. Is this a normal thing across the nation with these spray in liners being thinner than advertised. I wonder if some of these people installing them are trying to skimp on materials. Just curious.

I have a Scorpion spray-in liner also. It is about 1/8" thick, medium texture, midnight green. Cost about $400 - I was expecting thicker material also. The guy said he did 2 coats on the bed floor and tailgate, and one coat on the sides. The good thing about Scorpion is that it has a lifetime warranty - any repairs are free!
I think that 1/4" thick thing was started by Rhino but you have to pay the highest price (like $600+) to get that. Even Rhino's standard and mid-range coating is about 1/8" thick at best.
If I would have known all this to start with, I would have just bought that do-it-yourself roll-in bedliner, given it 3 or 4 coats, and kept about $200 in my pocket.
By the way, my sig says Rhino liner just because I was sick and tired of explaining what a Scorpion spray in bedliner was. Rhino is a more familiar name.

I won a Rhino lining at the Chicago Auto Show last year and the job they done was great. I would say the coat they done on the floor of the bed is 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick and on the sides between 1/8 and 1/4. One other good thing about it being that thick I was able to get rid of two sand bags this year because of the extra weight.
