Been in business now for over 2 years now. Ive had one Line-X come from a dealer in maine whos liner was peeling/flaking out. All i can say is, it must have been a bad day at the shop
Accoring to my log, we have about 500 man hours in grinding and chipping away other spray in liner from truck beds, boats, and even a WHOLE jeep that rhino had coverered. That was probally our worse job! What a nightmare. One post i noticed was thickness. Rhino puts there product on much thicker than line-x. Fact is, line-x is so durable it only needs to be 1/8" thick at the most. .125 thousandths of an inch is plenty strong, trust me! After many cut fingers and sore muscles or trying to tear up an 2'x2' square panel sprayed on 1/8" thick, it has sold me! We actually use that peice and ask people to try and tear it, if they do we will spray the truck for free. So far no steroid freaks have gotten a free liner!

Here's My Rhino Liner. Its in my 03 Lightning. I love the way it came out and get many compliments on it. It was done by a dealer in Central Jersey. They gave me a good price and it came out nice. 3 years later it still looks the same.

Thanks for the pics. I'll state some observations:
1. It looks like the dealer really didn't apply enough final texture, which is a dealer problem, not a Rhino problem.
2. You can see the effects of a low pressure product which is sort of wavy.
That waviness can also be seen here:
To contrast, here's LINE-X, which uses high pressure:

Just had my 06 FX4 sprayed today from Line-X. I must say I'm very pleased. Dropped it off at 8am and it was done by 10am. They went over everything they were going to spray and asked if I would like the bed bolts and the tail gate bolts removed prior to spraying. I had them removed them then spray and re-apply.
The dealer I dealt with was very professional and I would recommend going to them. I'll be telling my friends about them.

I'v had my Rhino liner for about a year now and it still looks great.
I picked it over the Line X liner because the Rhino dealer was a lot more professional. Point is, anywhere you go there are going to be good shops and there are going to be bad shops. Lets just hope you pick the right one.

Not to keep a almost dead thread alive but Line-X is the way to go. My FD used Rhino for a good amt of prjects and it all failed within a year, Line-X 4 years and not a single issue. So for heavy use and abuse rhino sucks, where as line-X is superior

I have been looking into getting a spray-in bedliner for my truck. Went to a Rhino dealer on Tuesday. Very professional shop, clean and he showed me a few trucks that had been recently completed. Quoted me a price of $375 (including tax) to do my truck. I am still debating which one to get, but to be honest I will probably end up going with the Line-X because I am military and move around every 3 years and the nationwide warranty is a huge selling point IMO.
