That waviness can also be seen here:


To contrast, here's LINE-X, which uses high pressure:
That's great for a china cabinet. Rhino applies their products on trucks and are meant to work, not look purdy

Yes, LINE-X can be applied to wood and it does look very pretty as long as the wood has been sanded and there are no knot holes. LINE-X can also be applied to metals, most plastics, concrete, fiberglass, FRP, etc.

rhino liner now has a hard liner similar to line-x that i agree does look better and holds its color and shine longer. I still choose to use the softer more slip resistant rhino on my new XLT. I think if you shovel out of your truck or need to pull things out then the harder rhino or line-x is best. I go camping a lot in WV so the softer rhino liner is better at keeping my gear from sliding around. It seems to me that rhino and line-x both have pros and cons, i would visit different shops in your area and choose the one you feel will give the best customer service. i'll post pics soon, i'm waiting for my PE jackrabbit cover.

Well, Rhino has had a high pressure spray for a long time, called Durabond (it's still 100% polyurethane like Tuff Stuff), it's been around for years. Problem is, 99% of the Rhino dealers don't have the equipment to spray it, nor are they going to have the equipment to spray the new stuff. Rhino dealers will have to shell out around $26,000 or so and I can tell you that just like the Durabond situation, most dealers won't or can't shell out the money.

As of today, Rhino has not officially launched any new product. The only thing somewhat new is a new wand for their low pressure machine. I do confirm that they are working on a new product though.

Wait for what? For you to peel your Rhino off when you shovel your bark mulch for your wife's tulip garden? I can dig my fingernail in standard Rhino. This softness makes it better for keeping things from sliding around but it makes it less durable. I have not seen the Durabond version up here in New England.

Wait for me to catch my breath from laughing from all the B.S. and Rhino bashing. I doubt I would use it for mulch for the tulip garden(wouldn't want to get it dirty) buy I can tell you my cousin had his truck with Rhino for several years and I'll gurantee he used it more than you. He would load whole pallets of brick on it, busted concrete, stone screenings, etc. And yes, he shoveled out of it and NEVER did it peel or otherwise fail.

When I was spraying Rhinos I did quite a few floors in 15- 30ft cargo trailers I would start at the front and work to the back when I reached the back i would count to ten and walk back to the front. I never had any problems leaving footprints in the liner. but once again its all about finding the liner, texture, thickness you like and go with it.

Thumbs up More confused now!

Wow, I read all the posts on this thread and now I don't know which to go for, the Line-X or Rhino. I just bought my truck and need to get it sprayed. I want any gear in the back not to slide around. I went to the Line-X web-site and it states stuff won't slide around with their liner. Is this the case? From what I understand from most of the posts here is that the Line-X liner allows for gear to slide around while the Rhino does not. Who to believe? But anyway, a lot of good info on this thread and will help me in my decsion in the end.

You've read the comments and seen some pics. I suggest you visit the bedliner dealers personally so you can see and feel the bedliners. That's actually a very important step in the process of choosing which to buy.

I had Rhino in my old F150, and just got an 06' Lariat. Now I'm debating on which lining to put in it, I'm almost positive I'm going Line-X. But here are some pics of the old rhino. It held up decent. (Rhino Installed in 2000, pics taken in 2006)
