Old post, but what the heck....I've had Line-X in all three of my trucks and it has never let me down....

 

Rhino for sure!!! Rhino is alot softer after it dries so it is less likely to chip off. Also I've had both and when I took my linex in for chipping repairs it looked very bad after the repair and they charged me $25.00 each time. When I took in to have the Rhino repaired because I slid an engine in my bed and basicly scraped off the lining. after the repair was complete nobody would be able to point out the repair and best of all it cost me $0. Rhino seems to me to be the best spray in liner.

 

50mustangs: I don't doubt what you say, but some things you said don't sound right.

"Rhino is alot softer after it dries so it is less likely to chip off." No, that is incorrect. Softness has nothing to do with chipping.

"I took my linex in for chipping repairs it looked very bad after the repair and they charged me $25.00 each time." LINE-X is very easy to repair and you should not have been charged anything. LINE-X is the only brand with a written nationwide lifetime warranty.

 

Be sure that the installer of either bedliner removes the bed bolts before spraying. If you should need to removed the bed for any reason later (say while in the body shop) it is a mess to chip away the liner from around the bolts. It only takes a couple of minutes to remove the bolts and will look great afterwards.

 

I would just say this isnt universally accepted as a necessity. I had my bolts sprayed. I was given the choice but I like the look and the need to remove the bed is pretty remote. Just my .02 anyways

 

I sprayed Rhino for 4 years and found out many things the first being Prep is everything Rhino sprayed over clean unsanded paint will peel off without any effort at all but if it is preped the way that Rhino says that it should you wont have any peeling problems if the paint underneath is good. Rhino has a primer that is to be used on any areas of bare steel. As far as the no fade goes that is a load of BS the Rhino color will become dull within two years unless you have them spray the UV coating which is no more than single stage automotive paint. When you have a custom color Rhino sprayed the dealer can either have Rhino mix the UV coating or use PPG's DCC line of paint with the Rhino Catalist but you will have a layer of paint over the liner and the UV coating will chip. The Rhino Lining is an awsome product if you are looking for durability and nonskid, unless it is wet then its like ice. My best advice is find a dealer of any spray in liner and see what kind of work they do. Talk to their customers, because the people that spray it are in controll of how thick it is sprayed, the prep, and the overall look of the job.

 

Great taste

LESS FILLING

Great taste!

LESS FILLING!

 

I spray premium one liners for a dealer here in south carolina and am very pleased with the quality of the product it is a high pressure hot application with a very nice look and lifetime guarantee from what I have seen the line-x is good too rhino seems to have changed there material lately and looks better than years ago it mostly cpomes down yo the sprayer

 

Stay away from the faded cottage cheese (rhino), GO LINE-X and be happy!!

 

Line-X is definetly the way to go...about the bed bolts it is best to have them removed as stated before. I watched a demo of spray on liners where they took a piece of Line-X and a piece of Rhino and rubbed them together. The line-X piece shredded the Rhino like it was nothing. May not mean that much but that was neat to watch. Also you should never have to pay anything to get a Line-X patch even if it was your fault. I have nothing but good things to say about them.
