Is there a large list somewhere of all the spray-on liner companies? I know I don't like linex style (personal preference- it's too hard, and things slide around too much for what I do), and I am a fan of the Rhino Liners- thats what I have in old my truck. However, I thought I might branch out and see what other similar options are- just like I did with my TruXedo tonneau over my old Access tonneau- very pleased and I saved money!

I guess Rhino Liners are Polyeurathane- What other companies make similar liners?

Look through their examples, lots of neat ways to spray a bed, and other parts.

I got that one. A local hardware shop was doing it as a sideline business. It was cheap and the liner is soft. I'm very happy with it. But I will note that I usually always have a truck cover over it.

 

How is it holding up and how does it look? How long have you had it for?

 

We're currently applying LINE-X to 30 trucks for a pest control service. They are switching from Rhino to LINE-X because things slide around LESS with LINE-X (and it looks nicer). So, I suppose it depends on what your loading onto the bedliner.

Nice list there, but many of them are NOT 100% polyurethane, including Speedliner.

 

I'm going to go check out their work. For me living 30 minutes from the nearest McDonalds (aka in the middle of nowhere), I was surprised to find a body shop that does speedliner only 10 minutes away.

I would like to hear how long you've had it

 

lol you think your bad.. i'm a hour and a half away from any MacDonald's... lol
yeah thought i have to agree I have a spray in liner/body shop in a small town about 15mins away... lol

if it says much we just got a BP's and Walmar'ts comming soon. WOOT WE'RE MOVING UP IN THE WORLD!!

lol Wainwright Alberta.
If you're here, your here because you own a farm, you got transfered in the military, or oil. (i'm in the oil part of it.)

 

You need to think about things like warantee also. Line-x has a nationwide warantee. My father has a rhino lining. It is holding up fine. but it is slipery and thin. The new rhino lining has a thicker option like the line-x.. but the rhino lining doesn't heat up there mix before applying and it runs into the bed grooves. Line-x heats there mix to 160 deg. and it sets almost instantly and conforms to the shape of the bed. The thicker rhino lining seems to scratch a lot easier than line-x. I put a yard of sand in my truck yesterday and shoveled it out and there is no damage what soever to the line-x. For the spray in liners, I do believe the biggest names are best to stay with because of the national warantee. You don't want to have a problem and not have it covered because your dealer went out of business.

 

I had Speedliner in my Truck in Hawaii. It doesn't hold up well to the sun at all. Faded quick and got very brittle after 2 years. I have also had Rhino in one truck and now have Line-X in my new truck. Of the three, I'd rate them
Line-X #1
Rhino#2
Speedliner #3

 

I am not saying one liner is bettter than another but the most important thing to remember is the person that sprays it is in control of the texture, thickness, and adhesion of the bed liner. I sprayed rhino for four years and speed liner for a year before that. I don't know about the speed liners know but when I was spraying them we used a "speed liner gun" it was know more than 19.95 drywall texture gun from harbor freight. After the 2 day dry time they were very tough but very pourous. The color did not seem to fade but the long dry time and the difficulty of cleaning oil out of the pores caused us to spend the bucks and get a Rhino system. Rhino is a very good product. As far as a heated application. The rhino is to be used at about 80 degres after it has passed throught the gun and mixing tip it will chemicaly react and heat to over 200 degrees and cure in seconds. Once again I will say find a liner and a shop that you like. Look at the texture and the elastisity of the liner but most of all the prep. You can have the best liner in the world and if the prep sucks its not worth it. I have used Herculiner on the front of trailer fenders and after about 6 months you can tell which ones were preped the right way and the ones i just rolled it on to cover up the rust. I hope this helps
