How to remove a bad spray in??

I bought my truck a year ago with the liner already in and it is just crap. I have no idea what brand but at the front of the bed and on the tail gate it is bubbling and peeling but not enough to get it off. Just enough to look like crap. I had Line-X before and want to put it in this truck but how the heck am I gonna get this stuff off?? Any ideas??

I feel for you! There are several ways to do it, most are painful at best. Truckgasm is likely to jump in.

The worst ones I've heard are air chisel(OUCH) and a propane torch combined with a putty knife(again, OUCH). I've also seen a few that were almost completely peeled out by hand.

Oops, forgot to say you can just install a DualLiner right over the top.

I had my Rhino lining removed because of a bad install. I used a grinder with a wire brush. Try it. I liked the results.

Sounds like work but probably worth it. Thanks for the tip.

Depending on how bad it is a good installer could probally with a little grinding prep work could spray over it .

I know i am late to this one but mine peeled up like an orange. Had it entirely off in 2 hours.

Then I got the Line-X.
