My Rhinolining

I got it done about a week ago but just got around to taking a pic. Its the same color as the graphite bed rails. It was $400 plus tax.

Did you have an option to match the paint on the truck? I was quoted 350-$400 for generic 'black' and $300+ more for a color matching spray in !
Has anyone ever tried to have the spray in liner color 'match' the truck? Love to see some pics...
Figured it would be impossible to match with our L's 'cause we have that 'metallic' finish...

I was told they have to strip the paint off the bed before putting a spray in bedliner in... did they do this to yours?
I like stock. Don't like to do something so permanent.

Looks very nice,

the John

Smile I love that stuff.

I have the Rhinoliner in my truck, black to contrast with the white truck, and I will never have another truck without something similar. The stuff is great, nothing slides around, well if I play nice anyway, and it is durable as hell.

This is the first truck I have ever owned with this type of liner and there is no going back.

Enjoy it.

I already had it done on my work truck and it is very durable. I was going to have it custom matched to my paint but like you said it would be more. Total cost was $360 for the black then to have it the graphite color was another $40. To have it silver with metallic and a clearcoat was going to be another $250. I figured that money could be better spent toward a set of headers.

In my opinion, Rhinolinings are the best brand of sprayed in bedliner. I once saw a 500 pound cement trough loaded into buddy's Dodge truck, and then pushed up into the bed. I was certain that when we took it out, that it would have stripped the stuff down to the body, but there was not a mark on it. Great Stuff!!!! I want to get a sprayed in bedliner, but the only places that do it in Alaska want an arm and a leg to do the work. Nearly $500 bucks! I guess that it will have to wait until I am in the lower 48 states.

The guy that did my Rhino lining. Has been doing it for years. He says stay with the black. He says in a couple of years the color ones fade. He showed me a truck that the liner was sprayed in red. It was a little over one year old. It already started to turn pink. From sun fade. . Bob.

SVT Bob, the guy who sprayed mine also told me that the red would fade. He said that any other color wouldn't except white, that eventually turns orange for some reason. They stand behind their products against fading for a lifetime.

If you want color, go with Speedliner. I had a red one sprayed in my '98 F150 about three years ago. I have since sold it to a guy I work with so I get to see it all the time. It hasn't faded a bit and still looks like new. It is a softer liner and grips very well, but it doesn't look as clean as the Line-X that I have now.

rhino lining

I had mine done about a year and a half ago. The basic black color was 300 bucks. The red (which matches the red Lightnings exactly) was and additional 40 bucks. The custom colors is where the prices really rise. It looks really good, and they do not strip the paint from the bed, just lightly sand it...............Phatford

I also have the the Speedliner color matched... red. It is now 2 years old and no complaints. It is not in the sun because I have an ARE II lid on. Nothing slides around and it is great and paid $279 with a lifetime guarrantee What I found out about the Rhino liners in this area, is a franchise fee of $100 is charged for each liner installed. I thought that was a little expensive, but I assume it covers the TV commercials.
