Line-X
When I went to the dealership the other day they had a RED Lariat F-150 with the Line-X spray in bed liner that was even color matched. It looked fantastic. I see what ya'll where saying about Line-X. It looked really nice. Almost like laser measued to the 10/1000 of an inch.I didn't know Line-X color matched also. That wouldv'e been nice to know. I guess I got really lucky with my Rhino Liner becuase it was just as nice as the Line-X and I have seen other Rhino's done and they looked like crap. I guess if anyone is wanting a spray in bed Liner I would certainly say do the Line-X. I got lucky with Rhino, but don't trust to my luck.

Rhino will do colors won't they? I was stopped at a redlight right next to the local Rhino truck (I'm assuming a sales person or something with RHINO plastered all over this Yellow Edge Ranger)... it had a red spray in liner that was, of course, Rhino.

I did a Rhino spray liner on two of my pickups, and wouldn't consider any other. As for the colors, they can custom color any liner you need, although for the custom color, there is an additional fee. I stuck with the stock colors, and have only received compliments.

When I bought the truck it was tossed in free, but I think the cost is about $500.
Rockpick: Don't you think that Rhino salessman would use Line-X so it'd look nice? You don't think they'd use Rhino to advertise do you!

light weight applications
I love my line-x. When I had it installed I believe the price was about $350. My truck is black so I didn't put any thought into colorizing it.
My impression of line-x vs. the rhino is this: The rhino seems a little softer than the line-x and will probably not withstand sharp object abuse like the line-x will. However, most people subject their bed-liners to light-duty applications, so either liner will likely last as long as the truck does.
Installation quality is just that. The experience of the installer (given he's trying to do the best job possible) will make a huge difference on the final appearance. I've seen good and bad installations of both systems (luckly I have one of the good line-x installations).
The bottom line is, ask to see previous installations and scrutinize the heck out of them. Look for clean lines where the product starts/stops. Just like any painting job, the more time the installer takes preping the vehicle for application, the more likely the application will be neat and worth paying for.
Cheers,
Marcus

You said it
Well said grishfish
My Rhino is the nicest I have ever seen. I said in another post, nieghbor up the street got a rhino done from the same dealer and it looked like they poured it in and swished the truck around to coat the sides of it and set it out in the sun to dry. They covered the holes for the bed extender, covered all the bolts and tie downs, I mean it looked like crap. Mine looked beautiful. I agree its softer then the Line-x. That stuff is much harder. Rhino is better I guess for things that are lighter and slide around. It grips really good, but can easily get stabbed. Line-x is some hard stuff. I guess it really depends on the intaller like you said, and the prep, and what you want to do with it. I like the stuff not sliding around.
I pulled into a parking lot today next to a truck that had the Line-x tab on its bedliner and it looked like sh*t. It had runs in it, everything was coated..and I thought....you know....I bet he'll want the Rhino when he sees mine. I was very surprised knowing I posted this link earlier this week. Prep had a lot to with it. And doing a good job means more. I hope this helps anyone wanting to do a bedliner.
Truck of Doom:
No I did not get the bed rails done.....they said that the plastic pieces on top should stay in place for some reason or another....and they are there for not only functional purposes but for cosmetic. I dunno.
