Spray In Bed Liner???

skoalman7 · 03-11-2009, 12:37 AM

There may be a thread devoted to this already and if so my apologies. But, what brand would y'all recommend? I use my truck on the farm quite a bit but it is my daily ride also so I want something that will last and look good also. Plus would you spray the bed rails or put some diamond plate rails on? All advice or comments welcomed.

I've had line-x and rhino. I prefer line-x. Rhino is kind of soft and tends to peel off too easy when scraped or have a heavy pallet. I think the line-x holds up better under weight and heavy scraping. I've got over the rail and like it. Tends to keep things just a bit more protected.

i have line-x, above the rails. lifetime warranty, so if you chip a piece out for some reason just take it back and they'll replace it. also i farm too and im always throwing random crap back there.

Everyone has there favorites, seems like most companys have lifetime warrantys. Just go with a dealer that you like. I will go with Line-x just because that guy can go drink for drink with me...

My Diamond liner has held up pretty good over the years however I don't abuse it. I would get over the rails.

I have Rhino over the rails in my truck and I love it. What I don't like is the crappy spray job that was done when it was put in. My edges are not as crisp and clean as my buddies who was sprayed elsewhere. I wanted to go with a dealer closer to my house. Make sure you look at some trucks that the particular dealer has done before locking in.

Line-X.... only way to fly IMO.... over the rails! for the price to go over the rails you can't go wrong, NOR can you even think about buying "rail covers" for the $!

I've had Line-X over the rail for a little over a year. I did the Line-X Xtra UV protection which makes the finish glossy black - not semi- or flat like the regular liner. The Xtra makes it a little harder and takes away some of the impact qualities, so have them spray it a little thicker if you go that way. The Xtra keeps it from fading over time. Of course, I've also had a SnugTop shell sitting over it, so the fading thing for me is a moot point until I take off the shell.

I gouged it ever so slightly yanking a heavy jet ski out of the bed with only one other guy - not the liner's fault. I've had Rhino and will say with certainty that the Line-X is far tougher.

Go with a "hard liner" like Line-X, Turbo-Liner, or Diamond. I would advise against a "soft" liner like Rino. They tear and rip much easier than a "hard liner". They also fade very quickly (dont belive them when Rino tells you they wont fade they are LYING. A friend of mine bought one and it went from gloss black to a dull gray in less than a year.) I have a Turbo-liner and I've been very happy with it. I installed a rubber bed-mat ontop of mine just to save it from the abuse of sharp edges and prevent things from sliding.

Reflex liners are really good too, they are a two step process with a harder liner and a rubberized surface. It will retain memory up to a 1/4" slice as well (meaning that if you cut it it will go back together and you can hardly tell where it happened). It cost a little more but it was nice on my 1500. Now I have a line-x in my truck and we'll see how it goes with it, so far so good.
