Linex here is usually around 4-500 for a bed. My neighbor's '02 SD has had the bed done since new, it still looks perfect. Linex is not rubbery or dry looking like Rhino. It is sort of satin colored and slicker. Her bed certainly clean easily, I have washed red clay and blood out of it with just soap. The Body Armor product is slicker according to what I read.

I called my buddy.

Not hard to spray according to him. He manages a body shop and they use it and another product which is cheaper. He says in his opinion nothing touches Linex. He has not sprayed the new Body Armor product but said he would check on it for me.

I am going to eventually swap out my bed with the one on my parts truck, some sort of painting is going to be done.

 

I picked up a gallon kit of Monstaliner to roll the lower half of my Vanagon with, since it sees a lot of brush and the paint is very rough.
Two key factors for me were the the ability to keep it clean, and UV protection. This stuff is supposed to roll on smoothly, so rather than a rough jagged surface, it is smooth and bumpy. The sample cards certainly look nice. So, I think it will be easy to clean. And it is UV protected.
I am just about done prepping the body, and will hopefully find out in a few months just how easy it is to clean.

If I really like it, I will do my F350 lower rockers in white.

This picture gives an idea of how smooth the texture is:

 

It looks to me like the 4500 went for more than just the paint the first pic with all the mismatched panels looks like new fender, new used box white cab red doors

At least I hope that's what all that money went for I do like it tho

Would love to do mine flat black

 

The Tundra and F-350 look awesome! A person would really have to like it, cuz once it's done it's done. I would hate to be the one to take it back original. Myself I'm not that brave, but my hat's off to those who are.

 

No, the owner did all tat on his own BEFORE line x raped him

 

ewalt, is this product available in colors and to anyone? I have never heard of it.

 

ponykilr... Something else you could look into to DIY

AL's Liner, also goes under the name Scorpion.

AL's is the DIY end of things. Same thing as Scorpion but sold in smaller quantitys.

It can be rolled(not recommended) Or sprayed. And can also be color matched

here is some of the things I have done

79 bed(2 gallons costing $168)



Bronco tub(again 2 gallons)




Inner wheels well and underside of dually fenders color matched(about 1 gallon)

 

That looks really good. Is it fairly slick? What I mean is does it feel rubbery like Rhino?

How did you apply it? Special spray gun?

I have done some painting, but like anything else if you do not do it regularly it never turns out as good as a person who does.

 

Yeah, they have a number of colors, with weird names...
Here are the colors chips:
Monstaliner do-it-yourself roll-on truck bed liner

I have the brown eyed girl, and it looks richer than the online image.

I also got mine in a kit for ~$97, which included a gallon, hardener, tint, roller, brushes, scuff pad, and chassis black pint.

 

It is very similar to Line -X. Not chunky like rhino.

I use their gun. It was $50. It is a hopper style
Here is a good vid on how to go about it(note while he starts spraying the primer with the AL's Liner spray bottle, you will see him finish with an ACE hardware one. the ALs spray bottle SUCKS)

 

That's about what it is here too, for the inside of the bed in black without the UV additive.
They add for color (color has UV by default), and they add for the rail tops/caps/whatever you call them.
Bringing the total for color matched with top rails up to about $850

 

Wow. Both of these products look good.

I guess ewalt does not know yet how his will hold up.

How has the Als held up Brad?
Looked easy to spray.

 

I think its kinda neat, but not for me. I don't like the idea of it being difficult to touch up.

 

I was considering using that AL's liner on my previous truck. Thinking about it for the new truck.
