Spray-In Bedliners

What are some of the best spray-in bedliners? I've found a pretty real good deal on Rhino Liner brand near me but I want a tuff one that is also less susceptible to fading. And if you do Herculiner right is it worth doing?

I've got Herculiner in mine. This is when I first put it in, it's definatly faded out in the sun some, but is still a light black color. I'll be honest though, my bed doesn't get used for much these days, just trash runs and hauling motorcycles around. Can't really speak to longevity. Got mine for under $80 for the kit. Prep took a full day though, the bed was in rough shape

Check this do it yourself kit. Reveiws are high and cost is less than half most. I thought about trying it so I can undercoat etc. when I want with minimal cost.

I had line-x in my superduty, and I abused it, it just kept asking for more. I spilled every solvent and chemical known to man in that bed and it just kept asking for more...

My son is now working for that place that makes my biodiesel and one of the other things they are into is bedliners and spray in insulation. I haven't seen a bedliner done yet but my kid is doing their shop truck and his truck right now and mine is next. He's color matching all of them so mine will be white. I think they told me the stuff they use is poly urea but I'm not positive.

I learned the hard way with Zbart brand, I think it was rhino liner, that if you get black it will fade over time. Mine turned white the first time I washed it. Big white blotches all over it.
That's why I'm doing this one white to match the truck.

I didn't do it but mine had that done. It doesn't have any rust anywhere and it lived on the beach in Galveston before I got it. They got kinda messy though. I just spray the places that get chipped now with black rustoleum.

Linex will help save you from stone damage , it can still rust from the inside out though...

That's cool I thought I was crazy for thinking that. Yeah that's true but I've. Got a quarter sized hole in the driver's side floor pan so I was thinking of maybe doing the inside too. If I ever get around to it...

i have herculiner on my rocker panels on both sides of the truck as if it were my 2 tone, its super durable BUT once a corner starts to pick up its all down hill from there. just like a sticker it will start to peel eventually. i have to re do a few spots on mine if i want it to look perfect but i want it blown off and repainted anyway.

id go line-x, i put it over the rails and over tailgate. Im constantly hauling stones and motorcycles with it, little to no fade, and also there are different textures you can purchase as well as colors, custom logos.
Hope this helps
