My time is worth a lot to me. I am not made of money, but I have better things to do than spend all day of a weekend doing it myself. For $400 total give or take, I would rather have the time to hunt, work on the truck, heck, even do yard work, then have time left over in the evening to just relax and watch tv or something. Besides, Its lifetime warranty is a nice bonus for those of us that will keep the truck for many years. That's the way I look at it anyway. If you can't afford to have it done, then DIY and enjoy the fruits of your labor. I do all kinds of other things myself, i.e. electrical, plumbing, etc.

like i said before, i've never used line-x or rhino, but i did have great success with a DIY. a used a little over half a gallon on the cab, inside and out, doing the entire floor on the outside, spraying a good coat outside and about an 1/8th of an inch inside. the kit was 150, and i still have another full gallon left for other parts that are getting a treatment. personally, i'm on a tight budget, and it was a weekend job prepping the new cab before it went on the truck anyways, so it had to be done anyways. especially if you're not near a dealer, DIY is the way to go on a tight budget

So how long has the product been in service? Since you have actually used one of the DIY products, let my ask you how you liked it? Has it held up? I wouldn't use it on a truck bed as I use the truck all the time and treat it hard, but I would like to use it on other things, such as the boat bottom, tractor steps and stantions, etc. I just want to get a little better footing on those type of applications and don't use them enough to abuse the coating. Thanks

since right now its only in the cab, i can't tell you how it'll hold up if you use your bed hard. but i know it holds up nice in the cab, granted i'm not dropping in firewood or pig iron. it has really good footing. i'd guess it'd work really well for the boat bottom if you left out the rubber granules (seems like extra resistance), and the tractor and stantions would probably hold up well too.
