That does not sound right, the dealer cannot properly apply Xtra for $100. Sounds like the dealer is not familiar with how to apply Xtra onto an already existing bedliner. If you wish, give me the number and I'll call him for you.

When it comes to pricing, There are a lot variables how much things cost. You can always go to the websites of the manufacturers and broaden your zipcode search and call other dealers in your state. I have found many different prices between the same brand dealers often only 30 or so miles from each other.

Never heard of Speedliner. Do they have a website? How does it compare to Line-X. I have had a Line-X liner for 6 years and I swear by it but I am always willing to look at a new product that is priced right for the functionality. As for Rhino vs Line-X, Hands down Line-X. I have seen some bad stuff happen with Rhinos. Gouging, peeling, etc. Totally different materials. Just my 2cents.

Speedliner, Superliner, and Scorpian are significantly different products. They are solvent based polyureas much like marine paint. You mix activator with resin and then brush it on with a brush, roller, or use a gravity hopper gun. All three brands must first apply a primer to the truck so that the bedliner product will stick to the truck. Since they are more like paint, they will hold their color, but they lose their gloss. Speedliner's website states that after 2,000 hours (that's less than 3 months), the liner can lose up to 20% of its gloss. These products take an hour or more to dry and 72 hours to cure.
Just to compare: LINE-X (and Rhino) do not contain any solvents, do not require a primer, and use a high pressure application system. LINE-X dries in about 4 seconds and cures within 24 hours.

Overall I am happy with my decision, although I expected it to be a little tackier than it turned out. I think I'm going to have to strap-in my rubbermaid truck-box to keep it from sliding around.

Some people want to be able to slide things across LINE-X, others don't. So, you're going to automatically get a medium texture. If you don't want things to slide around, tell your dealer and he will apply a heavy texture.
