Anybody Know Bed Liners?
I guess I'm too dense to use the "Search" function even tho I know this has been covered previously, so will try this instead.
I'm needing to take action to avoid further rust in Old Yellow's bed from having a rubber mat over the original paint. I think one of the spray or roll-on liners would serve best from what I hear. I looked over Ken's Tech Article on his bedliner, but got the feeling that the Herculiner system might be a little delicate for my application of a slide-in camper. At first glance, the Rhino sounded good, but then there are the detractors that say it looks pretty weathered in a relatively short time. Then there is the SuperLiner system which is pure urethane, but I can't seem to find any actual spec on thickness of application, etc. And I'm sure there are others out there that ought to be considered.
Anyone maybe in the business of application or have other experience that you would care to relate?
Thanks, Steve

I have to agree with you. I have heard good and bad things about Rhino. The only spray-in bed liner no one griped about is Line-X. Seems to be the premier lining on the market now. Check out their website. Not sure what the domain name is. Everyone who had one loves it. It is also easy to repair or recoat. No spraying the entire bed again. Good warranty too.

Hey Steve, I have a LINE-X liner in my 2001 ranger and am amazed by the product, finish, application, durability, etc. Check out their web site, and be sure to print the $20.00 coupon! http://www.goline-x.com/prodinfo.asp

Thanks guys! I went down to a local Line-X installer today and talked to them. The product looks good and the example trucks (their own) looked good too. I raced back home and pounded out some dents in my fender-wells, and I'm good to go! Steve

I work for the company who supplies chemical for Permatech bedliners. Most of us here have spray-in liners and they sure take some abuse. Gravel, wood, salt, snowmobiles, motorcycles, you name it. They shine up real well with a good washing and Armorall Noslip. An 8 foot bed will probably run between $450 to $500 and about $50 more for an over the rail. It will seal up any rust or bare spots and hide imperfections, too. Take your pick Rhino, Line-X, Permatech they are all good.
Good Luck,
Ben

thanks - that's a bit out of my price range for the time being, but the spray in liners do look sharp. I might get one on my next truck though- probably a 2005 f150

I've been considering the Line-X as well, to replace the plastic liner I have in my truck now. My only question is this: I have a hidaway gooseneck ball installed in the bed of my truck. Will it still be possible to have the Line-X liner installed with this setup? I havent talked with a dealer yet, so I was just curious.

I had the Rhino lining sprayed on my 2000 F-250 Long Bed when the truck was 1 week old. Cost $480.00 included the top rail.
This was with a $50.00 coupon. Had very good luck, abuse the heck out of it, sand, gravel, dirt, rock. Only complaint nothing slides on that stuff
I know thats what its supposed to do.
I put in a water heater and could not remove that slippery round thing from the bed of the truck by sliding it, had to pick it up!
Iam sure the other brands are just as good, my 2 cents for the lining chat.

I just installed a do it your self bedliner.
I bought it at Advance it was Bondo brand 59.95
It was easy to install and looks real good .
I have a short bed full size 150,I did the complete
bed including over the rails and tail gate .
I put 3 coats on the floor .
The only problem is if you can keep it inside overnight
you will be better off .
I did not and it did not dry totally. so I have some grey
spots . Nothing a little glossy black did not fix.
It was my fault ,the instructions said to keep dry for 24hrs.
I thought it was dry but the morning dew got it.
