Anyone have good experience or bad with spray in liners? There are about a million different brands. Last one I had was Line-X and I was happy but they seem pricey at $400. Anyone have other ideas or suggestions? Anyone use that do it your self product called Herculiner?<br><br>

 

I just did mine yesterday, took about 3 hrs total.
Best $96.00 I`ve spent on bed protection.If your gonna do it make sure you have a mixing blade for a drill and a bunch of latex gloves.

I have a Rhino in my '96 and it's awesome, I like the higher grip factor of the Rhino over Line-X but I hear both are good. The main concern is finding a good installer as the prep. work is more important than which you use.<br><br>I have never tried the do it yourself Herculiner type products that mymaur is referring to, but I here they don't protect near as much as the professional stuff. My bed bottom is 1/4&quot; thick!

 

The only thing I would add is be carefull of the spary in liners that are softer and offer more grip to keep something from sliding around. We used a spray in brand from a local installer and what we are finding is that the liner material is quite grippy but it scrapes off to easily when something is pushed across it. Our tailgate could use a respray. You can see the paint in the areas of highest wear. The bedliner is getting what is normal wear and tear for us. The drop in liner on our old truck is holding up fine.

 

I had Line-X put on mine the other week. Looks great. The reason I choose Line-X over Rhino was because of the nationwide warranty that Line-X has and Rhino is only warrantied by the installer. Since I plan on keeping my truck for a long time I felt that was the best way to go because I don't have to worry about the guy who installed it going out of business, then having problems with it and no one to turn to to fix it.

 

i have a bed rug....345.00loks clean and stays clean...waterproof oil proof kid proof...had to cut the rug around my fiver hitch but still looks factory!!...<br>Cameron

 

I put the Herculiner, do-it-yourself liner, in yesterday. Took about 3 hours and I am very satisfied. Of course time will tell. <br><br>Anyone that chooses to go this route, the company says buy the extra quart of product for a long bed. I found it was not necessary. I put a good coating on the sides and really put it on thick on the floor and tailgate; still had about a pint left.<br><br>Good deal, in my opinion for $83 bucks at K-Mart.

 

I have the company Custom Liners spray in mine 475.00 over the rails. What I realy like about it is the 1/8&quot; thick all arround. None of the ones I checked out were that thick. There is never any scraping off, real tough. I checked out the &quot;others&quot; to my eye this looked the best. http://www.customlinings.com OverFueled

 

I have a line x white liner sprayed in then I have a bed rug over. I have the line x and I find it chips easily cause its pretty hard and not soft I slid a set of leafs into it the other day before the bed rug and it all came off never had that with a bullhide liner I had in my 99. The bedrug is really nice and super clean looking.

 

My last two have been Rhino, and a variant of the same. The soft liners, like Rhino, are applied cold, while the harder ones, like Line-x are applied hot. Don't know if this makes an adhesion difference, all other factors equal?<br>A good cold installer can do a nice, consistent-looking job. A poor one will turn out a blotchy finish.<br>I have yet to see a bad-looking hot application.<br>Cold is softer and thicker, hot is harder, thinner, and abbrasive, like sandpaper.<br>Cold tends to hold items in place, hot can allow things to slide around.<br>Cold will gouge easily, I have not seen chipped hot, but consider JA&quot;s previous post and the fact that I have very limited personal experience with a hot product. <br>I believe that cold can be spot-patched, and hot cannot, but check this, as I'm not quite sure, and it may vary with the manufacturer/installer.<br><br>My observations on the pro's and con's of each.<br>Good luck
