Which was is the best? I think Reflex is more of a non slip resistant type surface, not sure if that appeals to me or not.

I've had both Rhino and Line-X. I like the Line-X better and held its color a little better. The Rhino seems like a harder material and looked more gray than black after a few years. The linex felt more rubber based with a little softer material. No experience with the reflex though.

i haven't talked to rhino guy but i wonder if yours had the UV resistant shite in it. I know Linex has the premium that has the UV resistance. That's probably my biggest want is making sure it still has that shiny black look after a few years.

I had Rhino on my previous truck and I liked it a lot. Only problem was I didn't get the Premium Rhino spray and the spray didn't fill in the small microscopic holes and overtime it would get dirty. The liner would fill with dirt, thus it changed the color of the lining after 5 years or so.

I got a new truck and put in the Line-ex Premium and I love it. It has the anti-fading and weathering so it always looks brand new. It also filled all of the void space and porosity with its spray so you don't have to worry about dirt filling the small microscopic holes and discoloring it. I highly recommend going with the Premium as its worth the extra couple hundred dollars.

Rhino should be sprayed on high pressure at 240 degrees.

I recently had some foam sprayed with it for a project and it worked out great. It melted a thin layer of the high density foam and adhered to it. Great stuff.

They also have a special kind of non binding non polymer paint with UV inhibitors. The paint is very expensive but holds up very well to the sun.

It all depends on who you go to for the rhino though. I went to 6 places, some places go the cheaper route.

Line-X (with UV protectant)

Very durable. And the installer (just outside of Denham Spring) does excellent work.

i was told $450 basic, $550 premium. will talk to him about the ole bring in cash deal. I want them to look at the top plastic thing on my tailgate, i got the f250 with the drop step, i want them to linex the whole plastic top across, the part that drops down, the plastic fades and looks bad on that.

dunno, when I bought my Tundra from Price Leblanc it was already sprayed in - whatever Yota uses. It is not slick when wet and had held up for two years - 2014 model.

Lines UV resistant if you are having it done. Monstaliner if you are doing it yourself.

The Monstaliner is ridiculously durable.

For the truck owners here, what percentage would you say opts for a spray on liner?

20% or so? Less?

Seeing that invoice pricing, this probably isn't a bad little side business to get into if the start up costs are reasonable. TIA

Honestly?

I don't drive down the road and not see them. I say that because they slapped their fricking linex sticker on the back of my cab. I took that shite off immediately, but I am still constantly seeing that sticker on the back of trucks.

I think more trucks have it now days than not though.

I am military, work here on base. Even the military commercial trucks we have for putting around doing errands on base have them sprayed in. No point, as they are beat to shite anyways, but yet there they are.

Chevys don't need bedliners. Their commercials prove just how much better they are over Ford cause absolutely no one gets bedliners these days.

But seriously, Line X. I've had it on all of my trucks and it is top notch. Keeps the dark color and holds up very well.
