Line-X Bed liner

[RstyShcklfrd]

Anyone have any experience with this brand of spray on bed liner? I've generally heard good things about it, but was curious for more input.

Also, if you've had it done, how much did it cost?

Expect to pay $350-450 for your truck. Lately I've been using Rhino but I've also tried Line-X. I can't really recommend one over another. Anything is better than a plastic drop-in or not having one at all. But FWIW, if I'm getting it done I will choose Rhino. One of my trucks came with Line-X and I certainly was not going to remove it to re-spray Rhino.

Got my line x done for $450, I am thinking about getting the entire truck done

If you have an air compressor get Raptor. Same two stage compound for considerably less money.

Most all of the commercial spray in bed liners are similar in cost and quality. Durability and longevity all depend on how well the surface was prepped before it was sprayed.

I like the idea of DIY, but I'd be nervous to mess it up. It's not like gun parts where I can get a new part for cheap lol.

Almost bought a CJ5 that was done inside and out back in the day. I don't know what brand, but I've seen spray-on bed liner on the side of FBI HRT Suburbans. IMO, it's a legit way to keep body panels from getting dinged up.

My bed is already scratched and dinged up. I bought it that way, and now it's time to make it look nicer and keep it from getting messed up since the previous owner didn't care too much.

Different sorta answer here. Three years ago I was all set to have my motorcycle coated in line-x - money in hand. Only Houston shop I found was in SE Houston. A weeks worth of calls and three visits later I had not managed to have the bike looked at or received an estimate. I said screw'm and ordered a leather tank cover.

It's a truck bed, use it!
That said I've long had bed covers (or 6.5' long trunks ) but if I got a spay-on liner it would be a light color so it's not as hot as black would be.

LineX Xtra (black) in my truck $700 6.5' bed over the rails. LineX of Ft Worth - the guy that sprayed my truck knows his shtuff. Well worth what I spent on it. I've done the DIY thing on my other truck. I wasn't cheaping out on a bedliner for this truck.

I wanted color match but that would have cost even more and then I was getting into need vs want territory for cost.

You want to find an installer/sprayer who knows what s/he is doing. Prep is the most of the work. And a good sprayer will lay down the type of texture you prefer without compromising consistency and setup.

As for the long battled Line-X vs Rhino, I'll take LineX. Dad has Rhino in his truck. It feels a little more rubbery. It has torn in places. It has faded. His is also about 10yrs older than my bedliner job. But that is the only personal experience direct comparison I can make between the two products.

I do keep the rubber bedmat down on the bed for more impact protection. Particularly for loading firewood. The bed mat was in the bare bed when I bought the truck and I decided to keep it after the LineX.

Seems like a lot of people like Line-X on here too...

I do use it, but I don't want the bed looking like it does now.

Our paint guy at work sprayed all out
R pickups and even certain parts like counterweights on our forklifts whatever he used sucks its slick and cracks easily.

9 years in my pickup and still going strong. Best thing ever invented for a pickup bed.

There was a guy at a plant where I used to work that did his entire truck in that stuff. It was an old truck and had been hit by someone. The insurance company wouldn't pay to have it repainted but they gave him enough that his brother-in-law (who was doing the coating) could afford to cover the truck. Super non-reflective for hunting and such.

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

For those of you saying you've had it for a long time, are you experiencing any fading?

Mine stays covered

Thought about doing my truck in it since a flat black like Harley Black Denim is easily scratched.

Quality bedliners don't fade, they just lose their shine. They give you a wax/polish that you're supposed to apply every few months or so if you want to maintain that shine. It's stupid. It's a fucking truck bed.

But if you're worried about fade because you're going to get red bedliner so it matches the truck... FAIL.

Line X all the way, quality material. Funny fact most don't know is that line X has a military/govt testing branch. It's used in all kinds of anti-frag applications. At the PD our heavy body armor is coated in line X to absorb bullet splatter. And DAMN does it work. Tough stuff
