Spray in bedliner

[greif]

Ok, I asked about Rams, then undercoating now it's time for spray in bedliner. I had hurculiner put in my 98 GMC 20 years ago when it was first coming out. Held up well for 10-12 years then started get brittle so a few spots in the bed we're it pealed up from heavy use and faded. That dealer is long gone. Now we have line x and vortex around here. Same price but for $75 more linex has the uv protectate.

I know line x has been around for a long time but does anyone have long term experience with vortex.
Thanks

Line x since 2008, love it.

LineX since 2006... also love it and recommend it. Don't know about the UV coating but if you plan to keep your truck for its lifetime then I would go for it.

Had Rhino Lining in my 99 Sonoma, sold in 07. Linex in my current 07 Tundra. Like both, however the Rhino was thicker. Jon

Have the Line X with UV on my 12 Ram. I have a few nicks in it from hauling implements and heavy steel items but is holding up. The few nicks I have I have touched up with Raptor liner and it matched well and was a simple do it at home repair. I have used Raptor liner on several implements I have built and it is excellent especially considering the price!

Had Rhino sprayed in my 2010 and am still liking it!!

Would have gone LineX on mine but the shop changed over to Bullet liner. Apparently it's made by the original guy who invented LineX. Pretty close to the same thing and so far so good.

Have a factory spray on in my 2016 GMC..One year and no issues yet.

I paid under $400 for Line-x. I have no preference between it and Rhino; Line-x has more shops around the country though. I have a shop a few miles own the road that did it and odds are, if I ever move elsewhere, there will be a dealer there.

It's got about a 2" scratch that's about 1/2" wide in the liner that I plan to get repaired someday. Maybe never. Who knows? That was from placing a 60" box black that weighs ~900 lbs in the back and a corner drug while fork lifting it in.

If I were to do it again, I would have gone the same route.

cant go wrong with either linex or rhino liner. I have had both with great results.

I just bought a new F250 a few months ago and went with Line-X. I bought the truck 6 hours away and had the dealer take it to the Line-X store to be sprayed, but I talked with the Line-X dealer over the phone about it first. We talked about the UV protectant, but his quote was "If you're gonna use it, don't spend the money. If you're gonna have a show truck, it's worth doing". I didn't have it done.

This is my third Spray-in liner, the other two being Rhino due to dealer proximity. I only kept each of those trucks for 1-2 years, but the Rhinos already began to get milky/chalky and peeling up on both trucks. It was much softer, though, so it did a better job of keeping things where you put them in the bed. My Rhino liners were from the early 2000s so things may have changed, but currently I prefer the Line-X 100% more than the Rhinos I have had in the past.

If possible, I have heard really good things about Scorpion liners, but I have never seen them in person. However, it seems that in my area several dealers are spraying them (including the local Ford dealer's body shop).

The UV is to keep it looking new and shiny. Like SammyNole said if it going to used a lot it’s not worth spending the extra.
