spray in bedliner prices

so im thinking of ditching the factory bedliner, its trashed. was shopping around local for spray ins. one place said 700.00 for line x, another said 450.00 for rhino? hows the rhino hold up? anyone use it?

 

Bed is composite so any linning might not stick or so ive read on here

 

He has a first gen

 

I used rhino on my chevy before and it was awesome! I did it myself and it costs like $100ish to do it yourself and it wasn't even that hard.

 

Bed is not composite. This is 1st gen forum

 

I have had the Line X in mine for 13 years now and I really like it (2003 access cab). I paid $750 for it in Colorado Springs, CO. I haven't hauled anything too abrasive though, mainly firewood, some furniture and an ATV. I am always parked outside and it has held up extremely well in the sun too. I have spilled a lot of oils and detergents in my bed and neither chemical seems to have affected the lining. If only I could install this in my 2nd gen composite bed...

Very satisfied with mine.

 

My bad didnt see nevermind

 

was thinking of the diy approach too..thanks guys. any info is great

 

I got the LineX last summer and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Got the premium UV with the "Like new for life" guarantee. Also had them spray over the bed rails to cover up some paint damage from the plastic bed rail caps that were on for 14 yrs. I just found the invoice and the total out the door price was $660, with a $100 discount they gave me. Not cheap but if I had to do it over, I'd do it again.

 

Here in Iowa I was quoted 550 w/ over the rails

 

No surprise there, everything costs more in CA.

 

Yeah and sadly all my old friends from cali still make less than I do here in Iowa . Idk how you guys do it

 

It's cause nobody wants to live in Iowa. What do you do for entertainment?

 

the going average rate for spray on bed liner is $400-$450 any more then that they are robbing you so go somewhere else.

as to whose best, I guess it depends who does it not the brand, my brother had rhino liner do his truck and it looked good and he was happy but it was only 1/16" thick and after a few years it was worn completely through to the paint in several spots like the rails and humps. I had my chevy 1500 done with linex liner and it was 1/8" thick and I have nothing but good things to say about it.

the shops in each area are very different, its like a mechanic, you have to look at the work they have done and ask someone who used them, the key is to just go to one you can see in person just how thick they spray it because not all shops spray on the same thickness, some do one coat to cover the paint and call it finished and some do 2 coats like they should, and some who care about doing it right will do a 3rd touch up coat if need be to get everything well coated.

now I just recently did my 04 taco myself with roll on bedliner and it came out great, its about 1/16" thick and takes a couple hours of sanding prep then about an hour to roll it on after taping everything off. its looks professional and only cost me my time and $100

It's our cross to bear. Just to be able to say we can surf and ski on the same day.

 

With all the extra money I buy taco parts

 

True that I was born in Van Nuys ? Maybe Burbank idk whichever has the children's hospital. Beautiful place but left when I 13 so never got to enjoy it enough
